Ferocious tweets flew at Hendren left and right, mainly coming from users @Arr and @weedguy420boner.

Most 2015 sentence ever.

Could have been 2011 just as easily.

oh hey, there are some new ones and they're pretty good.

i just saw!

thank god

Welcome back.

the preceding FYF comic hit a nerve

50% better than coffee alone

xp yeah, esp "lookin' in the bathroom mirror without drawin' an X in the steam"

really love that he's posting regularly again. once a week seems way more reasonable that his old posting schedule.

I hadn't been reading for a while so I'm catching up and this really made me lol: http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=03112016

this recent burst of strips has been excellent.

was wondering if we'll ever see molly again or if she was an analog for the former mrs onstad.

these new ones are good

Syphilis and corn nuts

I think recent achewoods have been +++++, welcome back into my life beef, ray et al

"Decapitated By Hernias, calling Robert Pollard"

The recent run has been both mostly unheralded and mostly great

my friend tried to explain who he saw at the bar and his description was "that guy who looks like a real life lyle from achewood"

I got it in the first guess. It was a dude who used to be a tattoo artist working next door to the bar!

in my head lyle's voice sounds just like popeye the sailor man

*reads thread* HOLY SHIT THERE'S NEW ACHEWOODS

And they're good!

Ok, shut down western civilization. We've achieved the pinnacle.

First time I laughed out loud at something that guy wrote.

that was odd even by his standards

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

Weird, I posted a clip from an achewood strip on fb today (where the judge’s verdict is that Lyle is an Asshole), without knowing it was the anniversary. Muss be something in the air.

got some time off next week, might just read achewood for a few days

Or a google drive link if you prefer. Seems more reliable than onedrive https://t.co/pwq3b46hK6

complete achewood in pdf form with alt-text, in case anybody wants it

wow that rules

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?

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 Beef’s zine in 2020.

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:

The zombie pages still exist on the vendor sites, which, while not a guarantee of anything, means it’s 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.

It never occurred to me that it could be pronounced any way but "Ake-wood."
