JUST DO NOT READ ABOUT POLITICS FOR A WHILE: “Q: A lot of Achewood stuff riffs on the olde-tymey. Are you yourself into olde-tymery? A: If you don’t dress up in a white suit and read Letters from the Earth in a hot Mississippi room full of varnished-oak lecterns once in a while, then, my friend, I don’t even know why we did this thing in the first place.” [Vice]

Put butter on what he said!
Achewood is one of those internet phenomena that I never have the time to check out, until I’m bored, at which point I forget what I want to look at. That interview is going to ensure that it stays close to the top of the chaotic trash heap of ideas managed by my increasingly addled cerebellum.
It’s gotten so weird this past week (not that, in terms of achewood, that means anything). I mean, there’s going to be a Sapphic Erotica Writing Contest wherein the winner becomes (or already is, Mr. Williams is competing) the founder of Williams-Sonoma. I love Chris Onstad’s work, but I worry about his brain.
[re=368089]SayItWithWookies[/re]: For me, “The Parking Lot is Full” remains the gold standard of its comic category.
If it’s not there already, I strongly recommend that you toss it on the heap as well. 2000 was particularly good year.
I’m just amused at the mental image of right-wingers handing the entire federal government over to Hillary Clinton.
Dammit, responded to the wrong post.
If there is a flaw in Onstad’s brain, I selfishly hope it is never repaired.
Achewood is the sole reason the Internet exists and will one day be known to all as the savior of mankind. NOT EXAGGERATING
Is it problematic that I have, indeed, read aloud from Letters from the Earth, while dressed in a white suit, while sitting in a room that involved some oak paneling here and there? I had thought I was being damned inscrutable at the time, but evidently no.
“Letters From The Earth” is olde-tymey? NOOOOOOOOOOO … I still hand copies out to Mormons!
I read Letters from Earth in a slovenly apartment in the Northwest. Then fall asleep. I have a long road ahead of me.
[re=368153]L33tminion[/re]: No, no, that works here too. Just try it:
Hillary (female) opened the door. She held a delicate crystal Bellini coupe ($29). A man (Bill) cut trees across the street. He would do, for now. She grabbed her tits.
I always kinda thought Strom Thurmond looked like Cartilage Head, only without the dignity.
This is way, way inside baseball. [Virtue]
[re=368089]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I’m relieved to know I’m not the only one with this problem. If only there were some entity which presented the web in an orderly form in sync with my brain. Reading an online comic nevers occurs to me when it should, only when I’ve already got 10 billion tabs already opened. I must admit, though, that I’ve never heard of Letters From Earth.
I love you so much for this post, Ken, I think you get some huuugs!
Every time I start to worry about where Onstad is headed with a storyline, he throws a line at me like “COME DOWN HERE AND FLICK MY BEAN, UMBERTO ECO!”
