The really ridiculous part is the idea that Ray never sent an all caps comic sans email.

I don't understand you people who feel like this latest strip is outside of the Achewood norm, "too easy", or so on. It's like it's been so long since new content has rolled out you have a skewed view of the past catalog. This is vintage no-plot one-off Achewood.

I love no-plot and one-offs, but I've heard enough Justin Bieber jokes for one lifetime. And the phrase "starboard nut," beautiful though it is, isn't enough to make a bunch of dated references funny. I guess his brain problems kept him too distracted to notice that pop culture is full up on autotune and Glenn Beck jokes at this point. This isn't like a "DEAR ONSTAD REFUND MY PAGEVIEWS IMMEDIATELY" thing - the next comic will be better, I hope. But stale jokes don't get funnier just because they're the only jokes we've had in a while.

The difference is that no-plot one-off Achewood used to be Klaus Nomi homages, illustrations of Emeril and George Michael, a clipart motorcycle clearing Mount Everest, or two men fighting nude in a jacuzzi.Deathlove posted:Lyle's calligraphy is well-known and respected. stupid ugly retard posted:The really ridiculous part is the idea that Ray never sent an all caps comic sans email. Pardon me for interrupting in a manner befitting Kanye West, a man who Forbes will soon refer to as "a rapper with more ego than decorum", but you two wouldn't be saying these things were if these characters were just differently-drawn mouthpieces for the same brand of low-hanging ball jokes too hackneyed to conceal beneath the Dixie cup of verbosity, as well as the KY-Jellylike topical humor currently on spread. I'm just waiting for #Achewood to trend after the tortellini-fueled centaurs on MTV's Jersey Shore t-shirt time into "Here Comes a Special Boy" ringers.

That is, if they could actually order some ringer shirts from the Achewood shop.

Man I don't know what you other jerks are talking about the new strip is amazing. Also, I bet we'd see the end of ad banners on SA forever if they went back to allowing you to pay to ban other users. My wallet itches some days.

The real question should be who put poor Philippe in that Bieber wig? I dunno if it's more worrying that he had it or if one of the grown-ups had it. What's he wearing in the first panel, anyway? Looks like a bucket hat with an attached mullet.

Has anyone got a link to the start of the arc when Philippe goes home and it's not the same? I don't know what to search for on the actual site. edit: nevermind, I found it.

So to anyone who has made the beercan chicken recipe, a question: Would using a smaller bird complicate things?

I used to love achewood, I really did. I loved it so much. Then Roast Beef died in that machine and it started moving more and more towards paid content and I gave up. It was too emotionally exhausting. I just went to the site and it appears there is no longer a shop. Has there been any word of anthologies being published for around that time/later?

The strips are now being released in hardcover books by Dark Horse comics, there have been three so far (The Great Outdoor Fight; Worst Song, Played on Ugliest Guitar; and A Home For Scared People). The hardcovers include commentary on each strip by Onstad, the alt text, as well as in-character interviews/articles and background historys. They're far superior to the old collections but they do take time to come out.

I didn't see autotune jokes being criticized when they were being applied to prison toilets.

I wish Mr. Onstad only the best of luck in dealing with brain problems, and hope that we see more cartoon cats in the near future.

So I guess this chapbook thing is apparently working out for Onstad since those are getting updates but the strip isn't? I don't know what it is that has me to reticent to subscribe, given that I've bought 4 posters, 3 shirts, the cookbook, the Nice Todd books, two pint glasses (which are not dishwasher safe by the way), so I'm no stranger to shoveling cash towards Onstad. But I have absolutely no desire to pay to read a chapbook. Sorry for bumping this, I'm sure half of you just opened achewood hoping there was a  NEW STRIPbut there isn't one.

Read the offending strip. It's funny. The Glenn Beck joke felt phoned in, but that description of Justin Bieber sits well with me. edit: And as someone with "brain problem," I can appreciate Onstad's position and can give him a break for not updating while he deals with it. bloodychill fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Jan 20, 2011 |

So he's been spending time making this temporarily free (and horrid) 'chapbook' instead of comics? I think it might be time to throw in the towel...

I like the chapbook. Any free Achewood content is more free content than I'd have if there were no Achewood. I don't see why people are displeased.

He's not "making" the chapbook.... I get the feeling that, like most artist/writers, he has a notebook on him at all time that he scribbles in when in line, waiting, eating out, around the house when an idea strikes... he posts 'em to his fanflow just as feels like it. It's not like time is being taken away from the strip for these, I get the feeling he's creating these chapbooks no matter what.
