...wealthy pleasure-loving cat named Ray dies and goes to hell, where he's forced to drive a 1982 Subaru Brat and gets drunk with legendary bluesman Robert Johnson at a Best Western. This kind of thing never happens to Garfield. The characterization in Achewood is so thorough it's almost novelistic, to the point where it breaks the frame--the strip's creator, Chris Onstad, maintains blogs in the voices of his characters.

...contained, and how it would benefit us to have at least tried. Shapiro offers a series of complicated and detailed strategies to confront global terror, including greater investment in human intelligence to methodically track and stop weapons proliferation, and to his credit, he avoids oversimplification and instead offers thorough analyses of individual situations. His criticisms lack the liberal slant you would expect in such a work. Shapiro lambastes both Democrats and Republicans: Democrats for their lack of a standpoint and Republicans—more specifically neocons—for ignoring tried and true public policy in favor of more imperialist...
