I view today's "Primer" as a dubious trend. :disgusted: I couldn't care less about the "mechanics" of Achewood World. We're not reading the Handbook to the Marvel Universe -- they're talking animals, for cryin' out loud! Anthropomorphism is a long-accepted style of cartooning. Just keep it funny, I say. On the other hand, if a series of strips like this allows more time to develop more funny stuff in the future, I guess I can live with it. Strip. |

I suspect this is a snide retort to those of us who, over e-mail or this board or whatever, ask stupid questions about "The Underground" and world continuity and such shit. We may well deserve what we're getting.
That said, does anybody else find this strip visually gorgeous? Or is it just me?

I'm with you V, I took it as Onstad's response to the "How many Ray's can dance on the head of a pin?" discussions that go on around here sometimes.

Gee, I hope "Dubious" wasn't a regular here who signed up for a new account...
In any case, I thought today's "Primer" was funny. Explaining something that needn't be explained in one of those grade school diagrams is great.
And I like the idea of stuffed animals and house cats having the strength to lift manhole covers.

Explaining something that needn't be explained in one of those grade school diagrams is great. Concur. I would imagine O has gotten flack on this on a regular basis. This is the cartoon equivalent of being set in a chair in the middle of the room while a professor lectures you, circling around you while shaking an accusatory finger at your denseness. Also, the Primer Series tag next to the achewood logo put this over the top. It just bellows "OK, this one's for the slow folk" as sarcastically as the dickens. |

Indeed. Both boards have been going on about this (myself included) ever since Ray's contract/Subway etc. I get the feeling that this strip is pointed at us.
He's like fine, if you care so much I'll stop doing funny strips for a couple days and lay down everything in expostion and you can be happy. It reminds me of the August 1, 03 "people are tired of you Ray" strip.

Yea, I'm willing to let him go on a behind the scenes of Achewood like this if we keep getting work like that.

I'm not knocking the strip, it's really cool. I especially like when Ray's half in the manhole holding himself up.

It's an opinion. I was thinking of all the unjustness in that statement, and then realised chances are so will others. But it's a valid opinion stated in the same way as all the positive ones are. doo doo doo. I need to find something else to do so bad! |

Honestly? The more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to just let Onstad ride. Maybe this will actually clarify things for the armchair xenologists at home (read: "me").
