Aww man, I was hoping he really would be five forever like in that "glimpse into the future" strip.

We've seen him have a birthday where he went from being five to being five. I don't think you have to worry.

His rear view mirror is part of a hidden sliding door type device.

Despite the fact that rear-view mirrors are generally in front of driver and the door it's tied to (with a rope) is behind him? :raise:

I'm still waiting for the chicken recipe.

The chicken recipe was in a bonus strip on the fanflow, I think.

Here is your chicken recipe, people. It's from the upcoming second Achewood cookbook, and it is written by Nice Pete.

Nah the one I'm thinking about is a strip, told to you by an angry Roast Beef.

There was a chicken recipe after all: Nice Pete's, so, if based on that- we say that the length of the wait is proportional to the awesomeness of the result, the next strips should be of a radiance only compared to the likes of the Great Outdoor Fight.

There was also Roast Beef finally giving us a chicken recipe in a strip on the Fanflow somewhere.

Well, seems it's up to some enterprising goon to archive the Achewood fanflow material before it disappears, because like hell is Onstad going to release it in a collected format the way he did with the blogs.

I was actually looking at the preview box on the main achewood page and noticing there were several new updates since I let my sub lapse, and was considering asking if they were worth the money. Guess I can't now! Hope somebody does this.

And... I don't have a paypal account to put my $1.08 in. gently caress it, not worth the hassle.

Basically it depends on which part of the archive you're reading.

Interesting that the 'tip jar' link is gone. Does anyone know how long Server Beach has been Achewood's hosting service?

It's not gone, it's just only on the front page, not the archive.

I just realized that the reason Teodor picks How To Weep The Weepy Weep Way is because, you know, gay. Always something new.

I thought the idea was they were designed to be completely uninteresting, except gay people have been informed that there is secretly gay porn inside it. :confused:

...except Teodor's not the gay one?

You're thinking of Pat.

Also I still say that those cases were designed to be completely uninteresting to anybody, gay people included (Pat was helping, remember) with the intention that those in the know would understand that there's secretly gay porn inside, except whoops turns out Teodor actually wants to watch the thing, abort project.

In light of this newest strip it's kind of tragic that I can remember doing that.

I don't know if anyone reads White Ninja, but that comic has gone on hiatus for about two months now. Not a lot of communication with fans either, so I keep thinking "Dude, what are you doing?! You're driving your fans away with no comics and no communication. Just look at how Onstad is loving up!"

Anyone have any info on that one? I tried checking his forums, but its been invaded by spam-bots posting threads about whether you want your penis lengthened, girthened, or bedazzled.

How can I read it when it's not updating? :v:

No idea what's going on with that either. Other than what its twitter feed next to the link to the new comic says.

Oh wow, I just went and googled the dark horse books and it looks like I can get all three with overseas postage for under $45 at the moment, seems like a pretty good deal!

They must be pretty slim books though, about how much of the archives does each one cover?

One is the Great Outdoor Fight, and the others are... slightly larger chunks of the archives because they don't have as much supplementary material, I think.

EDIT: They are quite good though. I used to live in the real-world counterpart of Achewood, and some of the commentary talks about places I used to go or recognize.

Had a discussion with friends about Comic Sans the other day and I brought up the strip about the son of a bitch who invented it.

I've often thought about bringing in my framed copy of that into work, but have similar qualms that somebody would be sad. (Probably somebody who uses it in their e-mail.)

Well... they should be sad. They're using Comic Sans, after all.

This right here, this is exactly what I've always imagined. The fact that Beef doesn't have even the slightest Southern twang is most unfortunate.

You think Beef could've ever afforded to travel from California? He was born right there in East Achewood, man.

If we're going to be talking about Achewood's flaws, we should probably mention the rare, but grating racism.

Both of the Asian characters I can think of speak in embarrassingly bad YOU PAY FIVE DORRAH accents. One of them exists only to babble aphorisms at Beef and then hand him an incoherent fortune cookie.

Chevy Ford Wo? I remember seeing a comment from Onstad that that was basically exactly a person he knew in real life. I remember it actually being a pretty spot-on accent rather than the stock not-very-accurate comedy asian person accent.

I looked up "abusive Chinese restaurant" and came up with Edsel Ford Fong, the world's rudest waiter, who used to work at Sam Wo's in San Francisco. So that's where the name's from, but he died in 1984.

Pretty sure Onstad's old enough he could've eaten there.

Man, now I wish I remembered where I saw that comment, I want to go check it again.

That "Okay" is the most perfect punchline for that comic strip. Scientists have tried to prove this to be wrong. After several years, their funding was revoked when they could not come up with a better alternative.

I get the feeling that's the reaction Philippe gets a lot when he explains things. :3:
