do YOU love achewood, too?

perhaps it's for the best, honestly

yeah I'd much rather he kill the thing off with dignity and start new on a project he would be clearly excited about than limp along going forward.

The uniqueness of Morgan's character and his ability to energize a team -- and a city -- have been the chronograph of what makes the Brewers tick. But Wednesday night, we might have witnessed something that could turn the fairy tale into an Achewood-like graphic novel with a bad ending.

lol that is really weird.

also scoop jackson is still the worst.

I looked at "achewood dot com" today because nothing fills my heart with more joy than a long-dead web comic displaying its last update, an unfunny mess that came after an erratic tapering off period, an unfunny mess optimistically promising lots and lots more updates! Updates all the time! He's got it on a randomizer, though, so if I wanted to see the one last futile promise of lots more content...it's there somewhere. Somewhere in my heart! If I ever commit suicide, that's the kind of note I'd leave. "Lots of updates, I promise!"

whoa heavy

really dude?

Please help Achewood keep the servers on! The hiatus is nearly over, but we need your help to find the dawn. http://bit.ly/b0bEoi

apparently he's shutting down the fanflow now.

that's been linked to on the main page for about a year and a half now

couple new ones, eh

loved the first one, second one reminded me of when he went nutso, is there a third one yet?

there's actually a third and fourth one by now

The mouseover texts have been amazing. "Nobody is calling anybody Michael right now. Get it together."

universal truths in a wooden woman's hug

Teodor's blog has some doozies in it also

Bill’s wife Shelley or someone had turned on one of those Pottery Barn holiday CDs in the living room, and some rich people were “getting loose,” inasmuch as there were basically quotation marks surrounding everyone on the dance floor, metaphorically speaking. Women in thin white sweaters and tall leather boots with spiky heels were physically moving around on top of the cream colored carpet in ways that said, “Sex with me will be a painfully one-sided, seven thousand pound letdown after a long, horrible night of lying to yourself.” One particularly wild woman had taken her shoes off. Perhaps she had been at Woodstock, or knew how to hold an ocarina.

I know I'll probably ultimately be disappointed by another story that goes nowhere, but I like these new ones a lot

idgi

i actually think this is one of the funnier strips this year.

"learn to draw snoopy... from behind"

does the strip demonstrate roast beef's low view of the intellectual lives of the homeless being shattered by the available evidence?

that's all I got from it, don't think it was supposed to be operating on any deeper level than that

I read it (the actual contents of the paper) as parody of "longwinded, overeducated-but-naive bleeding-heart leftist"

this is kinda next level bizarre lately

i'm enjoying the inscrutability of the new strips, so far.

it really doesn't seem like he wants to write Achewood anymore, he's just using the characters because they give him more of an audience than if he started something new.

there is a penguin named roast beef in new england

my friend at the aquarium named that penguin!

awes

does your friend like achewood, remy?

there's some sort of "smells like penguins" joke in here somewhere

The dialogue in the last couple of manifestations (welcome back, Cornelius!) nudge me twds the thought that this may yet be a shark unjumped.

("the brandied imp")!
("back into the bitter stream")!
("half their eyes on")!
("Plus...if I stop touching it, I'm littering")!

Straight-up orgasm! Steaks present!

This "comeback" is dishwater-weak -- recycled and unenthusiastic. Saveur can have him.

*crosses fingers*

tentatively excited?

every time this thread is revived i end up rereading a bunch of achewood and just falling in love with it again.

I can't help but think that this is a horrible misstep. Then again, the Drinky Crow show was good for its short but entertaining run. But, achewood...
