I paid for it, downloaded the PDFs (haven't looked at them yet), and have no regrets.
I've been paying since he started it. While I don't love that the segmentation into paid-for and not, the man has given me many a chuckle and there are far too many strips that are etched into my memory. In return for that, I'm willing to toss the occasional shiny dollar in his direction.
The chapbooks that he posted t'other day are some pretty tough chuckles. Except without the chuckles. From reading them, I can only imagine that the dude is going through some tough times. I've got some good friends who suffer from the dark dog and reading those chapbooks feels rather like deja-vu. Even Roast Beef seems happier than Onstad does.
