Rusty Onstad? Yeah, I had to get some penicillin for that once.

Also it's a Paranatural avatar and it's amazing and Paranatural is amazing, go read Paranatural. Nothing short of a steady update schedule and maybe several small miracles is going to make the characters sound anything like they used to. Cornelius and Ray tend to get it the worst, though, because Onstad just goes apeshit with the lingo.

For me it's indicative that Achewood just hasn't had anything interesting going on. After a new strip or should-be-expected disappointment people tend to post. We still love Achewood. We just want it to come back and BE back.

It's just hard to get excited about something that's barely managing monthly updates. If you just remember to check Achewood on the first of every month, you will have missed at most two updates, and even those will have been luke-warm at best. My only solace is that others will see the new posts on their control panel and be tricked into thinking that there was a new update. Mwa ha ha ha.

I don't know if anyone reads White Ninja, but that comic has gone on hiatus for about two months now. Not a lot of communication with fans either, so I keep thinking "Dude, what are you doing?! You're driving your fans away with no comics and no communication. Just look at how Onstad is loving up!" Anyone have any info on that one? I tried checking his forums, but its been invaded by spam-bots posting threads about whether you want your penis lengthened, girthened, or bedazzled.

In truth, we probably have said everything there is to say about Achewood, we're just waiting to say more when there IS more.

No idea what's going on with that either. Other than what its twitter feed next to the link to the new comic says.

Yeah, if the guy had just said , " I got alot of personal things that I have to work through, please be patient with me. I will return in a year." I would have been cool with that, and completely understood. It's all about communication!

I was never caught up in the whole Cookbook thing, but has anyone even approached him and point blank asked where peoples money went? So many people were rightly pissed that he had basically taken their money, but it didn't seem like anyone had heard anything at all on whether Onstad had addressed the issue at some point. Hell, if he had a book signing somewhere even close to me, I'd definitely wait in line just to ask him why he kept peoples money.

I think I went to college with a lot of people like Altimeter Tim. Also other than the fact I had to go back one comic to remember if this dude even had a name or not, this is probably the most amused I've been by an Achewood cartoon in a long time.

Pretty good strip, though man, I still can't help but feel like Beef's voice is mangled all to hell in the land of "trying too hard." Maybe it's me that's forgotten the voice.

I want to like this so hard because it seems like it'd be a funny strip if the pace of updating was greater than monthly. I feel like the once a month update style has to have a pretty amazing punchline each month or else the whole thing falls flat. The long-rear end multi-panel approach works when you're updating several times a week because even if one update isn't hilarious, you can still tell a story around it, but at this glacial pace you really can't drop a monthly comic that just kind of continues from last month without a good zinger or something.

One update a month is ok if you're doing one-shot gag strips, but Onstad believes that a creature known as the "Gopher Drinker" will steal his eyeballs if he doesn't do long, surreal storylines that don't go anywhere.

I'm not sure I like Cornelius being just "haha he's old." On the other hand I like orgasms. Otherwise I wouldn't.

Ray flipping the book to find some kind of trivia about Grover Cleveland to show off was great. I love his reaction to,"Maybe you're the guy who's going to give the world an orgasm," too.

I don't even care about the long delays anymore, updates like the latest make up for them. Ray's reaction to "Maybe you're the guy who's going to give the world an orgasm", and Beef's line in the last panel had me laughing hard enough that a coworker popped in to see what I was looking at.
