Who's subscribing to the Achewood Patreon?

I've never signed up. I feel like Achewood was something that hit the spot for me at a certain time in my life and I am not actually sure I would enjoy it now. I'd rather not spoil the memory, you know?

I am. It's hit or miss. Onstad did the Onstadiest thing where he made a Discord server for subscribers, payed attention to it for a little bit, then abandoned it in favor of only reading and replying to comment posts under each individual comic even though the website sucks.

He's been posting the comics on schedule, doing Ray's Place fairly regularly, and at one point made a (deep sigh) AI version of Ray you could ask questions of

Is Achewood published on a regular schedule even Achewood?

There was even a time where he was going to be away so made up for it by posting extra

Who is this man and what has he done with Chris Onstad.

Seriously, I am happy for him that he has gotten his shit together. I just don't think it's for me anymore. My comic tastes have moved on.

I intend to go back and catch up.  Someday.  But it's kind of like trying to catch a particular time in a bottle.  Feels painfully nostalgic.  But I'm a sucker for nostalgia.

yeah, that's exactly what it's like. I guess, if I wanted to read it just for nostalgia, I'd re-read the old strips. If I am going to read the new ones, it has to be because it works for the present moment.

I dunno, though, if people really start posting on this board again I might do it out of curiosity. maybe you can go home again? in some little ways?

In a classic InEv story, there’s a woman on my block who had a baby at the same time as us… who I knew in high school back when I first started posting on the board. She is from Kansas but was childhood friends with my high school friend and we used to be in group AOL Instant Messaging chats. It is a 100% coincidence that we live on the same block, although I did recognize her building when we looked at our apartment.

This is relevant because I discovered she has all the achewood books and says she and her husband have loved it since high school. I have to have introduced her to it, right?

She said she didn’t know he was making new ones, either.

This may make me sound like someone from my parents’ generation, but if I never heard about this and nobody I follow online has ever mentioned this, how good could they be?

I think the best new arc was Teodor working for Tina's agency?

Beef's line today "World's worst day without any personal money plus ain't got the 'uptakes for this trash jamboree of a society besides" feels a little too forced to actually read as Beef-speak
