I've added a last sentence to the intro, on the page for Achewood, complete with a correctly-formatted attribution to a Salon interview with Chris Onstad.

Somebody edited it down to "many" instead of "most" but that's bullshit. I considered my wording carefully. It's most, when you get a-countin'.

SteveDallas · 04-30-2009, 04:45 PM

Are you gonna stand for that shit? Come on, start an edit war already.

Undertoad · 04-30-2009, 05:34 PM

Done, and I've opened a Talk section on the matter, if it need be discussed.

SteveDallas · 04-30-2009, 08:56 PM

I was just being a smartass.

Undone and re-undone. This is war.

The comic's humor is most often absurdist, generally lacking a set punch line, and sometimes branches into the surreal.[2] The most frequently used font in the strip is Blue Highway, which does not have any italic characters. As Onstad is a food and cooking enthusiast[3], mork Achewood strips contain some reference to food or drink.

i think i'm funny

edit: it would have been funnier, had the edit stuck....i guess i have to get some type of credential?

From the references section of the Achewood Wikipedia page, the Salon.com review of Chris Onstead's cookbook:

Quote:

...
It's also one of the only strips in any medium to tackle the nuances of the culinary world, riffing off of molecular gastronomy and eggless Sardinian pasta the way most strips work with put-upon wives and clumsy oversize dogs.

The epicurean tendencies of Achewood emerge organically from its author's commanding -- and borderline obsessive -- interest in cookbooks, and his almost militarily perfectionist brand of home cooking.
...

Attention, K-Mart shoppers! There's a Blue Light special on A Life on aisle five! Everyone in this thread needs to go *get one*.

Oh, that's cold, dogg. I would never say anything like that.

Elspode · 05-05-2009, 02:28 PM

I was joking. I edit Wikis on occasion, too. But I freely admit that I have no life.

SteveDallas · 05-19-2009, 11:24 AM

OK, I am now here.

It's very difficult for me to enjoy a comic by starting "in the middle." So when somebody recommends a webcomic to me, I usually click straight to the archives and read from teh beginning.

I have not gotten Achewood before. But I'm now up to mid-2003, and I am finally feeling the love for this strip.

Hell, I may actually be Roast Beef.

Undertoad · 05-19-2009, 01:27 PM

I envy you so much. You are into where Onstad hits stride.
