There is also a second, 40 page chapbook. More doodles and random thoughts, mostly about how awful medical dramas are. They are pretty awful if you think about it.

They are terrible, and a terrible peek into his life. However, my wife is just as stupid when it comes to toilet paper and no explanation of the situation can correct that.

So wait, we get the High School storyline which goes on for a bit, and then there is a hiatus in which goons complain about the lack of updates. (And rightfully so.) Then Onstad starts to update again, releases several large and entertaining Fanflow updates and yet goons are STILL complaining because "RAAARGGGH FINISH THE STORY, MY PRECIOUS CONTINUITY!!!" It's a miracle Onstad even consider posted on SA in the first place.

Similarly I'm often not seeing the characters as "oh hey Roast Beef THE CAT, isn't it funny that A CAT is being depressed", it's just "oh hey Roast Beef and Ray are driving down a highway talking about asleep-style".

It is occasionally easy to forget that Achewood is ostensibly about a bunch of cats and a couple of bears.

I always thought of them as dogs at first, even when Onstad specifically said they were cats I looked at them and was like "no way". They look so much like dogs you guys. So much!

I'm pretty sure the bears are still stuffed bears, isn't the whole point supposed to be they're cats and stuffed toys and a drug addicted squirrel?

The funds at least seem a germane issue! (i learned that word at talk like a dick school) Putting out a tip jar and actually telling the fans what's wrong and what he needs the money for are two totally different things. If Onstad published a thing on the achewood front page saying that he needs money because his baby needs a cowlick replacement operation post haste or something, I'd fling money furiously at him to try to fix it. But just putting out a sign saying "Hey, you should donate maybe why not" doesn't seem too... desperate.

Technique posted:To be fair, "lying on the floor being depressed" is basically Beef's hobby. The first time I saw him doing that I thought 'whoa he's in a bad way.' Then I thought wait, he's a cat. My cats aren't depressed and they do that all the time.

And don't say "Because they come up to me all happy-looking, purr and try to get me to pet them" because that may be the one shining moment of glorious happiness in their miserable, depressed, horrible lives! Wow, this started out as a joke and now I want to hug my kitty.
