Chris, thanks for making my birthday more special by starting Achewood on Oct. 1st. :3:

For anyone that was curious about my Cookbook 2 inquiry, turns out there was some mishap/delay in the printing and they won't be shipping until mid-November. Bummer.

A delay? On a date Achewood related? UNTHINKABLE!

I kid, I kid 'cause I love. Probably the publisher's fault, too.

VVVV Nothing will top beer can chicken for me :colbert:

Unavoidable EDIT:

No, I'm just an asshat who wishes his favorite comic would be updated a bit more often. The achewood twitter, which I guess everyone should follow, offers a bit of light:

Achewood twitter posted:

Rumors of my death greatly exaggerated. Week of migraines and rain. New Achewood strip up at long last.

Ah, I found the Bill Watterson quote I was thinking of when I made that question: (emphasis mine)

Bill Watterson posted:

(on talking about hesitating to take sabbaticals) Reruns are tedious, and after several months of them, there is always the risk that readers will break their habit of reading the strip and discover that they don't miss it.

Though I'm sure we could start a huge argument about the quantity vs. quality of Achewood, all that has been said before. I just wondered, seeing even this thread was also nearly dying. This (wanting more comics) is just the opinion of an asinine man (me).

I wonder if Philippe couldn't find a King-Chochacho-like medallion and just grabbed the next best thing that he could find, or if the cross reflects his deep personal beliefs. I like the idea that Ray has spares of his sunglasses all over the house, though.

It's a game where the next level comes out intermittently and significantly less so since the game started advertising the DLC which has over 700 levels which is apparently where the real effort goes.

hahahahahaha. The DLC doesn't get any effort either, UNTIL you run out of points. Then a single new thing comes out and you pay for more points, thinking it'll be worth it this time, but it was just that one single thing.

gently caress, you know, I loooooove to complain about the irregular schedule, but gently caress me if this strip didn't make me laugh like classic Achewood always did. I'm sorry I've been a virtual jerk to you, Mr. Onstad. I'm going to sign back up for another month of Achewood subscriber love, right this instant. I hope you use the money for some drat fine food.

I know. I was affirming the intensity of the sentiment.

You also said you hoped it'd lead somewhere good, when in all likelihood it won't, because it's a gently caress you friday. That was kind of his point.

(prove me wrong, Onstad. Prove me wrong.)

VVVVVVVVVVVVV EDIT: That's interesting, because as I understood it, I thought you were thinking it'd be part of the continuity-arc, which was very unlikely. The way you word it NOW is better I guess. Let's hug and call it a day. VVVVVVVVVVVVVV

If we're being all about realism up in this bitch about cartoon cats, then I want to know how they got the manufacture/handling/shipping assets and personnel ready to create all the things Philippe invented for the catalogs, or if T is just straight up conning that stupid people who ordered out of their money. :colbert:

Speaking of Philippe and women, let's discuss just what happened in this strip.

(Later on, when Vlad finds Philippe's phone in his pants, is that the first appearance of his mom?)

EDIT: gently caress! Roboooooooooot!! :argh:

But I used waffleimages and everything :colbert:

Another Edit: on the 'Will you marry me, Frances?' strip, I hadn't noticed how Philippe imagines himself chubbier after some years of married life. That's neat. Did you notice how some TP was added to his hand in the 'Wipe my rear end' panel? Genius all around.

I had just had a couple of loaded tequilas with my lunch a bit ago (I'm housesitting on my own and bored, so what) so I was more than slightly drunk when I started reading that strip.

While reading it, I completely sobered up and ended up more than a little scared.

Quick Onstad! Make a comic where Lyle pukes on Todd before you lose this one reader! *Cracks whip for good measure*

Honestly, the only explanation we've come up with for "30'ed" so far is that people in their middle life crisis smoke more weed? C'mon, goons, we're better than that :colbert:

Whatever he's doing, I just hope Onstad never reads the comments in assetbar. At least not the ones from the latest comic, dear god. It's one thing to hear people whine about your update schedule, but what would it feel like to learn your fanbase is ...well, like the dudes at assetbar are. Seriously. :smith:

People always bitch when there is a delay, yet when the strip finally comes out, it's flooded by a sea of praise, which is usually spiked with a few 'Achewood just aint as good as it used to be, guys."

Then there is a delay and people start bitching, strip is updated, repeat ad nauseam.

So let's close the thread then? I mean, you have it all figured out, here. (minus the occasional post by Onstad, I guess)

EDIT: HAhaha, see. VVVVVVVVVVVV THIS VVVVVVVVVVVVVV is what this thread is all about to me. gently caress assetbar for Achewood discussion, goons is where it's at.

Tomorrow's recipe is chicken

There was a chicken recipe after all: Nice Pete's, so, if based on that- we say that the length of the wait is proportional to the awesomeness of the result, the next strips should be of a radiance only compared to the likes of the Great Outdoor Fight.

Word. I'd be completely down if Onstad came about and out and out flatly told us 'I've been partying it up and down all night with my family instead of working in the art form that supports me and my family' because hey, that's what rock stars do. It is expected of them. Why would we expect anything different?

What I'm saying is, we should be cool with Onstad taking one or two years in between ~~albums~~ strips.

Seriously, can someone check if he already posted a BAN ME or something? THAT at least we can know.

I think what makes it worse is the donate link at the top of the page.

Maybe there's a donation counter to be filled before the strip resumes and we haven't seen it because every single one of us has Adblock installed and it's been blocked everytime. It's a magical realism webcomic, afterall!

Wolfsheim posted:

Sure, its a tiny little black-and-white strip, but the writing is gold. You can't force something like "MY WHOLE LIFE I BEEN SOCIETY'S STARED-AT MAN"

I tell you, we should wait more. Any mainstream band takes longer than this in between albums, and their writing isn't half as good as Achewood's.
