Two pages of unused panels and scripts from this strip post in Tiers 2 & 3 at noon, as does a new Roast Beef + Philippe interview on Saturday at 10am Pacific!
I will admit to writing this several days before the 2024 American Presidential election, so it is easy and accurate for me to claim this has nothing to do with those figures. This strip was originally going to be about a big game hunter (again, see the In-Universe Tier for those drafts at noon), but all the politics headline saturation suddenly sprang a leak in my head and it leaked upon the page. How does a child struggle to bend reality to this falsely diametric framing of his world? What is the path of his reasoning, and does his verdict on the matter resemble ours, or the opposite of ours?
I think the only thing that stayed from the original was the shooter named Jack. Also, I wanted to show the joy a little child feels when they realize they have the power to use end notes, just like textbooks do.
When did you first fall prey to the delicious power of academic citation markup styling? Sound off, F. Crews Crew!
Actually, don't answer that. Ending a media feed post with a phony-feeling call for interaction is so demeaning to us all.
(I mean, I really do enjoy interacting with you in the comments, as previous threads will attest, but please, let us speak organically, and not of real-world politics or joyless citation markup systems. I like to think of Achewood as an escape from both.)
