Man, why was Death Ray's duplicate date post locked so fast. That was hilarious. In one single strike of the keyboard, he duplicated a thread, incorrectly titled and then failed to put the permalink in the post. Hilarious!

Probably also included a link to a Funny Parody of, say, Penny Arcade that consisted of rectal prolapse humor.

The way LN is already dressed up like the others ... how many other of Iorweth's "sons" joined the family this way?
They rest of them, sans Taffy, look related, though.

I did wonder how the Molly Dying In 1676 And Yet Her Family Is Still Alive And Well story arc was going to play out.

Still alive and well?? Looked as much as they did come from that other place. We already know that you can move between death and not and that there are a variety of ways to come back - see the Ray in Hell arc, and Beef's return by hand of No-No.

Is it my imagination, or did the page say noon PDT update today?

Is this an enforceable contract?

I guess that it got swapped out for the multiple blog copouts updates

Well, like, at least we weren't charged three bucks a month for those particular cop-outs, right?

That's... something?

The premium updates are at least quite amusing, and give me a way to take the edge off my Achewood jones while Onstad practices his entirely unpredictable posting schedule.

I've decided I like the premium updates. Except, it's lonely over there. It's not as much fun without being able to discuss them with you guys.

I feel like the premium updates are causing a greater-than-usual drag on the free stuff. 

If that's the way CO wants to play it, that's his game.  But considering that (as I understand his business model) most of his money comes from t-shirt sales and not from subscribers, I would venture to hazard a guess that letting the free content take a backseat the the subscriber content is less than beneficial to his income stream. 

Just a thought.

Well, I'd imagine that there's the problem that... like...

A subscription thing creates the illusion of "steady income" even if that income is significantly less than the merch you'd be moving if you kept driving it with the free content that you built your business model on to begin with.

I'd imagine that "steady" seems really tempting when you have a larve to feed but, like, if people get into the GOF book and go to the website and find a trickle of new free content... oh man... you're shooting your momentum in the foot while kicking it in the nuts.

Ah. I don't know. I feel like I've spent my life preparing myself to handle success properly without ever really having the confidence to go through the succeeding part. Blah. I'm probably, like, projecting.

I hate this new subscription-based content. It does look like a cheap copout. SMS updates? Too much commotion for a strip, I'd say. Makes me feel like I'm losing details and important information on Achewood, which wasn't exactly explanation-friendly to begin with. I might be wrong on that, granted. But in the end of the day what I'm sure of is that I miss the time when the strips came out more frequently. Sigh.
