I read a good chunk of it until I gave up hope and bailed on it. It seemed to me he was trying much too hard to write comically, rather like a stand-up comic who constantly inserts long pauses in the story in order to pull a 'funny' face and stare at the audience, begging for laughter.

Every time I relate to Onstad he throws out some bit of internal cruelty or half-recanted aloofness for the human condition that turns me off until the next moment, the point where someone gets mad rutty with a bank teller

Is it still available on the website too?
Are the printed editions that were supposed to begin dropping last year still coming? Anyone like sic know why the Fantagraphics series petered out so soon?
― Enjoy the brighter sounds of Analog on CD (stevie), Monday, 10 January 2022 09:45 (two years ago) link
The complete collections were due to start in June 2020; one can only guess at forces that may have delayed the first one, especially if the editor was traveling to the US to work on it.Dark Horse did the fizzled-out hardcovers. Onstad is selling the original tape-bound books for $225-250 rn, and dropped a new issue of Beefโs zine in 2020.
― dark end of the st. maud (sic), Monday, 10 January 2022 17:26 (two years ago) link
Thanks sic. Why did the Dark Horse hardcovers fizzle out? Lack of sales, or did Onstad give up on them first?

Had a huge sense of dread reading that Verge piece that he was suddenly going to declare his interest in NFTs or something, small mercies. Pouring so much cash into a novelty AI thing is just nuts though, what is he thinking.
Have to admit to being gutted to hear about the Penn Ward "Great Outdoor Fight" series that got scrapped, that surely had to've been better than the failed pilot from ages ago.
