@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

Polly never remarried. She and Cornelius have four daughters and will celebrate their 39th wedding anniversary in June.

Cornelius grows old, outliving his wife and seeing his daughter grow up to be a scientist. She discovers that the planet is dying, irreversibly, and the people of the planet build a probe to tell the universe of their existence. Suddenly Connie wakes up on the bridge of the Enterprise -- what was, to him, a lifetime, was only twenty minutes. Inside the probe is the same flute he learned to play.

Only now I'm back to the ol' internet fandango, so I just got aware of this thread. I am amused, and must do the ol' can-can now, it seems...

I think it's gone way beyond vacation or book tour or moving or whatever at this point.  He must have made too much money on his book tour.

We got 2 strips this month (January).  Seven each in December and November.  He didn't take off this much time when he had a newborn baby.

I think he's working on something else.  Are the premium updates still coming?  Maybe someone gave him the greenlight to write an Achewood screenplay.  Maybe he feels like he's got enough of an archive he can throw out a strip or two here and there to keep the characters alive and coast on merchandising while he works on other more lucrative things.

There are a lot of explanations that make a lot more sense than I just moved so I need a month off.  Basically what I am saying is I think that Achewood may be over.

There are still premium updates, including two strip previews.

It's not rocket science, people.  He wants to do the best work possible.  Because he has fingers in various contractual pies at the minute with Myspace, Darkhoss, and others we don't know about yet, and in addition to that may be suffering the perfectly normal stress and anxiety that would accompany having to move from your home very unexpectedly with family in tow, he is feeling (was feeling?) unable to concentrate on creativity. We talked about this.  It happens to Bowie, it happens to Banksy, it happens to Kate Bush and Andre 3000, Milan Kundera and the Coen brothers. Spike Lee spent a year sitting on a toilet seat crying before he suddenly jumped up and filmed a great new movie (probably).  All will be fine.   

 

Achewood's not dead.  Just exploited.

He can't produce the comic because he's wasting all his time on Facebook?

Maybe it is over.  If it is, we've gotten 7 great years worth of Achewood.  Onstad will do something else.

Life goes on.  Everything changes.  This too shall pass.

That fuck*ng guy.

Now I want some rocket sauce. I don't know what it would be, but it sounds good.
