Hey kids,
Those who have bought swag from Onstad previously received this newsletter today. The man himself gave permission to reprint it here, so I present you with the Achewood Town Newsletter (such as it is).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Achewood Reader,
Happy holidays from our scene. It is time for us to thank you for
another successful year, if success can be measured in terms of
inscrutable comics and the ribbons of server statistics that
constantly spill forth from our large dot-matrix plotter.
The contents of this letter are here organized as “bullet” points, but
you may think of the bullets as smiling emoticons or dimes if you
wish:
* Philippe has hurt his toe.
* New store items!
* Today (December 4) is the last day to get Made-To-Order apparel for
holiday delivery.
* QuickShip! Our brand new next-day shipping program -- shop in our
store right up to December 16!
* The 2004 Achewood prospectus
PHILIPPE HAS HURT HIS TOE
He was walking too fast in the hallway and hit his toe on a box of
books. His toe hurts now, but no one is around to tell him that they
feel bad for him. Usually he wears his nice heavy shoes, but when this
accident occurred he had on his black canvas “ninja” slippers, the
ones with the light wicker sole.
NEW STORE ITEMS
The Teodor Apron: a stain-resistant thing of beauty. Quantities are
limited.
Ray’s Rad Chilies: Garlic flavor hot sauce, five ounces of Hot Taste
with a custom label!

micro-storm.
