I've read the comic archives multiple times through, but decided to read the blogs for the first time recently and those are great. They really make me agree with the people in here who would really like a prose Achewood novel. I especially love when the blogs will overlap on each other, like Teodor and Cornelius's cooking show.

Gusano Rojo really should have worked that comic into their advertising. There are people in this world who would stand in line for a chance to buy an embalmy mezcal that is guaranteed to be "the stiff coal, a real ankle drunk." And the appeal of holding something the cops will wrestle you for, well, that's just undeniable. Sales would go through the goddamn roof.

I've started a re-read from scratch, just because I haven't done it in years. I forgot how many weird/funny gags are in the first dozen or so strips. Lie-Bot excitedly waking up Mr. Bear to see Flava Flav and his blinking tooth for instance.

I grabbed the first cookbook from the honor store. Weirdly, I think what I'm getting the most use out of is the omelet recipe.

I feel like offering up all his old paid content on an honour system shop may be some form of attempted penance for the Cookbook II fiasco.

Okay was good talking about Achewood but with this starting again and the webcomic pretty much dead I'm gonna unmark this thread. Shine on your crazy diamonds I hope we meet again when he starts writing a book or something. Time to hop into my own personal Volvo Of Dispair.

Speaking of that actual comic, that I just read today in my first re-read in years; the cats are so awkward when they're introduced. You can tell Onstad kinda wanted to make them throwaways, but then Ray just keeps showing up and having funny things happen, and then of course, Roastbeef's golden tongue starts spewing classic line after classic line. Also I totally forgot about this comic:  I remember showing it to a friend of mine years and years ago and she said it almost made her cry, I kinda get it now

Well, since we'll never see Achewood again, what are some stories you guys would have liked to have seen? I would have liked to have seen an arc where Teodor transitions away from the house and comes into his own (instead of whatever the gently caress was going on inside that van). This leaves the house with a need for another room mate, which would obviously be filled by Lie-Bot. I would have liked seeing Nice Pete kill Pat (and Pat going to heaven, a la Roast Beef's constant visits). Maybe see a response from Pete when Pat returns to Earth. I would have liked another pull-a-prank-on-Phillipe-on-his-birthday strip, where he ages to age 6 (since the whole returning home story arc). What are on some of your wishlists?

More Lie Bot and Vlad, they deserve their own storyline. More steaks and crispy stellas.

I wanted some resolution to the Cornelius/Polly storyline. It ended abruptly and Polly was mentioned only once after that. Also this has always been one of the most profoundly depressing Achewood strips, and there wasn't any doubt in my mind that it was due to Onstad's circumstances, but I only just now realized Rollersnake fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Jan 16, 2013 |

I wouldn't really call it "disappearing from the strip" as this date is less than twenty strips from when everyone disappeared

I would just like to see an actual end. I loved Achewood and have been reading for years. I wish it was still going but if it had to end I would rather have had an actual ending. Anything would've been better than the "start a storyline and then just kind of quit the strip halfway through" that happened.

Did we ever figure out who ate Ray's nachos? I forget. I really figured that Onstad would show up in the Hamlet CYOA book that was on Kickstarter. It was a cavalcade of online comics and his absence hurts a bit.

What the hell does Pat even do for a living? He's the only member of the main cast who's never had a clearly defined job (beyond acting as Vlad's sandwich slave for an undefined length of time). And before he met Rod he had to bring in money somehow, because Nice Pete is more of a hobbyist than a career man and his hobbies only pay dividends in screams. Also, after reading the cookbook I learned that Philippe really is full-blooded French and grew up in Bordeaux. Wonder what made his parents (or maybe just his mom) move to the States and shrug him off on a house full of weirdos.
