That's nothing, during the Great Outdoor Fight somebody in the thread wrote what was essentially fanfiction about how Ray was gonna lay down and let Beef win because Beef wanted to propose to Molly as the winner of the GoF.

I love how that kind of thing sounds so plausible for a decent story arc, and Onstad seems to always come up different and better.

McGravin posted:He's said in the past that all the characters have a little bit of his personality in them. Perhaps Teodor has more than the rest, but if any character is Onstad's self-insert, I would think it is the character of Onstad who makes several appearances in the comic. Does that also mean he casually wears thongs all the time with sunglasses indoors, projectile vomits on American Footballs and peel out in his Van?

drat you, Seat Safety Switch. So, is this sequence of side-story strips more or less officially saying 'I'm not finishing off the story arc'? Because I can make my peace with that if I have to, I just feel uncomfortable every time there's a new strip and it affords no closure, replacing narrative continuity with a series of narrative continuances, if you will.

Given that the interrupted arc was about Teodor maybe sucking a guy's cock, I think today's apropos-of-nothing comic is actually quite relevant.

If it means we keep getting pretty, full color pages like the last two strips, I'm perfectly fine with leaving it behind. The end of that story can be worked out from what we were left with anyways: Between Roast Beef's mind games and Ray's rallying, the day is saved and the tyrannical reign of high school is ended forever. The Lynch adaptation will open to lackluster reviews, but finds new life in college film courses across the nation.

Reading through the archives, this lack of closure is pretty common. Storylines just stop without any sort of conclusion, probably deliberately since that kind of neat resolution never really happens in real life. It's fine when there are continuous new strips because you can just keep rolling along with the comic, but when updates are scarce it's more jarring.

Two new things on the Fanflow today. I am pleased.

If you're despondent over the lack of material, you can just follow Michael Ian Black on Twitter and hope he manages to recycle jokes from the entire Achewood archive. It's kind of like updates!

I also had an Achewood dream, but it wasn't like the strip at all. I started up a company with Pat, manufacturing sunglasses that had changeable color. The ads had Pat playing a guitar and Roast Beef playing a synthesizer, with the Joker dancing. I showed the ad to Batman, whose face grew hard as he realized who the dancing man was. The idea of having sunglasses that you can change the color of was rad, though.

I had an Achewood dream the other day where a new comic was announced, but to view it, you had to visit a particular Portland bus stop, and Onstad would lead a group from there to his house. (It was only going to display on his home monitor.) Then we had to climb a giant moss-covered ramp to get to the third floor, as that was the only way to get into the house. Sadly, I think I woke up before I saw what the strip was. In non-dream news, I received a memo from Amazon that Volume 3's delivery date moved up to 12/8/10 instead of 12/30. This is the first moving-forward notice I can remember, and next week is jut around the corner.
