Was about to forward this comic about paying attention to a friend for the last panel.

Completely forgot about the first panel and changed my mind. Perhaps I should change it again.

Onstad just stares at this every day and takes a deep sigh and his drawing arm starts aching again, and not only because he’s preparing a fancy risotto to pair with his craft soda

I ordered some of his craft soda a little while back

it's really good

It’s hard if not impossible to drop back into something creative that was so familiar and probably seems so foreign now without either doing a substandard job of recreating the old magic, or changing what you’re creating and reshaping it to what your new normal is.

Like a lot of serialized media, Achewood has a fairly consistent problem with its endings. The beginnings and middles of arcs are usually very strong in terms of things like story/concept and set/setting but then they just kind of peter out.

Around December 2007, Onstad is really firing on all cylinders. You've got Nolan from the Internet, Cornelius gets a tattoo, Little Nephew's jeans, Nice Pete and basketball, Ray jumps a motorcycle on his computer, being in trouble is a fake idea -- just banger after banger

Definitely need to know what's up. On the one hand, I want to give the man money. On the other hand, the last time he stopped posting comics then started again when he came back the voices were all wrong and the quality was sad, like fine wine that had gone to vinegar. If we're back on a new bottle and it's quality I'd gladly pay so like let us know, adventurists.

(I'm probably just gonna do it anyhow tbh)

just on the first comic and transcript it seems to be good Achewood quality but small sample size of course

Onstand relaunching Achewood as a business venture is very interesting, but I guess makes the most sense as a way to stick with it. I have no idea how well his soda syrup venture went, I know the business is still around but I don't know if he's still involved with it. I'm also surprised at how organic the Ray AI sounds, some of the answers are very natural and fully Ray-voiced. I suppose Achewood as a Lifestyle Brand was only the natural progression

the syrup is legit good
