Wow. I wondered why Onstad was taking so long to make a new strip, but then this comes out and all questions are answered. So, what? Lee is the game and it's all a way of getting dissent out of North Korea?

Also, just wanted to stress how much I love the composition of the latest strip with the paper running through the rollers. It's really wonderfully put together.

I feel exactly the same. In fact, I thought the composition of it was what took so long to make the strip. It's that good.

There is only a toddler now. Onstad, I feel your pain. My 3-year-old keeps making me give her piggyback rides to the point I feel like Master Blaster. I've actually taught her the correct response to the question "Who run Bartertown?"

Wow, it's like Pete is tremendously drunk and/or high, but he's not. He's that crazy dude you know (and everybody knows one of these) who's just fundamentally wrong yet completely functional in society.

um I don't think Nice Pete's character is functional in society at all seeing as he murders people occasionally and has serious schizoid delusions going on a regular basis

If he's not in jail/prison/the looney bin, he's functional for the purposes I'm talking about.

This discussion brings to mind this strip, which contains what is still one of my favorite bits of Achewood dialogue. T�odor is considered "close" to Nice Pete even if he isn't and doesn't even want to be.

You know how a few pages back somebody substituted an Idaho inmate for Nice Pete? Well, thanks to a Cracked article I found this picture, which screams "humanized feline serial killer" even more.

What would happen if you went down into an abandoned mine to work and you had no clocks or other ways to tell time? What would Achewood do then?

I just thought of something. What if Nate's old homsexual identity is actually a mask for him being a serial killer? Pete goes back there, makes to kill T, and Nate surprises him with a knife in the back or skull. Maybe instead Nate is actually an old GOF champion who could easily kill Pete with his bare hands. Nate's dismay upon Pete's mention of Jimmy Carter was simply an act to lull Pete into a false sense of security.

^^ Exactly. He is being offered penile greatness. Penile greatness is not being forced upon him.

The way I see is playing out with T's reconciliation of the fact that he has indeed performed a homosexual act is that he'll out himself to Ray and Beef. They'll ask how big it was. T will reply along the lines of "I tell you I just sucked a guy's dick and the first thing out of your mouths is to ask how big it was?"

When he tells them, they'll nonchalantly agree that, as Nathan said, just being willing to handle/suck a big fat one precisely because it's so incredibly big and fat isn't gay, probably using the same analogy Nate used, except of referring to seeing the Ferrari Ray and Beef will talk about driving it.

"You ever gotten the chance to drive a Ferrari?"
"No."
"Well, if you did, would you?"
"Hell, yeah, I would!"
"There you go."

This is like in Return of the Jedi where the Emperor is saying, "Good. Use your hate." However, instead of "hate" Nate is saying "mouth."

Is there a copyright notice in the front of it? Even if there isn't, unless it's some kind of copyleft, creative commons, open document, blah-de-blah, it's probably a bad idea.

If there is a copyright, it'll expire 70 years after Onstad's death, so... just sit tight?

This is accurate. It sucks that it's unavailable, but if you scan and share it, that's :filez:

If that's the case, I think we can finally say goodbye to Achewood as Onstad gets a job as a programmer or whatever he did before so he can keep his house. gently caress.

I will say this about the newer stuff: it looks drat good. There seems to be more artistry to it than there was previously, as opposed to simply being illustrated, if that makes sense. It seems like he's putting a lot more effort into the panels and I can imagine that takes a lot more work. Still, I agree that it'd be nice if he'd put stuff out a little more frequently even if it doesn't look as nice.

For me it's indicative that Achewood just hasn't had anything interesting going on. After a new strip or should-be-expected disappointment people tend to post. We still love Achewood. We just want it to come back and BE back.
