Making money from art is not vulgar. Art is a commodity. It makes people feel something. It raises the greater sum of human happiness. It increases the gaiety of the nation. It has a value. -John Allison

Achewood / Poll: Your Favorite Story Arcs
« on: September 21, 2026, 05:29:18 pm »
From Chris:
Howdy, Friend of the Library! I'm making a guide to Achewood story arcs for new readers. Please let me know which ones meant the most to you, and (this won't necessarily be the same thing) which ones you'd use to get a friend hooked. It takes about a minute. I'd really enjoy if you filled out all six, but who has time for that kind of thing these days.
Thank you! Let's get a new generation of readers into this arcane little universe.

Achewood / Happy 25th Anniversary, Achewood
« on: September 11, 2026, 07:06:47 pm »
According to Chris he posted the first Achewood strip at 2am on 9/11/01 then pulled it down and reposted it on 10/1 as a do-over.
It feels like it was both much longer ago but also not nearly that long ago.

Not Daisy Owl / Swan Boy
« on: September 03, 2026, 07:52:20 pm »
We're all reading Swan Boy, yes? People are regularly calling it things like "the new Achewood" (despite Achewood actually publishing new strips for a while now) and the Noel Goes to Hooters arc "the best thing since The Great Outdoor Fight"
This is my single favorite strip: https://swanboy.com/comic/fuckin/

Arts & Entertainment / Stripped
« on: February 27, 2014, 02:39:47 pm »
Did anybody else back the documentary Stripped? I've backed 4 docs on Kickstarter and received 2 so far. Stripped was one of those ones that seemed like it was never actually going to be finished but given the news yesterday I'm getting pretty jazzed about it. They were asking backers if any of us had friends in the press and I was going to see if wombat had a hook-up but that seems kind of unnecessary now seeing as Bill Watterson drawing their poster got them coverage in NYT, WashPo, Slate, etc.
Here's the poster if you haven't seen it: http://www.avclub.com/article/bill-wattersons-first-publicly-available-cartoon-1-201587

To save you some time, no, the 2nd cookbook isn't available. No books are, actually. Just t-shirts, posters, prints, and mugs.

Sports & Leisure / Brandy
« on: February 07, 2012, 11:51:30 pm »
This month grandma turns 95. As you can imagine she's hard to shop for. A few times over the years she's mentioned a cocktail she used to love that nobody makes any more. So I'm getting her the ingredients for a stinger, white creme de menth and brandy. But I know dick-all about brandy. Can somebody suggest one?

Sports & Leisure / Food in St. Louis
« on: August 04, 2011, 04:27:20 pm »
My ladyfriend is going to St. Louis for a conference and needs recommendations on where to eat. Conference is at America’s Center and she's at a Mariott that she says is very near the Arch. She likely won't have a car.
Aaaaaaaand go!

That space baby can't be all that smart if he thinks Steve is a space bear. He clearly isn't, no tentacles. Plus look at his funny hat.

The fact that this didn't happen a while ago just proves that nobody is washing their hands after they use the bathroom. I mean, the hot water button is right there. That said, panel 9 is pretty terrific.

Quick Steve! Run back in the airlock while there's still time.
I was wondering if that was a normal gun considering Steve totally no-sold getting shot like 4 times.

If somebody asked me how many martial arts I you know I think I'd give them basically the same look.

OMG color WTF~! Actually I prefer the black and white. Ditto for The Tick and Dr. McNinja. Weird, I know.
Shouldn't Steve have a luchador mask? Awesome onomatopoeia update: FIRM

The bottom 3 panels were the best part for my money. I'd like to see Philippe call out the recession. Take things outside.
