A personal note: This book was originally intended for release in 2010, but the whisker's width of a near-fatal ending to the "drinking chapter" of my life led to its agonizing and haunting postponement. Its appearance here, and at this level of quality, is a deeply healing personal victory. If you were disappointed by the slow-motion crash-and-burn of the first attempted release, I sincerely apologize. But you will like this version much, much better, as I no longer use vodka to move my pen around

Hey this is loving great. I'm in recovery too, and it's awesome he can write that and view it as catharsis.

I get the feeling that the sustained productive period of Achewood was fueled by the liquor, and that Onstad can't run that rocket dry except irregularly

I think he can, but is convinced he can't. A common thing among creative alcoholics or drug addicts I've heard. At any rate he's had more important poo poo to figure out than cartoon cats for awhile.

Also those are some expensive as hell underpants, I imagine I could probably get a years worth of underpants at Target or Wal-Mart for like half of that price, in fact just checked on Amazon and a 9 pack of Hanes tighty whiteys is $16.47(so about $1.83 a pair), so for the 40.5 packs you would need for 365 pairs comes out to about 659 bucks before taxes

Have heavy doubts that underwear is good enough to justify the price, in fact taking into account inflation that 2.99 price is probably closer to 4.99 or even 5.99 a pair in 2022 money

Admittedly he's probably just using a wad of Ray's money for that shopping trip so it doesn't really matter since Ray has effectively unlimited money* and Ray probably spends triple that amount at minimum on his Speedos

*which really highlights just how much of a loser Teodore(and to a lesser degree Lyle and any other character in the strip shown to regularly have money issues) is considering how easy it is to trick and fleece Ray out of his money, especially if you're a friend of his

These are special underpants without a brain teaser flap, so it's easier to fish your worm out of them. Worth the extra money to not spend your whole life in the prision of your own underwear like a wackjob

Doing some tests; The upscaler that comes with Stable Diffusion is a good jumping off point for 2022 resolution Achewood art - still some tidying up on edges and font replacement, but its quicker than redoing the whole thing with pen curves.
