Never Safe For Work
And thus concludes Chris Onstad’s journey through the holidays, December 24th 2008. It would stand to reason that this year’s Christmas strip is right around the corner, so make sure to start following the strip at http://achewood.com.

Begun in October 2001, Chris Onstad’s ACHEWOOD quickly became my favourite online comic strip. I was reading this stuff since before the cats. In fact I did not like how cat-centric the strip became, at first, missing the absurdity of “Phillipe is standing on it,” and Teodor dressed up as Archie. That’s how O.G. I …
So a few months ago when Achewood creator Chris Onstad came to Toronto, I had the pleasure of a sharing a meal with Mr. Onstad and Dinosaur Comics creator Ryan North.
