That are right now headed silent down the highway
And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

Oh, I'm taking Ray's advice
'Cause you know that Ray is wise
About important stuff
Like alcohol and drugs... and love

During Occupy Wall Street, there was achewood graffiti on a door:
In the minds of the main mattering men, the speed up before the slow down adds to the art of the artifice.

Or is it the slow down before the speed up? Whatever

Grave? Shovel! Let's go.

Teodor always struck me as the most inserted of the self insert characters.

There's lots of Onstad in everyone in the strip but Teodor always seemed the most grounded in reality to me. It's sorta hard to explain but if Beef is one end of Onstad's emotions, and Ray is the manic opposite than Teodor is kinda the hapless fuckup middle zone that men of a certain age and background wallow in

Also as an alcoholic in recovery, the description of Teodor's bender and shutdown in Cookbook 2 is 100% a thing that Onstad did. Between that and Ray's bottoming out in the Pho parking lot I saw a lot of similarities in my Real Life poo poo.

I don't think that it's an accident that Onstad's middle name is Todd.

A second cookbook and now new Achewood strips? Jesus Christ literally nobody could have predicted these things happening, somebody check on the temperature of Hell. Also they redesigned the site and it links to blogs that were published on the same day as strips! That's a HUGE improvement!

Suppose that explains why the site was down earlier. Will probably sign up for a few months in a few months, should also probably pick up the cookbook

I will gamble a stamp. If Onstad shits the bed with the lights on, well, in a couple of months I will feel I compensated the man for the joy his work has brought me on the road to the grave.

I am cautiously encouraged by the initial content. Things have changed, yet others have not.

Incredible miss to not have a $6 tier (a cute amount of money), a $7 tier (never was anyone promised as much as that seven dollars) or a $600 tier (class money, and surely some whale would soak that for a few months).

(I did it at $14, like a sucker)

I would sacrifice adblockers in an instant if I knew they were responsible for the death of free, independent internet art (especially webcomics). It's a miracle MSPA stayed profitable for that long before Viz Media stepped in and Viz'd all over it. Will definitely be paying for this

It is a foregone conclusion that I will give Onstad a bit of my cash shortly, but I am curious regardless.

How’re the new strips?

Yes, but they'll be doled out weekly over the next several months. Good plan, as he's a bit of a ditherer.
