Uglier on the inside.

I would pay a decent amount for an enlarged version of the "HUSH YE TO A MAN" and "A CHIP GOLD AND TRUE" panels.

He was your Elvis, and when your Elvis dies, so does the private lie that someday you will be young once again, and feel at capricious intervals the weightlessness of a joy that is unchecked by the injuries of experience and failure.

In other words, Achewood is a metaphor for itself.

So can his artisanal sodas be bought online? I'm conflicted by his statement that he created pompous fizz water to have something to drink with his expensive meals and the fact that they actually sound like they might be good.

Even if they are, why would you give him money over the Internet, given the very real chance he'll just gently caress off with it?

Hahaha man nerds mad about 15 dollars they spent on the internet is such an insanely huge thing but I always forget how weird people are about it. All these people literally believe that some guy loving up and doing a bad job selling a thing is so awful and fraudulent that they're going to hold on to it for the rest of eternity. I wonder how you guys would have reacted to John Campbell's kickstarter.

A guy sold a thing and then didn't deliver and then pretended like it didn't happen. I mean, goons ordered the product, so obviously we're all a bunch of big nerdbabies for expecting anything for our money, but isn't that the kind of thing people go to jail for? I could have sworn there was a law about that.

Yea you lost $15 half a decade ago. Surely this unending hate is justified, you could have bought like two and a half sandwiches with that money.

I don't know if anyone hates the guy, I think it's mostly a reaction to the idea of giving him more money. But, no, I mean goons are fat lol sandwiches

if you were married and your wife stole 15 dollars from you 5 years ago would you still bring it up at every single opportunity and whine about it for hours at dinner at a restaurant or at the movies or any other place you were spending money or is this kind of weird obsession reserved for webcomic artists on the internet

Hahahaha married to the guy we ordered a thing from on the internet. That's problematic.

Is that what people are saying? I think people believe he got super depressed and didn't deliver and then just had no financial incentive to actually go back and write the books or have them printed or acknowledge that he took money for a thing he didn't deliver on.

its the fact that he brushed it under the rug and did nothing to make it right that pisses people off. he himself made a nice windfall from it, its not like he only stole $15. dude stole at least a few grand in people's money, and got away with it scot free, and then had the balls to throw the donation poo poo up on his website lol

It doesn't matter if it's an intentional plot or just being a lazy sack of poo poo. Fraud is fraud is fraud.

Also please tell me you're going to defend John Campbell's bullshit stunt, that would be amazing.
