I miss achewood
« on: January 29, 2010, 05:10:35 pm »
I really do. Why can't it be just like 2004 again? what's this thing about 700+ pay-only strips? Why can't we be like we used to baby?

=/

(half-assed rant brought by spending yesterday poring through 3 years of strips and realizing how much I miss a steady flow of these knuckleheads' shenanigans; one of these days I'll get meself a credit card and fix things for good)

No updates to the subscriber stream since Friday's strip, based on the preview box on Achewood.com.  No note promising Tomorrow Chicken or blog updates.

Maybe Chris Onstad fell down a well.

 Chris Onstad  I have been lacto-ovo vegan for two days! Gone are the headaches, farting, and myopic worldview!

 Chris Onstad  Today was another successful lacto-ovo vegan day. A very light pizza margherita for lunch, and grilled vegetable quesadillas for dinner! Tomorrow's going to be my first day as a lacto-carni-vegan, as we are having charcuterie and Raclette for dinner.

I think the charcuterie killed him.

Ovo-lacto vegan is a joke, people. He is making a joke. If you can call it that.

I though the Daisy Owl board could act as a substitute but then that shit updates just as infrequently.  So I had to replace my internet entertainment with shit like youtube and leenks.com.

I think this is the main reason I read Questionable Content. It updates daily, rain or shine. Sure, it's sometimes lacking in the lulz department, but at least there's SOMETHING, you know?

Yeah well remember there was a hundred day arc where everyone was yelling at him (the word glacial was used a lot) and he essentially said fuck it and claimed he was moving to shorter arcs, more often. The Lash of Thanatos, I fear, was the end of achewood as we knew it. For his sake, I hope his current lapse is due to trying to find a new job.

Philippe has been standing on it for a loooong time now. A lot of fun has been had in developing the current cast, but how much further can it go? You can only add so many neat side characters, but how much does that help when dealing with founders stock that has maybe gone stale?

Might ought could steal from the lessons of broadcast sitcom and add a cute child character and limp along another 24 - 36 episodes, but that doesn't really help.

It's a tough spot, as Achewood is the paying gig, but 'Stad might be better served developmentally with other pastures.

Brief Synopsis of above: That's right Chochachos, I'm saying that maybe it's all at the end of it's run.

And that is Okay.

[I am willing to be surprised and proven quite wrong]

You said it, Cap'n.  You said it exactly right.

If Onstad wrote a novel, I would buy it.

I sure could go for a Fuck You Friday, even.

Maybe make it a "FUCK YEAH! FRIDAY".

I should sure go for a Fuck Yeah! Friday.
