I admire the graphic design while not being all that impressed with the joke. Ah, well. Life goes on, and I can always appreciate the strip as a graphic artifact.

Just for the record, none of you people have any right to bitch when I don't like a strip that YOU think is great.

Fuck you.

Man, Jough, don't go player-hatin' on account of Bobby. I'm sure Onstad will show up and call him an amusing geometry-based diminutive soon.

I never said I didn't like it.  I said it confused me.  For many years I paid large sums of money to purchase chemical and botanical substances to acheive a similar state of confusion.

I've said it before and will say it again: more real estate is good. I like the many-panels format.


Ditto.
I got the Calvin and Hobbes Sundays book for christmas, and Watterson talks a lot about how he liked getting to use more experimental layouts to tell the stories, or excerpts thereof, and I've always liked how it crops up in Achewood. And the evolution over a few strips of the stoned many panels to this.


Scott McCloud talks about a similar thing in Reinventing Comics. One of the reasons he believes the intArweb is a great place to publish comics is because there are no spacial restrictions or pages that need to be turned, if that is the artist's wish. On the serailzer pages, there is this comic called Fetus X, which is a perfect example of this.


Yes, but Scott McCloud is also a delerious loony.

Creativity is like a rubber ball. No matter how bouncy it is there are some surfaces on which it will fall flat.

Today, I am one of those surfaces.

Thank you for making that midi of the tablature. After listening I edited the strip to fix errors in the notation. It should play in 4/4 and not be "ragged" in the last measure, as it is well documented that medieval kings had no way of imagining ragtime music, depressed or not, and besides, ragtime is no music to play at such a somber event.  

I think the reason some of you feel that today's "joke" didn't hit with you is because I didn't write a "joke." It's some sassy Click Talk, some guitar music, and a weird pre-transition. We went through like a month of jokeless strips when Philippe got kidnapped, people, and we all grew a little.

You're right.  Everything's fine.  I'm sure I can get these all little pieces of brain back inside my skull if I keep trying.

Allow me to clarify: I didn't enjoy the strip as anything other than a graphic-design artifact. It wasn't just not funny, it was kind of nonsensical and definitely not of the caliber of other serious or more-serious strips. Jesus, man, we're not all troglodytes.

WHAT'S THE JOKE I DON'T GET IT WHY ARE THE DOGS TALKING

That said, I will probably like tomorrow's. That's the joy of a daily strip; there's always new content to distract you, and with a strip of Achewood's quality, it'll probably be good.
