Looks to me like someone made a blog which posts every Achewood strip/blog update as they come in, assuming you wanted to read all Achewood content in strictly chronological order. That's... impressive and also pretty strange.

I was at userscripts.org yesterday and the script that had llisted as most popular was the one to display alt-text at Achewood and Dinosaur comics. It's an awesome script but I can't imagine it was #1. That slot usually goes to something gmail or flickr related.

Why would anybody... why... there are archives, so why would....?

Oh forget it.

I had achieves once on a pizza.. I did not like them, but I did not weep. 

This is unrelated, but I'm just sayin' is all....

See, I can see an argument for it. As it stands, it's occasionally difficult to place things in pure chronological order: one could go throuh and compare timestamps, but that's pretty labor-intensive. Some people might prefer to enjoy Achewood in purely chronological fashion.

Carlos, response from the bovine community?

Isn't this kind of copyright issueish? Like, Onstad makes his money from advertising on the same page as his content and if someone reposts his content elsewhere for people to see in chronological order...wouldn't they stop visiting the site altogether if that's the way they wanted to see the things?

Wouldn't that put a huge number of blogs and fansites in jeopardy of action? Aug, any insight on the intellectual property issue online?

Nope.  I know next to nothing about intellectual property issues.  Never studied it.

Seeing as how it seems completely automated (certain days with broken images just happen to be the same days on which O didn't post a-fresh, I can see how he'd get away with filing some sort of cease-and-desist, and fairly easily. Hell, he's got the typography skills to get away with doing it without a lawyer.

I'd imagine, however, that his primary income is via schwag, and that anybody who reads the site is unfamiliar with the URL. The only ad is for the schwag anyway. If the blog ran the current schwag ad at the top of the page, or a text link to the store inside every post, then I can't see how it would cause a problem. Seeing as how it doesn't...
