Classy!
I fucking adore Achewood -- got hooked after reading The Great Outdoor Fight story last winter. Ray and Roast Beef in particular are unsettlingly real to me, for internet cartoon cats. LOVED the strip a few days ago where they found the guy who invented Comic Sans.

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?

It looks like this was the announced 2020 release:https://onipress.com/pages/achewoodThe zombie pages still exist on the vendor sites, which, while not a guarantee of anything, means itโs only partially dead

Following that link Barnes & Noble suggests it will come in September

Possibly. I know some publishers/stores will just auto-bump a release date from the original date.

I've been a John Allison supporter on Patreon for a few years but he's gone off in directions that don't interest me, so I'm going to shift that support to Onstad and see how it goes.

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.
