Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Look can we just have a topic to talk about Achewood?
Cartilage Head:
I agree that Onstad has finally kind of lost me. I think he wants too badly to be taken seriously at this point, and his attempts to combine that with humor are kind of falling short.
Spluff:
It's almost like a parody of Achewood these days.

Really, you think the more recent strips were an attempt to be taken seriously?
I am not sure "serious" is the correct word here. Achewood is utterly farcical, occasionally bordering on surreal. I can't think of a time it was ever particularly serious.

Yeah um I really can't parse that comment in my brain at all Cory. Are you seriously saying that you think "I've got a ten-inch cock, and I don't have to lie about that" is an attempt to be taken seriously?
I think that the last few storylines have ranged between inconsistent and straight-up rubbish, but the few one-shots there are these days are still pretty great and this current story is shaping up really great. It may never be the brilliance of '04-'06 again and I honestly wouldn't be completely sad if Onstad gave up right now (provided he goes and does something else) but I wouldn't put it past him to make something truly excellent again.
