I didn't think it was possible for my heart to skip a beat while looking at Google Reader, but damned if Achewood (1) didn't do it.

Chris was knocked up by a FedEx delivery man? Is Chris . . . pregnant?

Dear Chris Onstad, I am sorry you were sad. I hope you feel better. Thank you for another cartoon about talking cats and stuffed animals. It made me smile. Love, Dick Eye.

That was pretty weak, but at least it was an update.

Do you think they'll have to piss out "What is" or "Who is" every time?

Goddamn I laughed my rear end off the whole way through, especially when Philippe realized no submarine was coming. Also Proud Man Syndrome. I hope this is a welcome back and not another six weeks between strips, but regardless of all that I loved this strip.

I hope that Chris is really okay now! ...I think it's sweet that he tried to load up every panel with some creative combination of words to make up for the lost strips

I thought this strip was HILARIOUS. There's a few gems (the urine calligraphy is worth a good wince) and it's nice to see everyone again.

I wonder if this strip appeared because we're slowly heading intro spring and Onsta..., I mean Roast Beef's S.O.S.A.D. is going into it's yearly remission?

benito posted:I just listened to this the other day: I honestly think he feels he's outgrown his strictly internet based audience at this point, perhaps along with the existential meltdown or whatever else. I've been with this comic since 2003 and reading it nearly every day, so I remember the time when the online store was sparse and he was selling those paintings of characters for about $100 a pop. Months before the comic started trailing off, he was suddenly writing articles for The New Yorker and Esquire and NPR, having all these recognizable journalists polish his ego over what a voice of a generation he was. Right before the hiatus, I remember he was cooking dead animal testicles with a famous chef for some reason. Goddamn I wish I'd jumped on his cheapo artwork way back then, too.

Is the guy doing commissioned work anymore? Chris? Are you doing commissions anymore? How much do I have to pay you? Lots? Some? (does he even post here these days oh god)

Yeah, it wasn't commissions so much as he'd sell a painting on e-bay every once in a while.

I think it's time to read through the archives again. I should be done about the time another update goes up badum-pssh. But really, it's time to do another read through, I haven't done it since before Cornelius fell in love with a stripper.

Stopped reading this comic in January 2010 for some reason, so I just caught up on a year's worth of Achewood in one sitting. That was awesome. It's too bad you can't do that every day.

It took about an hour or so, got the impression that there were a lot fewer strips in 2010 than other years. After looking through the last few pages of this thread it kinda starts to make sense.

So we've got about 2 weeks before we get another comic about how there hasn't been a comic in awhile but they're starting now, right? And the alt-text will be something like "hey everyone i'm back"? I just want to know so I can mark it on my calendar.

According to his Twitter, he's in Disney right now, or just about done with the vacation. It's a valid reason for not updating the comic as opposed to weeks of silence with only vague hints about a "brain problem" buried in subscriber-only info.

Dominion posted:Maybe. He might also just be depressed and have low motivation to really do anything. I've been there, so I get it. Yeah, if this is the case, he could at least have the balls to just say "gently caress it, I'm done." He's stringing us along like a girlfriend who cheats on you endlessly simply because she can't man-up and just tell you it's over. Onstad is probably polishing some other comics knob right now.

Or he wants some middle ground between "here is a new comic every other day" and "no Achewood forever".

I wouldn't exactly call the current rate a "middle ground".

Cobweb Heart posted:I wouldn't exactly call the current rate a "middle ground". Right, but I'm saying maybe Onstad is trying to find a middle ground, and I'm disagreeing with Bloody Hedgehog that he should "just say 'gently caress it, I'm done.'" And never work on Achewood again.

Yeah, it's not like he's doing this on purpose. If he's depressed then by definition he's not thinking about it logically.
