Clearly he was raped in a van. Straight up 70's Van Rape.

I think Van Death is a fear built into our genetic memory. Early cavemen were lured to their deaths in proto-vans made out brush, mud, and stones. Ever since, man has instinctively know not to approach a van lightly. All joking aside, even when I was in elementary school, every kid knew when he a saw a van from the 70s, that somehow it was just plain wrong. The lizard part of our brain just shouted out "No! Van equals death, or a very hurt butthole."

I know, eh. He needs to go back to writing 3-panel jokes that are funny and not trying these huge arcs that are sorta funny and sorta pointless at the same time.

I can. The whole point of paid sections of sites like these is to give paid subscribers a little something extra every day. I don't think the way to entice new subscribers, and not to annoy those who choose to just get the free stuff, is to produce virtually nothing for the last year and then suddenly pop back in one day and say "Oh hey, paid people get 150 pages of stuff I've been working on.". You free guys can still look forward to maybe 6 strips next year, at best. I already sub so it's no big deal to me, but I'd be rightly pissed off if I wasn't. Man, what is going on with webcomics lately. Achewood has slowed to a crawl, PVP has become the most namby-pamby "I want to be just like lovely newspaper comics!" strip ever, PBF is gone, Horribleville gone, some other comic I can't even remember is going on something like two years of "The last strip is coming any day now, I swear!".

Happy Hippo posted:There's a huge difference between nerd-raging that we aren't getting tons of free content and realizing that Onstad doesn't care enough about the fans to offer any sort of an explanation as to why the schedule has slowed to the point of a crawl. This sort of thing seems common with comics artists for some reason. There's probably been a dozen comics that the creator disappears for 2 years, and then they come back and find it surprising that people were annoyed when they were left hanging that whole time.

Dominion posted:Maybe. He might also just be depressed and have low motivation to really do anything. I've been there, so I get it. Yeah, if this is the case, he could at least have the balls to just say "gently caress it, I'm done." He's stringing us along like a girlfriend who cheats on you endlessly simply because she can't man-up and just tell you it's over. Onstad is probably polishing some other comics knob right now.

Tenterhooks posted:Recently I've been trying to learn Illustrator and had the notion to put together an elaborate Achewood parody about Onstad's creative slump as practice. I quickly realised that I'm nowhere near funny enough so just finished off this little sequence and called it quits. What, are you kidding? That's awesome man! Maybe if you keep it up it'll shame Onstad into working more.

I think his entire argument is moot anyways since he takes "donations". As soon as you start earning money for something, money coming out of other peoples pockets, then you should make an effort to get things done and earn that money. I guess he feels his chapbooks are worth the "donations", but if scribbling around in book is worth money, then anyone could get on the web and upload their pointless doodles and get paid for them.

Awesome, we'll be getting one new comic and then Onstad will get depressed again after people don't send him thousands of dollars, and he'll go back to writing for Not-McSweeneys.

I can understood those that say Achewood is hard to get into. I got into Achewood fairly late in the game, and when I started reading the recent strips I just didn't get all the hoopla. Occasionally something would get a good laugh from me, but for the most part, it really seemed like the whole "in-joke that I'm not in on." But because there were those little gems in there, I still wanted to get into it. So I started from the beginning, and it was much easier to get into from there. The early strips were more jokey and self contained, so you didn't have to have any familiarity with the characters and how Onstad writes to really get into it. After reading quite a bit, I ordered all the paperback collections that were available at the time, devoured those, and now I'm a diehard fan. But yeah, I completely understand new readers being put off by strips created in the last few years or so. Especially if you happen to start during an arc like the Lash of Thanatos, you won't know what the gently caress is going on.

homeless poster posted:Oh no Onstad did your depression cause you to make further promises that you can't fulfill? Three strips in three days is pretty ambitious considering that you barely managed to hit that many since returning to Achewood in November. No wait, I'm a big gay baby for daring to expect, as a fan, that you might deliver on a promise that you foolishly made in writing. But if he gives away his recipes to fans, he won't be able to sell them to media outlets in his never-ending quest to become a food critic.
