Some of the strips are links, too, that the alt text references. Most of those links have been dead for years, but still.

Hopefully you/someone can combine them because tabbing between an image viewer and alt_text.txt would suck hard. I'm assuming this isn't  since the main comic is free.

I'm building a mirror of my own of the entire achewood archive and even the blogs. In case the lights are turned off I will be in my happy spot with all alt text preserved and whatnot.

I still think that the Nice Pete story about him and Rachel Ray is one of the most brilliant things I've ever read. EDIT: Makes me wonder why Onstad doesn't just write a damned Achewood book. Lets face it: His art has never been the greatest, aside from some few aesthetically brilliant moments mostly contained in Cartilage Head arcs. What we want mostly are the ridiculous situations and the insane dialogue between Beef and Ray. We already know how everyone looks and how they'll most likely be positioned, so just write a danged book Onstad. DANG. Loving Life Partner fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Nov 22, 2012 |

The emotions and facial expressions in the comics is what really sells the jokes for me a lot of the time. Best examples being pretty much the entire The Party arch, or when Ray was going around stoned.

I'd never knock the art in achewood, it's beautiful in it's simplicity (except for when it's not simple, then it's just beautiful.) It seems to me though that writing is Onstad's real passion. I mean how many panels either end or consist entirely of long paragraphs of a character's writing? If it means more arguments about if McDonald's can make a decent latte I'd be all for a transition.

Fruits of the sea posted:I always imagined Cornelius as Alistaire Cooke. He was a classy guy. Agreed and it seems like, on returning to the character, he opted instead for this Wodehousian frippery via senile dementia take, which hollowed Cornelius out entirely. Everyone else was neeeeeearly on key, but Cornelius just sounds so unnatural now. I mean, he did sound unnatural, however many months ago its been since he last updated.

Personally, i'd rather see an Achewood animated series on Adult Swim than a book. Sam Jackson as Ray.

If it got the "China, IL" treatment, it would turn into something completely different, with over the top plot lines and Superjail style shenanigans instead of dialogue between characters and subtle weird humor.

I can't imagine Achewood as anything other than a comic strip. I feel like in any other medium it would either be boring or hosed all to hell.

I dunno. I think, correctly done, it could own the Adult Swim lineup. Sadly, I don't think Der Önstadt has the give-a-gently caress left to make that happen, and nobody else could truly do it correctly.

Honestly, it wouldn't have to be Onstad as long as the writer understood why Achewood was funny in the first place. The style of humor is more important than how well-executed it is in my opinion.

Yeah, I don't think so much. Ray and Beef chat is practically a form of art. Then there's his portrayal of Philippe, which is just amazing, the Friday Facts stuff is great. I feel like any attempt by someone else would be some dumb Adult Swim monkey cheese stuff on the worst level.

Loving Life Partner posted:I feel like any attempt by someone else would be some dumb Adult Swim monkey cheese stuff on the worst level. Which is my point. Achewood has really character-driven humor; the humor isn't really from the weird situations themselves, it's from how the characters act in them. If a writer understood that and was otherwise pretty competent, I could see it working.

I don't even care about like plots and such, just give me Roy and Beef talking about whatever Onstad's got on his mind each week. Admittedly this would be crushing depression but that's okay too.

Juche Couture posted:This is one of the most bizarre statements I have ever read about comedy. I probably worked that kinda badly. My point was that as long as they don't change the feel of it too much from the comic, they don't necessarily have to do it as well as Onstad did at the top of his game for it to turn out okay. Hope that clears it up a bit.

Wasn't Shmorky in talks with Onstad to do something? I thought I remembered him saying he was talking to him, but couldn't say much else about it. It must've fallen through at this point, but at least we have this.
