Aaaaaaaaaaand how does this relate to Achewood? :raise:
Sometimes when somebody devotes a lot of time and energy to something, like an artisan soda or a webcomic about melty lump people or a terrible LP, it does things to their brain. That drawing represents the Despair Monster. The same Despair Monster that caused Onstad's divorce and overly-wordy dialogue.

I had a dream last night that the latest Achewood was a full-blown physical Sunday paper devoted to Achewood. Blogs, new strips, a thing in the main. Life knew I was a reader and my copy simply arrived at my house.

But I'll take more Ramses.

You don't take Ramses. What you do is you hit the rear bumper of a car and then you receive Ramses.

Just pray he has got a fresh calzone back in that car and he does NOT have time to argue with some cop about why your body is over here and your head is over there so on and et cetera.

I utterly lack the knowledge needed to interpret this.

There's a monsterous goblin trapped in a small room with torn web comics on the wall. The goblin is tearing apart what I assume is Onstad's ex-wife. The whole thing should be pretty clear.

Alright, switch it up some more. Keep the goblin have him be theodor and make the robot be Onstad( current age as when he started the strip. Which is what...early 30s?)
Is it still cool with you guys that some robot is getting blasted?

Not one to speculate on the various issues of the Onstad, but that Goblins webcomic author is in the midst of a 2 month mental breakdown (preceded by a tweet about how cool it is to check out girls and tell his new wife how hot they are) that produced this:

Even Ramses getting his word on, although it's not really damaging in this case.

"Milk-eyed son of a slack tittied dog" isn't as good as "candy-rear end word-style hero" but still pretty good.

Also, apparently both Ramses and Ray think six hundred dollars is class money.

"We may all be part of a whole, but those who would wag their tongues to spite my Journey must wander the sands of my violence."

Overwritten modern Achewood or the appropriate inner-monologue for a seldom used character?

I thought it was pretty good but the dialogue could've been toned down juuuuust a little.

It's just a shame that Ramses has an internal monologue in this newest strip. DAMNIT ONSTAD GET YOUR CONTINUITY IN ORDER! It's like his divorce removed from him his ability to remember things he has laid out as alt text fact.

I am batting about .750 on getting that particular strip every time I hit "random" on achewood.com.

Achewood.com wants me to know that its inability to secure naked Meg White is the cause of its human suffering.

Looking at his most recent posts on twitter it sounds like Onstad might be going through renal failure? Or whatever azotemia is.
