Something tells me this is actually the last we ever see of this Nice Pete's van arc. Which I guess I'm okay with. I was still "interested" in knowing how it ended, but at 2-3 installments a month, fuck it.

I'm just going to put this out there: If Onstad doesn't want to do Achewood anymore, I'd be totally cool with reading whatever it is he wants to do next. I think it would be cool. Dude needs to get his passion back.

Yeah, Achewood or something else.  I don't care, just fuck*ng do it.

Edit:  Sorry, that was kinda snappy.  I haven't had my breakfast and my blood sugar levels are low.

I don't know why everyone is getting so worked up.  It's only been 7 work days since his last strip.  You know how hard those roomba strips are to draw.

But what if he doesn't know what the "Something else" is?  That would be mighty rough.  Burned out on the current project, not inspired for a new one, wondering what to do with oneself career-wise after being a cartoonist for so long.

I would totally be on board for and purchase merchandise of "The Next Idea" absolutely.

I would not purchase the paywall bonuses, though.

It is now officially An Irrational Thing with me.

ALSO:

If we are nearing the end of Achewood as a live updating internet comic strip, what is going to be the point that people "remember" as the "real" end?

You know how television shows that are looked upon fondly, most of them outstay their welcome and the last season or two gets functionally disowned by the fanbase so that they can still love the memory of their show?

What would have been the cut off point, that ways, for Achewood?

The coda at the end of the "Phillipe goes home and comes back" arc?

I mean, from a storytelling point of view, it would kind of thematically have made sense for that to be the natural end of the strip, yeah?

Wraps it all up nice. It ends in a little arc that points out how it kind of had to end (creatively) but will always exist (meta-narratively).

Are we now 'fessing up to the sentiment that we "liked Achewood when it was good, before it got popular?" Have we been made "hipsters" of?

Fuck all y'all. I didn't even like the GOF that much.

There, I said it. Give me a two-minute head start before you start throwing rocks, will you?

The GOF was good, but not my favorite.  That would be the Super-Secret Ice Cream Parlor.
