Kind of a hybrid thing. A little bit "flowchart" a little bit "meh".

After so long a wait, though, probably anything would be disappointing.

Perhaps best to put the weak foot forward after such a wait.

This strip was pretty funny when I first read it two weeks ago. 

I mean, WTF Onstad?  Why not go ahead and post it for everybody back then?

Really? That's how the premium area stuff went down for this?

God, other than the income stream, it sounds like that thing has just become a trainwreck.

No good for the main free site to begin with and now no good for itself.

Golden goose is just streaming blood outta its slit neck, huh?

No, there's other stuff.  But when he said new strip, I thought he meant new strip.

Achewood has officially entered the "so just how much longer am I going to keep this bookmark around?" stage for me, and that's never a good sign.

I didn't know Daisy Owl was a regular strip. I thought they just did the weekly strips at Cracked.

Ha, I wish.  No, it's done by a guy called Ben Driscoll.

He started out posting the strips on the Cracked forums, and when everyone told him they wanted more he put together a website.  Cracked runs a strip on the front page every so often because the editor likes the comic and wants to give him publicity.

I have looked at this Daisy Owl thing a couple times before and been unable to get into it, but today I started reading through the archives backwards and maybe I am getting the hang of it. This one may have been some kind of breakthrough - I had that "Aaaaah" feeling at the end that I usually only get from a good Achewood panel.

It would be nice if I could like this. It would be good to have something new to do in case, y'know, some other comic goes extinct.

edit: Oh, this one too.
