A comic about being young dumb and full of ketel one should probably not be revived later by somebody who is not any of those things any more. In My Opinion.

I’m still dumb and drunk, I’ll write it for onstad.

I can't remember - did Cornelius have any interactions with Ray's dad?

Browsing through the archives it looks like the answer is no, which is a huge missed opportunity. Ramses got a bunch of great interaction moments with most of the cast during the wedding plotline but him talking to Cornelius just didn't happen.

Ray nearly has a heart attack and dies right then and there when he sees Ramses extend his hand for a handshake first

Rays dad stopped being useful or interesting as a character after we learn he acted out rays time with Steve’s Party irl. That was the logical endpoint for the character and also the funniest strip he was in by a country mile

I thought the stop light strip was a good coda. sorta emphasizes the mythicalness of the character. somewhere out there someone is loving up traffic protocol and the rules of general courtesy and it is only because the man behind him has learned of reservedness that they remain uncontused

I think if Onstad ever revisits Achewood, it would have to be as an epilogue, not a revival. Something like the Octopus Pie epilogues; the characters are in very different places in their lives, the voices and themes are different, life has moved on.

Probably depends on whether or not he's just doing it as a limited thing or actually were to make it an ongoing thing again, though I imagine in either case there would be a timeskip from where Achewood last left off back in 2016

Does anyone happen to remember a written piece done in the character of Nice Pete where he attacks a park ranger?

The ranger is bothering a tamale vendor- Pete identifies that he isn't a cop because cops don't address specific parts of your question. Then he goes on to explain the perfect head-butt to the reader and reports that he stuffed one tamale down the guy's throat and another in his pants.

I've scoured the blogs and the honor club and can't find a hint of it. Wherever this one is hiding, I still think some Achewood content is permanently lost to time. There are a few things lurking in my memory that I've never seen again. Back in like '06-'07 I paid for subscriber content and there was a questionnaire filled out by a few characters in sequence. One question was "have you ever tasted semen"- Ray: "Ray Smuckles does not blow men, pass it along". Lyle: "Yes, once. Goddamn TODD".

I feel like I'm trying to describe the Loch Ness monster to people because I don't have a hint of proof it existed other than that it was too funny for my brain to have conjured in a hallucination.

It's so frustrating because it has to be out there somewhere. I'm the last person to pony up for a cookbook but I'd pay actual, quantifiable money if Chris Onstad advertised a collection of the old subscriber content that's no longer reachable.

I wish I could bump into him in the street and be like "I paid extra when I was broke. I have money now, this is creativity of yours I know you already developed. Just fork it over for the love of God."


e: owned by nanoseconds. Someone please deliver the piece of Nice Pete knocking a park ranger unconscious.

~OKAY, WE'LL DRINK TO OUR LEGS!~

the only non-strip content I remember was the blog where Teodor was helping Ray set up a party, only to find Ray and Lyle shouting "RAAAAAAAAAAAAY" "LYYYYYYYYYYYYYLE" at one another. Awhile later he found them both passed out wearing red boots that they did not have earlier, with a crude sign reading "COWBOY OFFICE" nailed up.

Like 15 years ago at a really lousy houseparty I got shithammered and amused myself putting a copy of that sign on the front door. The host of the party's girlfriend was there and her parents were really really worried that her phone went straight to voicemail so they drove (from 2 goddamn hours away) over to check on her at like 7:00am. Hours later I realized the "COWBOY OFFICE" sign was still taped to the door when they arrived to make sure their daughter wasn't murdered or eloped.

Now that I think of it the host of the party was pretty much an IRL Ray with the infinite money cheat turned off and the stupidity cranked up a notch.

I always marveled at how much the characters represented archetypes of people in my friend circle. I've slowly grown up to be a Ray and my best friend even more. (but as you referenced, infinite money turned off).

I know a Todd, and life feels incomplete if you don't have one for entertainment. I absolutely know a Cornelius in my friend's brilliant, aging dad. Another friend of mine is Roast Beef with more of the intellect and less of the depression.

Part of me would enjoy rounding out the cast. I don't know a Lyle (but would enjoy to do so in correct doses). I don't know a Pat, likely because I avoid those personality types like the plague.

I don't need a Nice Pete, of course but I'd totally welcome a Rod Huggins to the fold. Anyway, I'm glad this thread exists to vent some weirdness.
