25th anniversary. Crazy. Surely he's doing the math wrong, we can't be old enough for that to be true.

If that's the new Achewood then I think it means that I am correct not to read the actual new Achewood, because it's not for me.

Oh that reminds me of an author I was very happy to discover fairly recently - Manly Wade Wellman, who wrote a lot of midcentury Weird Tales-type short stories including a bunch set in Appalachia featuring a character called Silver John. Most of his stuff is out of print but there's a good new edition of those stories called John the Balladeer published by Valancort Books. If this sounds even slightly interesting to you, check it out, you will not regret it.
I remember being a fan of Wendell Berry's poetry when I was in high school and had a far greater tolerance for actual literature. When he died I was surprised to learn he had still been alive and I also am not sure I even knew he wrote novels. So that's how ignorant I am!

let's revive the book thread!!
You should all read the manga series I'm editing, Dinosaur Sanctuary. It's about a struggling dinosaur zoo and the depictions of zookeepers and keeper work are perfect. It includes essays by a real dinosaur scientist who is advisor for the series. It's really incredibly well done.
ok what have you read lately that I should read?

yeah, that's exactly what it's like. I guess, if I wanted to read it just for nostalgia, I'd re-read the old strips. If I am going to read the new ones, it has to be because it works for the present moment.
I dunno, though, if people really start posting on this board again I might do it out of curiosity. maybe you can go home again? in some little ways?

Who is this man and what has he done with Chris Onstad.
Seriously, I am happy for him that he has gotten his shit together. I just don't think it's for me anymore. My comic tastes have moved on.

Who's subscribing to the Achewood Patreon?
I've never signed up. I feel like Achewood was something that hit the spot for me at a certain time in my life and I am not actually sure I would enjoy it now. I'd rather not spoil the memory, you know?

Perfect timing. I was just wondering how Inev's dog was doing, like literally a couple of hours ago.

It is absolutely reasonable to not do the surgery. Animals can't think about whether they have four months left or a year left so they don't suffer knowing their time is shorter. They just know if they're happy or in pain right now. Less time left but with less pain and stress is absolutely fair to her.
