I have to confess that my least favorite strips are the ones with so many pictures without words. But at this point I'm ecstatic to see anything.

I think Cartilage Head is the real determiner of which side of Achewood one prefers.  That's about the best 'spooky' series of panels he's made, and as I recall there was little to no text for a few days of updating that arc.  I love that stuff.

Although now I think about it, I wouldn't go all the way and say I prefer that kind of strip, but I do like most of them he's done.  One of the most gut-bustingly funny strips of all time (ALL TIME!!) was Day V of The Party when Ray is dancing to 'Africa' by Toto, and that had basically no words.  In fact, that strip basically made Ray.  It tells you all you need to know.

So Ray's K-Hole is a bar in Wiemar Berlin?  Perfect.  Between this and the Christmas Card, I'd be willing to bet Dr. Andretti's AMA membership lapsed a while ago.

And hey, good to see you're all still here.

I think it's fair to say that Onstad is one of my favorite writers, but not one of my favorite artists. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Nothing wrong with that at all.  It's definitely the writing that matters to me too, just that sometimes a series of panels with no words is a kind of writing.

If decent writing can prop up weird art, there's a chance you'll like my minicomic afterall. Hurrah!

It took me a moment to realise I'd heard that phrase in SP, not Achewood and then I was glad that my internet entertainments had synced up on subject.

I believe that Hen, the designer, is a cat such as Ray.   I believe that the lady is some manner, form, or fashion of an animatronic, automaton, or otherwise clockwork.   This is evidenced by the pivot on the outside of her arm, by her shoulder and the seam that runs between her arm and her shoulder.

What makes it interesting is the term used is "designs" rather than "designed" or even "programs" or "programmed."

I got the impression that he is a personal fashion designer in her employ.
