do YOU love achewood, too?

okay wtf is going on here

german shepherd is easily one of the most acceptable dogs

but yeah i'm lost too

Lady Bourré gets a kickback for every customer she delivers.

Cartilage Head is being earmarked as Achewood's version of That Coupon Chicken From Family Guy That Had A Long Fight With Peter That Was Funny The First Time.

why is he going to fall onto the biplane!? why??

Also isn't Cartilage Head just a performance artist? Not some incarnation of death

Skymall.

maybe we'll get to see troubleman and no no again

The phone convo between Lyle and Ray where Lyle wouldn't just hold on made me LOL, though.

this is getting really weird

the weirder the better

yeah, I'm really enjoying it despite not really understanding anything

Is it bad if I get what's going on? I'm kind of thinking they'll resolve the Teodor writing battle thing off-panel later.

been trying to get with this storyline but on some level i've already checked out, the returns on reading this have been diminishing for some time now sadly

I have high hopes for the resolution on this one. Forreal.

This always seems shit if I follow it 1 strip at a time, but what made me like Achewood in the first place was the cumulative effect of reading the archive about 50 strips at a time. That way the more nothing-y strips just fill in the gaps between lols without being a a dissapointment. Not to say I don't think the quality has declined.

some good moments but no way is this building to a good resolution.

i was down with the Teodor battle-writing catalogue erotica, sadly it does seem to be aborted

I was thinking this was going to be a kind of lazy way of getting Teodor somewhere in life, but now this has taken an unexpected turn or three.

i am actually getting kind of bummed out by this

borrrrrring tbh

dude completely forgot how to write for any of his characters a while ago, its pretty sad

hey just because whiney's gone doesn't mean you all have to fill in the inane bitching gap

i think bummed out is a perfectly legit reaction; it wasn't really meant as a complaint about onstad's skills, of which this last plotline is a pretty good reaction

demonstration, rather

i do kind of think mb he should take a break for a while, do something else. like doonesbury.

just commenting on this ongoing plot yo

holy massive lols at n/a

Dude, Molly is going to be pissed.

i dig the crazy new plots

they're cartoon cats, btw--they're not really dying

isn't this the third time he's "died"? get a new idea.

I keep typing posts about cartoon cats and then deleting them from the post box

how many times did charlie brown miss the football

how many times did calvin play calvinball or fuck with snowmen

they're cartoon cats, btw--they're not really dying

haha yeah. still tho!

One storyline, which ran the week before Halloween in 1989 (Oct 23 to Oct 28), is unique among Garfield strips in that it is not meant to be humorous. It depicts Garfield awakening in a future in which the house is abandoned and he no longer exists. In tone and imagery the storyline for this series of strips is very similar to the animation segment for Valse Triste from Allegro non troppo, which depicts a ghostly cat roaming around the ruins of the home it once inhabited.

There was some speculation on the internet about what these strips meant[57], including the possibility that Garfield was either dead or starving to death in an abandoned house, imagining future strips in a state of denial.

i dig the crazy new plots

The Lil' Nephew taking over 16th century Wales with blunts and toilets was very funny.

The part of this with Ray getting in an accident on the way was nice, but the rest is dragging. The fact that Onstad's "Monday evening" in Onstad Standard Time (aligned with the US west coast) is sometime Wednesday in Central Standard Time is depressing.

it must suck to know thousands of people are going to be bitching if you don't finish your work on time

i think that's the main reason people are complaining; if the plot was moving along at a daily pace like it used to it wouldn't seem as boring.

I have no idea why he doesn't do another couple-week break and get a few ahead. Or wait until he's actually done with a comic before saying when he's going to post it.

or you could just not read it for a few weeks and then read them all at once?

it would have exactly the same effect

i know we read it for free and blah blah blah but it would really help if he got on a more regular schedule, which he did have in the past. like, this is his full-time job--it's not too much to ask.

yes it is--you're getting free internet comics for free. and they're comics. i dub you Whiney G. Winegarden, Jr. until you retract your statement.

mr. que that's just low, esp. since in this thread you'll find me and whiney arguing because i actually liked achewood and he did not.

ultimately achewood is not a "free internet comic" but a business venture--i have bought shit from onstad--and i am less inclined to do so these days cause his output is not what it used to be.

I pay for the fanflow and have purchased Achewood books and products. So I am a paying customer, damn it!

i understand y'alls frustration but buying stuff from him does not guarantee that he will update every day. surely you guys can understand that?
