A few months ago he said he had something in the works about that, but we haven't heard anything specific since then.

Neat, I'll keep an eye on the thread, but I really hope he finally owns up to the whole stealing his fans money thing and sends on the merchandise he promised and the books he promised, or refunds the money.

He's "owned up to it" multiple times, in the sense that he's said "I really need to set things right here" but then never actually did anything about it.

I would be more shocked than I have ever been if Cookbook victims ever get anything more than an apology. At absolute best he'll make a lovely cookbook and give it away free to everyone as a PDF. You won't ever see your money or a physical cookbook though, that's almost guaranteed.

Maybe he'll print the cookbooks then film himself burning them while calling all the buyers selfish capitalist pigs.

Achewood is going to end with a comic that's got the gang sitting around, and somebody comes in and says "Philippe is dead" and everybody looking sad, and the fourth panel is somehow a picture of Onstad committing suicide

Pretty much. Some days I feel like this thread would set fire to the old classics if they came out today. Not that this is a high quality arc, but it ain't loss.jpg-photoshop worthy. That's just mean.

I don't know how recently this happened but the Achewood Cookbook and Roast Beef's 'zines are free to download or pay what you want. This is a ridiculous amount of extremely hilarious oldschool Achewood content which I had never seen before.

The Metal Chef sequence in 'Zine 1 makes it clear to me why there was a notion that Achewood could work as a sitcom. I think it would have worked better if it wasn't derived directly from content in the strips. I also think it need not have been animated. The fact that all the characters are cats and teddy bears is not critical to Achewood. Just good people could make these sketches work.

I wish I could go back two or three months and slap myself for getting excited that Onstad decided to have Penny make another appearance. I thought it would go somewhere interesting and be done before March.
Today's strip was seriously boring. I want some more of the one-off strips, those were up there with his best stuff.

At least this latest strip didn't have a Dennis Miller style compound reference as the punchline. Maybe he's gotten better about that.

This arc blows. The new comic is a monument to bad-Achewood and these four panels may be the worst thing Onstad ever wrote and drew:

I normally hate all the negativity in this thread but this storyline is the most unfunny overwritten wish-fufillment garbage.

Phillipe, Phillipe, Phillipe, the saddest thing is a man coping with his divorce by drawing a masturbation fantasy cartoon where two bears fall in love at a Goodwill. *reaction shot of Phillipe saying "nooo"*

And then Onstad makes the entire arc pay off by having this be the next comic.
