Onstad, did you give all your money to companies that failed? Is that why Achewood is so rare now?

I was shocked to find that the Hun was still operating. It was such a revelation when I first got forwarded that link. Soooo much more handy than actually typing "free nude xxx pics super hot no some fatties " into a search engine. And no Google back then either, either. I remember having one favourite engine for regular searching and one for porn. I think AltaVista did good porn.

FakeEdit: Oh poo poo! AltaVista is still up too! Gonna go ay-vee me up some spankbank deposits for old times!

Probably about a month after Cookbook II, and a few weeks before Cookbook 1.

People always bitch when there is a delay, yet when the strip finally comes out, it's flooded by a sea of praise, which is usually spiked with a few 'Achewood just aint as good as it used to be, guys."

Then there is a delay and people start bitching, strip is updated, repeat ad nauseam.

I have never known the delays to be as long as they have been these past couple of months. The strips are almost always brilliant but god drat, we've been waiting forfuckingever to find out what's up with T and the cock that might be in his mouth.

So let's close the thread then? I mean, you have it all figured out, here. (minus the occasional post by Onstad, I guess)

Clearly Onstad was just trying to figure out the most scientific way to get otherwise straight guys interested in potential dude-on-dude panel van blowjobs.

It has been done for sexy science.

The rainy season has started in Portland (or as I call it the 9 months of depression) so maybe he's just been enjoying the brief sunny period we have here. Soon he'll be locked up in his (apartment/house/yurt) with nothing to do but drink and write comics for goons.

I was bored this morning:

September 10th is the date of the last published Achewood strip at which point it was 127 days since our last workplace give-a-gently caress. 127 days before September 10th is May 6th, right between the end of the Phillipe Goes Home storyline (May 4) and the start of the High School storyline (May 9).

I picked up GOF and the first volume of Achewood at Powell's the other day. I definitely recommend them to Achewood fans, they're pretty good.

I've griped about this here before, but I will do so again:

I pre-ordered "Achewood Volume 3: A Home for Scared People" on November 13, 2009. Every two months or so, I get another update letting me know that the release date has been pushed back. Currently it's supposed to ship sometime after the first of the year. I'm tempted to just cancel the order, but it's kind of funny having it rattle around in my order queue for so long.

If I were waiting for the next Stephen King novel, I know that he'd need time to write it. If I were waiting for the next Dragonlance novel, I know that I would have to patiently wait for a month while someone flung a few nickels at a heroin addict to get him to grind out another 150 pages of crap, followed by another month of layout and printing.

In this instance, dedicated fans have been waiting for a year to purchase a book full of drawings they've already seen, with text they've already read, because they admire the artist and want to support him. In fact, I'm going to assume that some factory in China is pumping out bootleg copies of "Happy Cat/Sad Cat Volume 3" alongside stickers of Calvin pissing on Ford or Chevy logos.

Love the Onstad, want to support the Onstad, but really curious about this Vol. 3 thing, which I'll still buy whenever and if ever it is available.

There was a chicken recipe after all: Nice Pete's, so, if based on that- we say that the length of the wait is proportional to the awesomeness of the result, the next strips should be of a radiance only compared to the likes of the Great Outdoor Fight.
