@achewood Chris waited all day for the Comcast repair guy, and he never showed up. What is he supposed to do with this cream pie?

Achewood Book - Cover from Amazon.com

I don't know how long this has been changed from the originally posted cover but anyway here's a link to the amazon.com cover image, which looks nifty:

Also, this is what the little image would look like if they were selling it at 99% off:

I don't think I'd read the book if I saw it in a store without prior acquaintance with Achewood.

As an Achewood fan, I think this is a fairly nifty cover. If I were a non-fan, I think I might find it a little too "busy" without actually giving me much real information about the strip; it would catch my eye, though, which is probably half the battle.

(The strips chosen seem fairly arbitrary, though. What's up with the "born with armpit hair" bit?)

I don't know, I just think Onstad's got a Guns 'N Roses fixation no one's noticed yet.

Yeah, I was going to mention that but I didn't want to be accused of calling him a plagiarist or something.

I thought it would be funny to Photoshop various Achewood character faces into the cover of Appetite for Destruction.  Then, after about two minutes of looking through the archives, I realized how hard it would be to find strips where any character's face is viewed entirely from the front.
Oh well.
