Wonder how long until Teodor starts wearing a shirt again. Also I like that he's successfully hustling Todd after Todd/Lyle tried to hustle him way back when.

Muffin Loaf posted:Don't get me wrong. I'm just as sick of "How could that happen?? What's going on!? Oh no it's... *MAGICAL REALISM* (drum crash, studio audience cheers)." Achewood has been on a steady decline for at least a year or two, and it bothers me a lot because I love how the strip used to be. I think it has a lot to do with taking magical realism and turning it from a once-or-twice out of the blue artsy interlude to a recurring yuk-yuk gag, and analogous changes to other formerly strong elements. This is what happens when someone who mostly posts in LF reads Achewood, I guess?

Spillane posted:no, for real, this aint a troll. Yes it is. Spillane posted:sporadic updates Chris Onstad is not your bitch Spillane posted:repetitive themes, his tendency to experiment and for the most part overindulge with dialogue You don't like what makes Achewood good. That's fine, but why come in here and tell us about it? Spillane posted:would be disastrous from any publishers perspective if he didn't have such an established fanbase and critical acclaim from the first couple of years. I can't see why anyone who just discovered achewood over the last two years would stick around based on the merit of the last two years of strips. it's a godsend that the entire archive is free, so new fans can easily access the entire material without spending a lot of dough which wouldn't exist if he was published from a major distributor from the start, hence why this dude should looooooove self-publishing and you all should too. The most recent anthology, a New York Times bestseller, is published by Dark Horse Comics so I'm not sure what you're on about. It's somehow wrong for a webcomic author to gain a huge following and make money by...self publishing on the internet, and then self-publishing books/merch to make money and support his family until it takes off and is picked up and marketed by a major publisher? I can't actually tell what your point is, but it sounds like you're mixing the patently obvious with your personal (different from 99% of the people in here) opinions in an attempt to sound smart.

Grilldos posted:On the wide scale of "daily"-type comics in general, Maakies and Achewood are much closer together than you give them credit for. The fact Tony Millionaire can produce a page that fits in line with both the style of Maakies and Achewood at the same time speaks to that. If you "don't see what the fuss is about", give it a little more review than a single strip. I dunno I clicked through several of the Maakies strips and I still hate pretty much everything about it.

Grilldos posted:So I guess within the Achewood thread such generalized, opinionated statements against Achewood is uncalled for and deserving of guile, but against anything else it's fair game. Yeah, it turns out it's ok to make generalized, opinionated statements about things. Making them about Achewood is fine too, it's just weird to do it here (if they're negative) since this is the "we like Achewood" thread, especially if you go on and on about it. I certainly wouldn't pop into a Maakies thread and say "I hate everything about Maakies". I don't plan on saying it again here either unless someone cares to know why I don't like Maakies (probably not).

The great outdoor fight is where I started, and I think that story's more interesting than the party. Or start with Ray's company selling automotive ballsacks which leads into the GOF.

ProfZoom posted:The Achewood cast sure does a lot of writing. I know the idea has been put forth before, but actually having the stuff published and sold would pretty much be a license to print money. I think that would be putting the insouciant title cart before the strength of concept horse for sure.

Seat Safety Switch posted:They do actually have medically-beneficial synthetic feces; it was in the paper this weekend. I guess they make up poop with the right kinds of helpful bacteria and insert it somehow into your colon so the helpful bacteria start reproducin' and making all kinds of good vibes. That's great, but from reading the strip I think it's just a fancy name for a buttplug.

This latest strip reads more like that parody of achewood where Ray's holding a sign pointing at his junk than normal achewood.
