Onstad's instagram just informed me that his baby is now 14, and I am an old old man.

I wonder if the kid knows how many people in the world have a snapshot of the first year of his life via onstad’s embarrassingly portland soaked baby blog

God, could Chris not take like one or two days away from air frying poo poo to give us some Achewood? Biweekly, monthly...something?

back when it was "oh no i'm totally making more achewoods" those long stretches between strips were annoying, but it's fine for someone to say "actually i'm done making this comic strip. thanks for reading"

Onstadt 100% comes off as the kind of guy who would leave money on the table because he can’t handle the emotional labor of being defined by Achewood for the rest of his life.

Like if he ever accidentally thinks about the cookbook he just gets a nosebleed and blacks out.

Téodór, what does it mean that Onstad has depression?

It means he has trouble doing things like marketing his work.

I know a lot of people consider the Nice Pete / Teodor storyline to be pretty much the end of Achewood, but there's actually a lot I like about it.

I kind of consider Philippe's return home to be the End of Achewood and anything after that is like watching the deleted scenes, alternate cuts and outtakes immediately after you finish the movie

I've heard that idea from a few places and yeah, as others here have said, there is good stuff to be had beyond that arc, but it also feels like the perfect ending that he didn't plan on writing.

I'd also go so far as to say the unofficial end is where the verbatim and thoroughly stage-blocked transcripts for the ohnorobot search engine taper off. Even those of us that were reading in real time fifteen or so years ago rely on that to refresh our memories and pinpoint quotes, for the most part.

The Nice Pete panel I quoted earlier wasn't found by a text search for "wrestling" or "win;" I knew it was in one of the last arcs and I had to page through it to find it.

As far as stinks go, Teodor's "Jesus Christ! Some guy's crappin' out a land salmon in there!" ranks high for me.

and the next page has some of the best back and forth between him and Ray of the latter years.
