Amateur Sketch posted:Also, the multiple pictures of "Phillipe: Age 5" are pretty creepy. There is a disturbing amount of complexity behind Phillipe being 5. It is funny that they all look like Phillipe did in the early days, with a slightly more exaggerated :3 mouth and line eyes. See, he does age.

Rodney the Piper posted:I don't mean the Archives, but this. That page pretty much answers it. quote:Consisting of seventy-six mixed format installments, this was the only subscription-based Achewood content ever offered. These pieces appeared regularly at Serializer between 2002-2004. Basically it was a sort of protofanflow from years ago. I don't think it's available on the regular Fanflow now, though.

bloodychill posted:The thing is, if T wants to explore his sexuality, it'd be nice if it wasn't in the back of a sociopath's van with an elderly man's 10 inch dick. Yeah, I think this is what some people are reacting poorly to. It's not so much him experimenting (I doubt that many people were angry about him and Hiram the Blacksmith), it's that gay experimentation is appearing as an element of horror here.

poor and weird posted:You guys do remember that Nathan gave a guy a handie in the middle of a Denny's, was completely unfazed when he saw Teodor bruised and bleeding in the back of a van, and then immediately began coercing him into performing oral sex when he woke up right? This isn't just "two normal guys thrown into a situation". Forget it Jake, it's Goontown.

I am a recent Achewood convert and have no idea what you're talking about.

I think it's probably nothing new to him. I seem to recall he briefly hung out at the unofficial Achewood forum years ago but they scared him off. Actually, I just checked to see if it was still alive (it is), and found this, which explains more history than I knew. Assuming it's accurate. quote:Back in 2003, when the world was new, there was a message board called Dumbrella. On this board was an Achewood fora, and Onstad himself was the moderator. The board regulars - including myself and some others who are still active here - became friends and started occasionally drifting off-topic. (OK, more than occasionally.) Additionally, while we were all drawn together by a mutual love of Achewood, we more often than not disagreed (and still usually do) about which strips were good, and which ones were "meh." Onstad, working hard on launching his career as an artist (the comic was not quite two years old at the time), abruptly and unceremoniously decided to close down the board. Our Fearless Leader, Jough, generously volunteered to host a new board, and I was elected co-admin. We lived in relative peace and harmony until four years later, when Onstad decided to start AssetBar. We, the fans who have been there buying t-shirts and hoodies from the beginning, felt betrayed. And we passed that bitterness and betrayal on to you, the AssetBar user! I'm not actually linking to the forum because even two pages into the thread I pulled this from they're sounding like a bunch of bitter dicks and no one should read it. also you can't have "a fora" goddammit

I kinda hate to say it because I'm sure the last thing he needs is a sudden surge of bandwidth costs, but I hope someone has archived all the strips just in case poo poo really goes south.

He should pull a Berke Breathed and make a new comic which over time gradually starts involving all the characters of his old comic.

Van Dis posted:When Erica Campbell quit porn she wrote a lengthy goodbye explaining her rationale and offered refunds to subscribing members of her fansite. Onstad could learn a thing or two about class from porn stars. Erica Campbell did it because she found Jesus. I do not recommend Onstad find Jesus.

Darthemed posted:Well, seems it's up to some enterprising goon to archive the Achewood fanflow material before it disappears, because like hell is Onstad going to release it in a collected format the way he did with the blogs. Someone please do this. It's dumb that they tell you the stuff's going offline at the same time that they stop you from being able to catch it before it's gone. I wonder how bad Onstad's panicking right now given he said the Assetbar was paying for his mortgage.

The stuff about the store doesn't make a lot of sense. People don't have the discretionary income for a t-shirt, but they have enough to donate for nothing, or pay for commissions? Not to mention the fact that plenty of other webcomics and small websites continue to support themselves through merchandise, even in the recession. I wonder if Achewood's audience is smaller than other webcomics or if he just had a lovely deal on the margins for his shirts.

SebAndSeb posted:Oh wow, I just went and googled the dark horse books and it looks like I can get all three with overseas postage for under $45 at the moment, seems like a pretty good deal! One covers the Great Outdoor Fight, as has been said, and the two chronological ones only get up to this strip.

It's worth remembering what the Simpsons sounded like during the Tracey Ullman days, which this is sort of comparable to. Note how it's stiff and slow and Homer sounds wrong. Also it's not very funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V51kjyVY5bo

Just Offscreen posted:It would seem to me that the comic previous is where he stopped- who knows how long it had been sitting on his hard drive. This seems fresh out of the oven though. This one was at least being worked on in April, so it's not exactly fresh.

Fallom posted:I'm convinced at this point that most complaints about characters "losing their voice" are due to people having faulty memory: The most recent strip doesn't sound like that Vlad, though. Compare the possessives ("his pen" versus "he firstbeard") and verbs ("is rememberink" versus "give child dinner").

Shibawanko posted:All of it reads like he went over the lines and thought about funnier synonyms and idioms for what was originally "you're probably wondering why I fart so much right?". It doesn't work. Just let Lie Bot tell Philippe about a child being crushed by the deorbiting toilet from the International Space Station again, it's way more touching. It's not "why I fart so much," it's why he smells like a fart. Because Roast Beef made him rub a filthy odor rag all over himself to fit in with the Goodwill pickers.

ryonguy posted:Saying instantaneously disseminated social media is the same as letters on papyrus is as disingenuous as claiming Call of Duty has no more effect on developing minds than Pac-man. It is less NEW FANGLED THING I DON'T UNDERSTAND and more sitting at a table with five people and three of them are staring at a loving screen instead of talking to people in front of them. We are given perfect little digital worlds of people we agree with and share everything in common with instead of actually interacting with people who might have slightly different opinions and interests, and endless small amusements to fill our time to spare us the horror of having to spend a single moment unstimulated. And another thing, how can people enjoy movies without a live piano player??

Gimnbo posted:"Alright, let's see what people think of the new co- oh, they're talking about my divorce. Again." Best part is they were talking about his divorce before it happened. the Professor posted:But really, almost all I have seen of Molly and Roast Beef post-wedding is her growing resentment and I am like "oh no" choobs posted:It seems like they are implying that real-life Onstad is divorced? Chris Onstad posted:Judging by the wife and child making dinner in the other room, things are A-OK around the Onstad house. I just wish she'd started the soup with a ham hock. Maybe they got divorced...... because of the Achewood thread???

SALT CURES HAM posted:I mean, /r/achewood is very very sporadically active at best (and is typically really trusting of Onstad), assetbar is gone... where else do people discuss Achewood on the internet? The Official Unofficial Achewood Message Board is still around, barely. They seem to complain about the same stuff goons do, but they don't segue it into psychoanalysis of Onstad's personal life.
