Tolan posted:So what should I be calling them out for? Idiotic exaggeration? If you feel you've been ripped off, I'm sure you know how to deal with it. Turning that into "[Onstad is a] lying scumbag thief who bilked people out of their money" is far more deserving of Your starting point seems to be "I must call goons out ITT". Why? Why should you call them out? Onstad vanished like a fart in the wind with people's money, and they're discussing it/venting their frustration. Like the rules say, if you have nothing to contribute then gently caress off. edit; Also, Onstad's behavior makes him look like "a lying scumbag thief who bilked people out of their money." Simply putting that obvious observation into words isn't exactly the height of gooniness. Happy Hippo fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Apr 11, 2011 |

Nobody cares if you preordered a book that never came out. If you've got a problem with Onstad or lost money take it up with him, don't poo poo up this thread. Achewood is a pretty popular strip so I'm going to leave this thread open for another little bit so people who want to actually discuss it can. If people don't want to discuss it the thread can be closed and shuffle off into the archives.

How, exactly, is discussing the creator of Achewood and issues surrounding sending an Achewood themed item of merchandise to a bunch of Achewood fans not an Achewood-related topic? Is it not Achewoody enough for the Achewood club? (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I suppose in an ideal world, people would quietly email Onstad, or hit up his twitter, and then post here the replies (if any) they got, to update the other fans about the results, without name calling or animosity whatsoever. I'd like to continue to know what happens with the unresolved orders (again, IF there's such a thing, and it seems there is) if only because the very same thing, with a bit of bad timing, could have happened to me. As cool as it is for Americans to be able to shrug off $14 for an unfulfilled order or whatever (and the time to deal with a refund and all that), for some of us the parity dollar-local money is killer. $14 is kind of serious business money for me, for example. Also I wonder if the creator of Achewood, the comic we discuss here, is just frankly very bad at PR/managing a business, or hates everyone, specially his fans. It's honest wondering!

Previously I'd just read Cornelius' blog, the other characters' are equally fantastic, although I've not attempted Lyle or Nice Pete's yet. Interesting to see different takes on the same situation and it's still quite incredible how well he captures each character's voice.Waterhaul posted:To just expand on this if the situation actually goes somewhere and people either find out how to get their money back or Onstad makes any follow up comments in regards to it feel free to post about it in the thread. On that note, the process for getting your cash back for visa is literally email Onstad, save and print copy of said email, wait 30 days for reply; if no reply contact card issuer and ask to file a visa dispute, money is returned. Believe there may be a 180 day time limit, but not 100% on that. Wootcannon fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Apr 12, 2011 |

Saddest thing about the comics end is we'll never found out how Ray will lose his ears or is Beef truly doomed to drive Molly off and die alone.

Ray will lose his ears and get new robotic ones. Despite trying his hardest, Beef will die surrounded by the people who love him, and Pat. Pat will continue being a jerk. Phillipe will still be five. Todd will do a bunch of cocaine, although not at Phillipe.

On the plus side, at least Onstad has plenty of hot new material about how fat his dog is. Too bad LieBot's Twitter never gets updated anymore.

On the minus side, I will never own a complete run of Achewood, like I can for Bloom County or Calvin and Hobbes.

That reminds me, has anybody actually heard anything stated about the future of the Dark Horse books? I would assume that they'd still be doing those, but has anything been said one way or the other?
