I cannot get over how good this is, it's amazing. The loving arrow forming the word GRUE is beautiful but there is just so much incredible gold in this strip.

Spillane posted:my whole point is on quality, not self publishing, and a bestseller from a loyal fanbase doesn't mean poo poo other than a whole lot of fans are willing to shill out an extra couple of bucks to put it on their mantles. So the WRONG people are buying it? Your argument seems to boil down to,"I don't like Achewood the way it is currently written" and suggests that anyone who shares a different opinion is either wrong or deliberately lying in order to "slobber" for an affectionate pat on the head from Onstad. There have been TWO storyarcs incorporating Mexican Magical Realism, and a few jokey asides here and there. You also accuse him of going to the well too often in the same sentence as you accuse him of being "too experimental". The "sporadic" updates you complain about are larger and more complex than earlier strips. Not to mention, this is all still being provided free to us, not self published (which to me at least indicates something is being self-made and then self-sold) at a time when all signs indicate that Onstad is busier than normal putting together things to be actually published by a real publisher. Finally, a bestseller IS a bestseller, regardless of why or who is buying it. None of these things in any way mean you SHOULD like Achewood, but just because you don't, doesn't make everyone else wrong. It just means you don't like it, not that it isn't any good, which it demonstrably is.

It's really hard to capture the sense of dream logic in a comic strip, but I feel like that strip captures it just perfectly, the way things that never were are not only established fact, but entirely reasonable in your own mind.

Chris Onstad posted:The book will feature the complicated and fraught backstories of the cats, including Sothar and Smacks Peel, I hope (but that is not a dudes' promise). I'm racking my brain and can't remember who they are, so it'll either be a pleasant surprise or I won't notice the absence if it doesn't come through. 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.

Marriage isn't a 24 hour/365 day/lifetime party of eternal shining adoration, so someone having a "moment" of reflection on why they got married followed by a demonstration of another "moment" of delight in their marriage should not be looked upon in any way as thunderclouds and doom for the relationship of the little cat, Roast Beef.

I get some and I'm all happy because there it is, just sitting there in the fridge for whenever I want it and a week later I remember it is there and I only ate half of it and now I have to throw it out. Sometimes being born with the gene that tells you to stop eating prosciutto is its own disability Also Teodor looks so odd without a belly, like when you see a fat dude who had a stomach stapling operation.
