That's because it wasn't there before.  Wasn't that an archival revision?

I was looking for something in the archives a few days ago and noticed a whole bunch of revisions.  I thought I was just imagining things but I spidered the entire site last year around this time, and checked my old leeched copy with what's on Achewood.com now and a bunch of strips *are* different.

Maybe he's been cleaning them up, adding little tidbits and such for the books.  Each addition/change seemed to be an improvement as far as I could tell.

CortJstr powers, activate!

It was there in the original.

See, this makes me think of a particularly interesting concept: the Historical Achewood Project, dedicated to chronicling Onstad's changes in strips that he doesn't bother to tell us about. I agree that most of them have been positive, but hell, it'd be good to be able to trace this stuff back.

Yeah, because how could we hold our heads up at the geek convention if we didn't do something like this?  Sheesh, we gotta have standards around here!

With giant metal braces, to keep our flimsy, pale, and hilariously undersized necks from snapping under our heads' weight. We could decorate the braces with stickers, or glued-on pasta.

I believe they call that "cosplay" and occasionally cash is involved.

Ok, on the subject of revisions:

Was Nice Pete always in the dumbwaiter and I never noticed?

Yes. Which just goes to show you that any serial-killing blowjob can find a friend / room in Achewood Estates.

Is this guy technically Pat's friend? Because Pat is always the go-to guy for Nice Pete information (phone number, forensic hang-out data, etc). You'd think someone as hypercritical as Pat would be able to tolerate Nice Pete's stilted backwater murder diction for exactly two seconds. Pat wouldn't say, hey, come watch Braveheart and eat designer pizza with us, Nice Pete.

Unless of course there was a very convincing PowerPoint presentation involved. I used the Wingdings2 font which is a Microsoft pack-in to represent dead people I thought were my friends

EDIT: WHAT THE HELL YOU WOULDN'T EVEN THINK PAT WOULD EVEN LIKE BRAVEHEART IS THIS PEER PRESSURE OR SOMETHING

Well, after you escape from jail with a guy, you have a certain... responsibility to him, you know? To at least send him an invitation to pizza-and-movie-night, even if you know he won't accept, just because of that solidarity. And also because he could kill you in five seconds with your designer pizza.

Pat is one of those guys who figures he has to like anything that gets enough critical praise. He is desperately trying to explain to himself how Braveheart is important and meaningful and he's just glad Ray is paying for the drinks.

I knew i'd seen that design somewhere. Is 'stad a penis fan or is isaac a 'stad fan?

I dunno. I kind of thought that Pat would go all Indie Rock Pete on us and hate stuff just because it's mainstream. He reminds of the kind of guy who loved Iron Monkay 5 years ago but now must hate it because of the Quentin Tarantino re-release.

[arlucasinc]

Achewood is not necessarily overwhelmed with visual details but often there are little things that totally sell it. E.g.,

Ray lowering his head and tapping his toe, pre-dance

Feel free to contribute you own and laugh warmly and fondly.

So now why is Beef so terrified of dancing? He seemed to be doing a good job back in the day. And we know that he wasn't all split on green.

Well, I do think he's one of those who hates things that are too popular, very much in an Indie Rock Pete mode, but I also get the feeling that he's the sort of guy who feels honor-bound to consume and really try to like anything that gets enough critical praise or Oscars, if only so he can dissect it at cocktail parties. You know, one of those guys who only saw Gladiator once it won Best Picture?

hmm. can only assume he's pretty lit up and might as well try his hand [the hand with a frosty one in].

but with pat saying "dig"? and this, i reckon it's more likely it took stad a while to realise he had a prize central character, and a prize dickhead, on the cards with the cat trio.
