Even then, brain is still having trouble perceiving: 1. Onstad basically stole from people. 2. It looks like he's gearing up to be back in business. 3. Therefore, wait and see to buy avatars? I'm being as judgmental as the next guy watching him start working again, but a warning not to do something that doesn't benefit him monetarily seems like a non sequitur.

If it's your image you're concerned about, how many people outside this thread even know about the whole Cookbook deal? It's not like having an Achewood avatar would identify you as a supporter of a con artist. And you aren't giving money to Onstad by buying an avatar on Something Awful, either.

From that blog entry, "I got night feet pretty bad and needed a mile." is one of my favorite sentences ever. It's almost nonsense yet it _precisely_ conveys exactly what it means to.

That whole blog post is greatly enhanced if you read it in a wise old narrator voice, like perhaps Morgan Freeman or Ian McKellan.

Goddamn I love it. Thanks for that old strip. I also liked 'teach a child to sing' which makes me think he intentionally hit a child, perhaps in the jumbles, while playing urban golf. *haha* Also: Just alcohol (takes a nip) also, poo poo, that everything about it is just great. nothing happened, there is no story, it's just a moment, perfect.

Achewood is literally the pinnacle of human artistic achievement so who cares if he stole from people? It was disposable income anyway. Ends justify the means y'all

You guys know who is so furious about his bad wife? Ron. I love the way the alt text is often able to add a further level of hilarity to the strip, another particular favorite of mine is this one - I can't even tell you why it does, but the alt text gets to me every goddamn time.

The first step is admitting you'd buy Hot Tub Brawls on DVD. Also, note that Ray is watching Best of Hot Tub Brawls. That implies a HTB series that's probably been running for decades.

I have a terrible confession to make. I have never read Achewood aside from the odd comic I've been linked to now and there. But there's seriously such as massive amount of comic, along with the blogs and I want to read it all in order and it is amazingly daunting. I wish I could set up a RSS feed that'd send me like, a comic or a blog post a day so I can take it all in, slowly. RSS feeds are only for new things though.

My favorite part of the Hot Tub Brawls strip has always been what I've perceived to be as a counterfeit DVD logo. It'd've been easy enough to just scrape one off the web, but there's something just off enough about that one that says "DVD-R bought in a gas station."Bloody Hedgehog posted:Pfft, Hot Tub Brawls is for poseurs.

You think that before you start, but once you get going you'll be hard pressed to stop. "One more stand alone," you'll tell yourself, but the next comic in the archive will the be start of a major arc. 45 minutes later, you'll think, "What a great storyline...I need some stand-alones to cleanse my pallet." And the cycle will continue.

Wow, that's not even part of an official arc, and starts right after this roughly. http://achewood.com/index.php?date=10012003 <-- awesome. The leadup to the comic you linked is great. edit: Also, Ray is a light brown American Curl cat who wears Versace glasses.
