Title: Onstad -- Hopped up on goofballs?
Post by: AugustWest on July 09, 2004, 02:38:16 am
What the hell is up with Onstad lately?  I mean, his output has just been prodigious, no?  Regular strips, serializer updates, the blogs, new products and now a newsletter.  Damn!  Did the guy just discover caffeine or what?

Not that I'm complaining, I just don't want him to burn out.

Yeah,  he really has been going nuts lately, it's awesome.

Perchance he quit his day-job? This would explain the sudden pandering for flash cash, as well as a prodigious output.



Prodigious.

This fits a little too well, honestly. Then again, he appears to have forgotten the general idea of "if you want people to buy T-shirts, please print T-shirts which people will actually want to spend money to buy." (See: Philippe is a Bee. Wonder: how many of those he still has sitting in his basement.)

Which brings the horrible thought: did Nice Pete show up again merely because Onstad decided to sell a Nice Pete shirt?

Perhaps, but does it really matter where inspiration comes from?  I believe that many of the great works of literature were written with the inspired idea of keeping the author out of the poorhouse, yes?

I thought he didn't have a day job to quit anymore.  Whatever he's on, I'd definitely buy some of that.

Recently, at a Squarepusher show at the hippest venue in town, I saw two separate "Phillipe is a Bee" Tshirts.  The only thing more remarkable than that is that the kids who had 'em on were doing very well with the ladies.  Do not doubt the power of Phillipe as a bee.

Wait....you mean they don't all write their own blogs?

Next you'll be telling me there's no Easter Bunny?

This is true enough. I can't deny the quality of recent output, just... enh, I dunno. Maybe the newsletter put a bad taste in my mouth.
