WHY NUT MAKE SPECIAL FORUM OF TOUMB, SECRET AND RESERVE ONLY FOR THEM WHO SUBSRIBE TO FANFLOWAKATHEPAYSIDEOFASSETBAR....? HUH? WHY NUT?
YOU VERIFY SUBSCRIPTION BY E-MAIL TOUAMB MEMBER SECRET PASSWORD WHICH HE (SHE/IT) POST ON FANFLOWED. THEN YOU KNOW THIS TOUAMBIE MEMBER FOR FREAL SUPPORTER OF ONTRSTARD.
WAY TO INCOURAGE SUPPORTIVE OF ONSTRADS ART HE WOULD APPRECIATE AND HE MAYBE EVEN COME AND VISIT SOMETIME TO SAY "HERRO TANK YOU FOR GIVE MY BABY UPGRADE TO PREEEEMUM ORGANIC CAT FUD CANS'
THINK ABOUT IT
-

in elnglish:
yeah man, like, a separate room of touamb only for people who give onstad money. yes? no?
-
No.
-
no
-
OK.
Liz: tell your husband to either start posting short strips a few times a week or END IT ALREADY.
This is just getting perverse.

y'all are some impatient kinda impatient people

I figured it was the kid.

Quite possibly the dog.

Hmm. You know, dachshunds are one of the breeds that bite the most.

allright, so I just donated $51 to Chris via the donate link on the front page. What can I say, the silence of fewer strips is a continual deafening reminder of how I haven't really donated much of anything to Chris over the years. If achewood goes down due to lack of funding, I don't want it on my conscience, ya know.
So when you donate, it gives you a phone number for Achewater publishing, so I called and left an encouraging massage for Chris. I assume it's Chris who checks the voice mail for that number, or doesn't, as the case may be. Either way, I did my part.

result: no new strip
-
heh. We're getting into the realm of psychology here. I admit that I would certainly prefer that there be a new strip, and I would prefer that it be as great as the old achewood strips, such as Ray getting sort of stoned... But I think that perhaps many of us, myself included, have a tendency to over-focus on what we would prefer. I gave Onstad some money. No biggie. He does with it what he will. I've handed random hitch-hikers as much money before. I give however much money to the government in taxes in one form or another every year.. I buy lots and lots of consumer goods which only seems to enrich corporations at the expense of the little people... I am a veritable force of evil, providing all these resources to all these evil entities. If I can give $50 to onstad, it doesn't begin to off-set my contributions to evil in the world, but, it's better than nothing. Without artists in our life, what do we have? Walmart. Disney. Apple. Google. Microsoft. Pixar. McDonalds.
Today I bought a role of thick cotton string at the store. 500 feet. $2. I'm going to use it as shoe laces. That's 500*12/60/2*$3=$150 worth of shoe laces the corporations won't be selling me in this lifetime.

is not the power, is the system

Look shithead, you're not donating money to a corporation. You're paying salaries for everyone from the cashier to the cotton farmer to the fabricator who cut the fiber and put together the aglets - and in return you get quality shoelaces that you will enjoy. Its called mutually beneficial exchange. READ A BOOK for fuck's sake.

the troll should be full by now

It is pretty rich pickins around here sometimes.

Yeah, everyone is always like, "this Pixar shit is like, soo good," and I'm always like, "Neva seen it, neva will." I never even looked at a Shrek movie for one god damn second. That is Pixar, right? Who cares.

dude, if it upsets you this much, how can you be objective about it? I'm sorry for insulting your religion. Sheesh!
I have read books. The books I've read tell me that in these sorts of systems, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. You are looking at the parts, not the whole. Economics theory has come a long way since any of us went to high school or college. Economic dogma, on the other hand, is pretty much the same as it ever was, same as it ever was.

I don't mind feeding fanta. I need a good wall to yell at once in awhile as stress relief, like punching a pillow.
-
I'm not a troll! or if I am, it was not intentional. you shouldn't need to yell however. it indicates imbalance in your psyche.
-
Dont talk to me about a balanced psyche you lunatic moon man

I like shoelaces. I like those little thingies on the ends that make them work better than plain string. I am OK with giving money to a shoelace company.
-
We talk about aglets (http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Atouamb.com+aglet&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#q=site:touamb.com+aglet&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=8ad&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=iv&filter=0&fp=fad0bccbc44b8016) way more than is probably healthy.
-
I kinda like that homemade shoelace idea. Not because it's sticking to the man or whatever, but because it is cheaper and I like saving money. Frayed end shoelaces might just be the next big thing.

I wash myself with a rag on a stick.

Can'd for Talking Heads reference?
-
I like fanta. Let's see a picture of the string laces.
-
I use elastic as shoestrings. I am better than you all, and don't waste time tying my shoes.
-
I wear loafers.
-
TIL you can make your own aglets with scotch tape (self.todayilearned)
-
You can also dip the string ends in clear nail polish, then let dry.
-
Or wear Birkenstocks, but you run the risk of being asked to join a commune.
-
or you could run around with dirty bare feet, like a 3 year old.

I came up with three different replies, none of which I'm comfortable posting.

Now I'm not sure whether to *blush,* *faint,* or *weep.*

The weeping, while not unheard of, is a relatively rare occurrence.

Can't be THAT big, then.

Since Chris has gone begging I bit the bullet and bought a month's worth of Achewood Premium.
Color me a little disappointed. I thought Chris was producing more strips than he was making public, but hiding them in the Premium content section. Sadly, it appears that Chris IS only doing one strip a week. Yeah, there's other goodies, but I want the pitchers what got the word bubbles, cod snabbit!
So what is CO doing with his free time (besides rolling around and around in my $2.99?). He better be working on something for Adult Swim or I want my pocket change back!
-
one strip a week? what, is he emailing them to you? seven strips since august began - twelve weeks ago. if dude went to a weekly format, i think we'd all be fine with that.
-
Death Ray, if you're doing either of the upstate comic book shows at the end of this month, I'll reimburse you by buying some stuff at your booth.

I don't understand the internet, so here's an open question. I tried to click on that website and firefox doesn't like the prefix "jttp". Should it? Is that a typo? Do I need a plugin or what have you? Does this look infected?
-
I did.
A facebook ad claimed December 1.
-
Amazon says "Available for Pre-order. This item will be released on December 28, 2010."
Every month or so I get an e-mail from them saying the release date has changed and apologizing and reaffirming that my card won't be charged until it ships.
-
It'd explain it to an extent, yeah.
I don't know that it would explain going to a once-every-three-weeks format but it'd explain it partially, for sure.
-
Unless he's writing a whole shitload of exclusive new content for the book I don't think it explains away a years worth of every once in a while posting of strips.
-
Walking Dead did that thing with book five. I had it on pre-order forever, and it kept getting delayed. Book six came right out, though.
-
Oh. This is the link I'm referring to that Dark hoss keeps throwing into my FB sidebar, it links to this:

EDIT: Except that... you know... fix for the filter.
-

Heh- I read this to suggest that I was underestimating how many strips he was putting out. I was racking my brain to figure out how you were getting seven strips a week.
Yeah, one a week would be sweet. BTW, Weapon Brown updates twice weekly! (Just a little whoring, folks Don't flame me, blast your eyes.)

I asked elsewhere, but is that supposed to be jttp?
By which I should have said: "you might want to change your link to http, unless it's an inside joke that I'm not privy to".
-
Is it "Jive Text Transfer Protocol?
-
Are you talking about the link to his site in the footer of his posts? It's showing as http on this computer.
-
No, on his profile. On your profile, Mr. Death Ray.
-
I don't know from sigs, Paul. I meant the little "link to my website" spot.
-
Your sig, for example is "I am just going outside and may be some time. - Lawrence Edward Grace "Titus" Oates."
-

Oh! You were asking ME. Thanks for the heads up. It is fixed now.
-

Yeah, I just meant I hadn't realized that the same was supposed to be linked from his sig. I just went to the little dingus on the side, because I saw it there - I don't have one.

One strip for the entire month of October. I'm finding the total silence ominous. Reminds me of the way Perry Bible faded off.

Exactly, so it's not a fair comparison.

Speaking of which... I went there, and there is a new PBF... "Memorabilia"

I just started reading the DO archives yesterday. Pretty nice.

I linked to that in the other thread where we complain about no strip. Doesn't it give you hope?

What I worry about is that Arrosto Beef is more than a little autobiographical, and right now Onstad can't even bite down on toast.
If I live in the same state do I have a moral obligation to go check on him?

in one of his recent tweets he was pretty excited to get a "fuck sadness lamp". im inclined to have mercy on him because i havent been able to afford my depression meds in over two months. the shit is steadily hitting the fan.
-
Nothing comforts me about this. Especially the SAD lamp stuff. Sigh.

I live in the same town as he does, but I don't want to bug him. I've stopped sending him liquor, though. Maybe that'll help.

I think we'll need to graph your liquor packages vs. product output.
You might have caused this dry spell.

Ok, full disclosure. I haven't sent him any liquor in . . . let's see . . . carry the one . . . . maybe eight years.

Theres a strip!! And it's about the lamp!

A strip! A very palpable strip!
