Pat: Well, filthy creatures ain't allowed in the house. Come along.
Beef: You dis my dog you fluff my hog
Pat: WHAT?! What did you just say to me?
Beef: I said that if you speak against Weldon then you are about to enter a world where the only activity that exists is tasting my hog

My girlfriend send me this one in an email the other day and said something along the lines of it probably inspiring me to make a similar list regarding our relationship. SHOULD I BE AFRAID BROS?
― Clay, Thursday, 7 June 2007 03:53 (sixteen years ago) link
I am actually a bit choked up! Glad it's finally happened.
Oh lord, I'm talking like this about a comic? I've been reading this too long!!
Clay, you should just reply "Why you even got to do a thing?" She'll leave you alone I'm sure...

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.

looking back a few weeks reveals that pat is totally taking on this gladdington's curse thing and basically looking just like his dad, simon. minus a little facial hair.
Also I like that his gay dad's name is Simon Reynolds

The guy who writes this strip is my friend's cousin. My friend has a T-shirt. He doesn't let being related to a celebrity go to his head.
― Jeff Treppel, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 21:03 (sixteen years ago) link
Onstad is a celebrity?

Achewood may be the best thing in my life right now. <3<3<3 forever

I was, you know, kidding (about the celebrity thing. My friend really is related to him, though).

He's a celebrity to me, forever.

I have probably a half-dozen achewood shirts. I should buy more.
― bernard snowy, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 21:18 (sixteen years ago) link
There was recently a interview with Onstad in the Onion AV Club and they printed the first publically-known photo of him. My first thought was that he resembled some past minor Achewood character, like he had anonymously drawn himself in. But I can't recall which character.

― iiiijjjj, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 22:25 (sixteen years ago) link
He looks like a bro.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 22:26 (sixteen years ago) link
no way! bros don't have super circular heads, wear purple turtlenecks, rock Lennon glasses, and hang out in front of gothic architecture. his posture might be sending mixed signals but there ain't no way this guy is anything but a geek.
― iiiijjjj, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 22:34 (sixteen years ago) link
You should read his blogs, he complains about kids in much more expensive houses than his sleeping soundly knowing their parents invented the Google color scheme.
― Abbott, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 22:35 (sixteen years ago) link
I love how little his cats are anthropomorphized, ie they have the weird gangly legs, long torso, and big thighs of a cat. Inventing the whole Underground thing to explain how they get to Subway is pretty genius, too.
― Abbott, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 22:36 (sixteen years ago) link
Onstad looks like if Emeril and Spongebath had a third member of their cadre who was even more into the Tenmen than the others.

Clay has been pushing Achewood on me for years but it took this one to get me to finally read the whole thing last weekend. It is better in large doses. That particular strip is insanely great, however.
― Casuistry, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 01:56 (sixteen years ago) link
xpost no Clay to thread.
. My first thought was that he resembled some past minor Achewood character, like he had anonymously drawn himself in. But I can't recall which character.
He, uh, is a minor Achewood character!

I feel like if I subbed to this I'd also want the in-universe material, as I used to love the old blogs, etc
― dicbo=v2-ubswizzb&hrt (stevie), Monday, 8 May 2023 21:35 (eleven months ago) link
I know some people think Achewood is corny and it fell off towards the end but the peak stuff was just wonderful, hilarious and beautiful
― dicbo=v2-ubswizzb&hrt (stevie), Monday, 8 May 2023 21:36 (eleven months ago) link
the book question is mentioned here: https://www.theverge.com/23713940/achewood-chris-onstad-return-patreon-ai-raybot
sounds like the tumult of having the possible animated series be canceled followed by a shake-up at the publisher meant it didn't happen

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.
― The Terroir of Tiny Town (WmC), Tuesday, 9 May 2023 18:19 (eleven months ago) link
https://raybot.help was a lot more amusing and Achewood-like than portrayed in the article
― mh, Tuesday, 9 May 2023 18:37 (eleven months ago) link
I note that the twitter thread does mention the short-lived artisanal soda company that Onstad was part of that the recent articles seem to have missed
― mh, Tuesday, 9 May 2023 18:40 (eleven months ago) link
I did start making weird faces when I read this, though
โIโve had like two jobs for a total of 18 months in my whole life, outside of Achewood. Maybe itโs time to admit, like, This is who I am. And this is what I do.โ
― mh, Tuesday, 9 May 2023 18:42 (eleven months ago) link
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.
