@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.

To call his spring menu's compositions anything less than a vernal fantasy tableaux would be factually irresponsible.

Wut.

Call something "hip" a few more times Onstad. Talk some more about your new girlfriend.

If he'd read your book yet he'd know all about those fuck*ng ducks.

No excuse if he hasn't read it, I sent him a copy at the newspaper.

well, you were certainly training them to rely on handouts and not bother to attempt to fend for themselves

Maybe if we could agree on what art was born of, we could send him some?

How about the comments at the bottom of the article:

Quote

A lovely read about food. Unfortunately tainted because the writer stole money from hundreds, if not thousands, of readers of his comic with an undelivered cook-book. Have you no shame, Onstad?

Quote
by BUGMENOT2 on 2012-06-30
Easily thousands, I'd say. Thousands, if not millions. He used those millions of undelivered cookbooks as bricks and built himself a mighty fort, in the very topmost tower of which he sits for hours, churlishly not drawing comics, chuckling cynically over his empire of swindle.

Really?  Millions?

Have you no decency, Mr Onstad. At long last, have you no decency?

I dreamed last night that I was chatting with Onstad, oddly. I had almost forgotten the dream 'til i saw this thread, but now it's clear as day. We were talking about the business, and I told him specifically what we had discussed here, and I said, "I think most of the fans are cool with you being done with the comic, but you really should have sent out those cookbooks you sold."

He looked away and muttered, "Yeah, I know. I will. I will."

Onstad's internet sock puppet is called BugMeNot2?

This is good information to have.
