It's a (sort of) Belgian beer.

A Stella Artois is a Belgian lager affectionately referred to as "Wife Beater" in the UK due to its comparatively high alcohol content (for a lager) when it was released. They have some pretty classy adverts, but basically the "wife beater" tag has stuck.

It's also often referred to as "crispy Stellas" by Achewood fans, since that comic used the phrase on at least one occasion, and probably several more.

I'm pretty sure this is for no other reason than it is imported. choobs fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Mar 10, 2011 |

Except my wife, she knows better *cracks knuckles*

I thought it was called wifebeater for the same reason why certain shirts are called wifebeater: A Streetcar Named Desire.

The image of a bunch of chavs having some sort of Tenessee Williams book club is strangely charming, all drinking White Lightning and reading The Glass Menagerie while occasionally pausing from to menace passersby.

Your mama is so hot, old people retire and move to her. Your mama's teeth are so straight, they make yours look gay. Your mama is so nice, the mafia left a whole pony in her bed, with a bow. Your mama is so understanding, she let you go to art school. Your mama goes to bed at such a reasonable hour, she is always perfectly rested.

The only enjoyment I've gotten from Achewood lately has been telling my friends it updated and then laughing at their dissapointment. At least it's only another week or so 'til the next "I'm back, honest!" comic.

There are exactly four things that Google suggests to me when I type in the words chris onstead. chris onstad twitter chris onstad depression chris onstad hiatus chris onstad portland in that order. I imagine them as a story web where every point connects to every other point. edit: like this

Recently I've been trying to learn Illustrator and had the notion to put together an elaborate Achewood parody about Onstad's creative slump as practice. I quickly realised that I'm nowhere near funny enough so just finished off this little sequence and called it quits.

Maybe if you keep it up it'll shame Onstad into working more.

All jokes and venting and stuff aside, I would just really enjoy reading a new Achewood comic strip, and it's always disappointing to check and not see a new one. I hope we get another strip at some point soon.
