Achewood has its moments, and has a few solid punchlines that require some thinking to appreciate, but c'mon son. You gotta admit the signal to noise ratio isn't great, and if you toss out the comics where "the joke is literally weed" you're left with about 20 mostly unfunny cartoons.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Achewood. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Blister's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about the AFTERLIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Achewood truly ARE bain damaged- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Blister's existential catchphrase "It's all ching chong ling long," which itself is a cryptic reference to China's strange dialect and the racist way westerners interpret it. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Chris Onstad's genius wit unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Achewood tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

Well, this comic exists.
That's about it, really, it exists, this shit evokes zero emotion within me whatsoever. The "two people sitting in a white background and talking" format/genre can be wildly hit or miss, but this one didn't even throw a ball for me to hit or miss.

I remember when Achewood used to be the hottest, most popular-with-cool-kids comic out there. I always hated it.

Might as well have been the official comic of Something Awful. I never got it. This one in particular got posted around there a lot and inspired at least a few usernames and tattoos.
Also the main characters are apparently all cats and not bears like I always thought.

I found it really over rated, and the turbo-fans really insufferable. I'm pretty sure if you take the list of the Patreon subscribers and graph it over a list of "Insufferable pretentious ingrown fart-huffing cocksacks" the patreon circle sits neatly inside.
But some of them at least got a chuckle.

Man, this takes me back. I never really got into Achewood, OR that dinosaur clip-art comic, but they were the biggest comics going. Never cared for PVP either, to be honest. I did like some Penny Arcade, but mostly it was all "meh" to me. It's hard to believe these guys made whole fortunes off some of this stuff. Christ knows I never made bank from my comics. Maybe I didn't deserve to, but at least I tried to do interesting things instead of phoning it in like some of these fuckers did.

Dinosaur Comics I liked, but it was so samey and all WordsWordWords so I'd generally remember it existed (and I think it had a wonky update schedule), read it for a week or two, get tired of it/waiting for updates. Rinse and repeat.
Penny Arcade was sort of the same way, but I'd keep up with that more regularly - at least until they cucked under on the Dickwolves issue.
Scott Kurtz was too insufferable for me to enjoy PVP, though he sometimes hit gold like his Watchmen parody.
Webcomics as a supportable business model has really dried up post-2007 and the first major web advertiser implosion. If you didn't have an audience on lock when that happened, it was a real uphill battle.
The ones I've seen actually support a creator that aren't just people habitually donating because they are attached to the community about two steps away from a cult (Sluggy Freelance) are comics with either a highly monetizable user base advertisers will still pay to have access to or simps will pay to remove the ads (Penny Arcade, PVP) or creators who got graphic work through their comics.
Speaking of old comics, in a bizarre twist of fate Keenspot has gone from premier webcomic collective to focusing on physical comics.

He's missing some fingers, and there's other skulls and bones, Garfield slowly comes to the realization that the sausage in his lasagna isn't pork, it isn't beef. It isn't even a low fat meat substitute. It's people. Jon's been feeding him people to sustain his unrealistic diet. Gluttony comes at a cost, dear garfield. And Garfield struggles to comprehend the realization of his greed. What he's turned himself into. Worse, what he's turned Jon into. A depraved human meat suit slave bent to his will, meeting his desire by any means possible.

Why do you think Garfield keeps eating lasagna? He's chasing the high of that one John made with longpig

Honestly, I kinda half-doubt Garfield would give much of a shit if Jon went crazy and started making lasagna out of human meat as long as it tasted good.
He's just surprised Lyman isn't dead yet.

Bizarre new storyline from oldschool webcomic Rain, where titular Rain now transitions a second time cross-species into a dragon: Rainbow Story 1 - Third Puberty
