Post-fire Bill Murray kind of reminded me of Cartilage Head. Do you think that's what Lynch's movie is really about? If it's not, shouldn't it be?

If David Lynch saw Cartilage Head, he would say "Well poo poo. This is what I've been trying to do all along."

Someone commented today on the fact that my msn profile at work says "you can do anything you want in life."

I promptly linked them the relevant strip:

That's kind of a weird strip to send someone at work.

But the question is: can you get me a copy of Hot Tub Brawls vol. 6 with your employee discount?

As to the strip..."Sloplung". I don't understand how he catches lightning in a bottle in almost every strip. Brooke McEldowney likes to write dialog with giant words, Onstad just writes dialog with...les mots justes.

I think what makes it worse is the donate link at the top of the page.

There's also been a lot of people reporting they bought stuff off the store in the last few months and never got anything. That in itself is troubling.

I ordered a poster set on August 24 that hasn't shipped yet. On September 10 I sent the shop an e-mail and got this response:

quote:

Hello Brendan,

Thanks so much for your order! Chris has been busy with some new projects, and we're experiencing some processing and shipping delays as a result. We do hope to ship your order out soon -- when we do, you'll receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information. Of course let us know if you'd like to make any changes to your order. Thanks for your order; we're very sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks,

Rory
Achewood Customer Service

I thought that Onstad hired a dedicated staff so that his other projects wouldn't affect the store, but I don't know. At least we know that there's a reason for the delay and they're not losing anyone's orders.

For some reason I was under the impression that he hired one dude, which was a step up from the operation being him and his wife. Don't know where I heard that though, if I did at all.

Yeah, I've e-mailed the store specific e-mail a few times about an apron I ordered in early July and still haven't received.

I'm not piss or anything, I just want the apron.

After giving it some thought, I kind of want to make an avatar out of the second-to-last panel in this strip. Is there a goon with Photoshop skills who'd be up for animating it for me with some speed lines, or maybe Teodor flying past the "camera"?

It wouldn't be so bad if it was came out right with " Hey some shits going down, comics on hiatus for a while", but this thing with people not getting the stuff they ordered does not bode well.

Onstad, come back to us baby. We ain't angry. We just worried. You just get us so crazy sometimes.

Remember before the 4th-most-recent update (or something like that, I think it was early September or so; one of the Nice Pete / Teodor van ones) the text on the homepage said "I just had an awful experience that allowed me to properly write this comic" or something like that?

Wonder if that has to do with the delays.

It's a zero-update month for those lucky enough to subscribe to the Fan Flow. Of course the banner ad for it says that is "growing daily".

My dad left behind a box full of issues of "Van Magazine" from the late 70s, I doubt any of those mention Van Rape but there's probably at least a few suggested modifications to make your van a more welcoming place to score.

Your dad did not want those magazines "at all." He peeled out after he dropped them off. You didn't even shake hands.

Some dude clutching his innards as he bleeds out into the cheap bleach faded shag while a broken disco ball spins overhead generic music blasting tinnily from an eight track.

Outside, a van covered with STAR WARS rocks vaguely.

I think Van Death is a fear built into our genetic memory. Early cavemen were lured to their deaths in proto-vans made out brush, mud, and stones. Ever since, man has instinctively know not to approach a van lightly.

All joking aside, even when I was in elementary school, every kid knew when he a saw a van from the 70s, that somehow it was just plain wrong. The lizard part of our brain just shouted out "No! Van equals death, or a very hurt butthole."
