Wouldn't be surprised to learn the resolution of those images he drew in 2001 or whatever aren't up to the minimum requirements of teepublic so doing shirts would mean new art.

Achewood's art is 99% vectors. Everything should be infinitely scalable if he still has the original files. He might not, I guess, but there shouldn't be any resolution issues otherwise.

Onstad doesn't live at Oni Press HQ, and authors usually don't personally print and bind every copy of their books. I regret to inform you that teachers also don't sleep at school.

I also believed that bands all lived together, because of the Monkees TV show. Like, it wasn't a law or anything, it was just the way things were done.

Then you'll go to college, where you'll form an experimental band that will do controversial things like play in 15/23rd time and shower together.

I travelled a bunch for work last year and they would put me up in the same motel every time, and whenever I was describing how grim it was, I would tell people “All it’s missing is the retired band teacher with the self-inflicted gunshot wound!”

Ketel One is good.

Stella Artois is... beer? It's fine. In the US it's definitely marketed as way more upscale than it is in Europe, is my understanding.

The liquor store that I used to shop at in my old college town abbreviated Christian Brothers as "Christ Broth" on its receipts, which we all found very funny at the time.

It's known as the wife beater beer here in the UK, so the attempt at a classier image in the US is pretty funny.

My brother got Nat Shermans (the chocolate variety) based on their appearance in Achewood, and he was particularly impressed by their... flavor? (been a while, and I was never a smoker myself) He once came to pick me up while I was hanging out with my friends, and they thought he was driving around smoking a blunt because the cigarette had a "creamy smell". Oh, to be young and stupid again...

I'd imagine that the resale value will probably go down if/when the new volumes start coming out. I can definitely see the appeal of reading achewood in a book form instead of on the jankity-rear end website.

I'm not saying that its proximity to cartoon cats is what means you should avoid Christian Brothers, it's that the cartoon cat makes a joke about the scene being lovely and pathetic

Also the receipt says it's $10.99, you know you're not getting quality at that price

Ketel One is good and Stella is okay

I don't think Nat Sherman makes chocolate cigarettes, but they do use a brown paper which may give that impression. They're pretty good but I always felt self-conscious smoking them because they looked unusual; they seem like the sort of thing Ray would light up, barely able to contain himself as he waits for you to ask about them.

Im not saying there aren't people paying silly amounts, but I picked up the three volumes for....under 50$. I dont remember exact.

I mean, you can list an item for whatever you want, doesn't mean they selling for that.
