GigaPeon posted:Remember to stick around for Philippe and the Transfer Station. It’s amazing how often clicking a link to one Achewood strip has sent me on an afternoon of reading the archives. The one-offs always leave me wanting another until I hit an arc and a lot of the arcs pre-2010 are impossible to stop reading.

It’s nice to see that Onstad can still write without “using vodka to move [his] pen” as he said. The characters voices feel natural compared to 2016 when things felt weird and unnatural and overly flowery.

We have not gotten another GOF, but that may be the uttermost peak; we have, however, had plenty of "good times." I think if these comics were on the website instead of Patreon people would have just thought "hey! he's back in form!"

I don't think Teodor was hallucinating up until falling and bashing his head. The Tina stuff was real, she is pretty clearly working out of an abandoned advertising office if you look back. The Elon stuff was dissociative but brought on by stress and the head trauma he takes when he falls. Unfortunately this adds up to looking pretty bad to the outside observer.

I think some of it had to be real because there were scenes where it was just Tina. Tina was also probably overplaying the success and scope of her company and then Teodor's own megalomania ramped it up from there.

I read the Elon stuff as the head trauma version of Ray's six-asses-scented adventure on the streets of Berlin, with the caveat that that is the kind of shenanigan you might expect Ray to be involved in but not T As an aside the internet delivered to me a png so finely calibrated to my tastes it's a wonder I ain't commission it.

istewart posted:Catching up on the thread, this was darkly humorous given today's strip. I kinda didn't want to be right :P My thinking is that the Tina stuff was definitely real. The Elon stuff might have been a post-concussion hallucination, but it'd be some good chuckles if an epilogue strip showed Teodor returning home and finding money in his bank account. (It'd explain why he's getting text messages again, and the Chekov's gun of "pay rent in 3 days or Lyle throws out your poo poo" hasn't been fired yet.) Teodor is getting screwed by a well-meaning, rational Ray. For sure, he partly brought it on himself, but it doesn't make it any less of a screw job.

I feel like in the modern world of webcomics having a self-sustaining walled garden is probably a better bet than throwing your doors open to the wind and hoping people buy merch.

Yea, I would genuinely keep subscribing in perpetuity even if he put everything on the public site just as a thank you for how much joy the strip has given me over the years, but I know that that in that I am a bit of an outlier.

It would make sense if he started migrating stuff out in like, three years from when he got started. I would not feel Betrayed as a customer. Releasing the Winnie the Pooh and Ramathusra Ron stuff would also validate that Yes, Achewood Is Actually Back to the man on the street. Pay a dollar to see more.

Patreon is just not formatted as well as the Achewood main site for comics reading, even with all the tags to try to filter things. I also wish Patreon had a way to gift subscriptions to other people but it's not currently officially supported and you have to do convoluted things like sending your recipient a prepaid debit card so they can buy it themselves instead.

I'm listening to the Rude Tales of Magic Patreon, where they do behind the scenes discussion for their live play D&D podcast. in one episode they talk a (very) little about a Great Outdoor Fight reference in one show and also how important Achewood is to most of the cast, since a lot of them are artists. but mostly I wanted to complain about trying to navigate to older posts. the Patreon app is dogshit.
