Achewood Roast Beef T-shirt Bread Bag

• Malaise Dissonance: While clinical depression is a serious condition, those who don't accept it or haven't experienced it first paw can sometimes observe Roast Beefiness tiresome. He has a loving wife who accepts all his faults and dedicated friends. He's depressed because that'due south what the illness does, regardless of circumstances — just often he has nada to legitimately be depressed nigh.
  • Roast Beef has probably one of the nearly accurate portrayals of low in entertainment, right downward to lilliputian symptoms that don't get discussed much. Then his character can be incredibly cathartic to those who have had depression, only a scrap frustrating for those who haven't.
• Arc Fatigue: When combined with Schedule Skid, it's a nasty combination. Some arcs wouldn't exist so bad if they didn't get 2 weeks between updates.
• Archive Binge, Annal Panic: It's been running a long fourth dimension, and the fact that each strip tends to exist an extremely long one with multiple jokes, scenes and panels doesn't help matters. It probably takes twice as long to become through equally a similarly long-running strip. While the comic began receiving weekly updates again in 2016, that only lasted a year, and the strip has been dormant enough to give a reader plenty time to catch upwards in case he always starts updating again.
• Catharsis Factor: Onstad has received a great bargain of fanmail regarding the portrayal of Roast Beefiness's depression for this reason.
• Fan Community Nicknames: Chochachos, for members of the semi-official Achewood Facebook grouping.
• "Funny Aneurysm" Moment: The various Accept Thats toward Jared Fogle in the early Subway Wars arc take on a somewhat harsher tone later on the spokesman was arrested for having sex with minors.
• Heartwarming Moments: "Is he really that much of my dogg?"
• Ho Yay: To commemorate Roast Beef's and then-newly founded relationship with Molly, Ray gives him a volume on sexual techniques. And then oddly gives Roast Beef a tight hug that makes him visibly uncomfortable. Especially when Ray informs him the tight hug is 1 of said sexual techniques.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • HERE COMES A SPECIAL BOY!
  • Roast Beef'southward I'Chiliad THE GUY WHO SUCKS/PLUS I GOT DEPRESSION shirt
• Nightmare Fuel:
• Sacred Cow: The comic, for relatively obvious reasons, merely also, oddly enough, Onstad himself within the fandom. In spite of him being of... somewhat questionable trustworthiness, anyone bringing this upwards ^note especially the incident where he took thousands of dollars in pre-orders for a 2nd cookbook, then never made the damn thing and refuses to acknowledge that it ever happened will get immediately and violently shouted downwardly.
• Tear Jerker: The "what is the saddest affair" strips are clearly trying to go this reaction, and they certainly practise from Philippe. Special mention goes to the arc where Phillipe got some of Ray's Born Lucky qualities and made several meg dollars every bit a result. Teodor used some of the coin to ship him back to his female parent, only to detect that his old dwelling has inverse so much that its not actually home to him any more than. This somewhen ends with Phillipe being visited by the spirit of his father:

  "Dwelling, she is . . . la grande illusion. She a time, no a place, an' yous fourth dimension here was over. Pack you handbag an' go back to thees life you already 'ave. You maman she will cry . . . but that is what a maman mus' do. Life ees cruel . . . merely at least eet is life, at least for a while."

• What Do You lot Mean, Information technology's Not for Kids?: A drawing strip almost talking animals ... who are sometimes abusive alcoholics. Yay!
• The Woobie: Roast Beef. May be the entire point of his beingness.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Beef also qualifies as this from time to fourth dimension.
  • 'Jerkass' is a flake of an understatement, but Dainty Pete is a prime number instance of a woobie that was pushed but a piddling too far and snapped.
