Okay, I get it a little

I’ve tried, I’ve really tried, but I just don’t get Achewood. I want to like it, I should like it, but it just seems to fall flat for me most of the time. If anyone can explain what I’m missing, please do.

That said, the most recent strip is an utterly brilliant parody of Chris Ware. I love it, so I shall keep giving the strip a chance.

(Maybe it just needs more mallets?)
