I was born in a laundromat.

Brandon Rahhal

...what's that now?

Alex Moscovitch

Those are my doggs right there.

Miles

Man, this made me smile. Thanks, Chris

Toilet Cobra

We come a long way, baby

Chris Onstad

Hemingway style story in one line 💪🏻

“Cool Mayonnaise” Hank Spurlock

Post lift, tears falling lightly on the stationary bike.

Chris Onstad

Quite welcome, m’dude. I hope you read this fifteen-page story on the treadmill though and not between two hammer curl sets

“Cool Mayonnaise” Hank Spurlock

Got me crying’ in the gym, my dude. As a kid raised by a gas station, it is appreciated.

Chris Onstad

Thank you Mr Wms!

Matt Mitchell

Right on, thanks!

Chris Onstad

I started this — the part up until the room lunch — in late 2019, for the Oni anthology. The rest, and a considerable rewrite, happened last Thursday and Friday.

Matt Mitchell

Chris - did you write this “recently”, or “back then”? The answer doesn’t affect my enjoyment, just curious in the creative sense.

Jenn

He didn’t know whether to feel insulted or respected, which is a common strabismus of children who are raised by gas stations Situations that increase the surface area for heroics My code is a dog's code compared to this

Jay Williams

Well, I started out - not not liking it, but sort of confused at the beginning tone and wondering where it was going - and damned if it wasn’t just right. Ray may need a little help getting there, but he does take care of his boy- and vice versa. “Oh crouching Jesus in the shadows a man was never this much of another man's dogg,” as someone once said. Finest kind, Onstad. Finest kind. Thanks.

talk about a buried lede!!

Chris Onstad

You’re quite welcome James. Perhaps I shall chronicle their upcoming visit to Six Flags - Platinum After Hours

Gavin Byrnes

Brother you can quote me as saying anything great about Achewood that you want, whether or not I said it, because I probably thought it. But yes, you have my formal permission.

James Cash

This is perfect. Thanks Onstad

Chris Onstad

Thank you so much for your kind words Nate.

Chris Onstad

We’re talking Icky Bolero here, not some hoot-toot like Kanye West

Distant Egg Song

It's kinda fascinating to think that Ray somehow wasn't already rubbing shoulders with that level of jet-setter.

Pommes oder Brot?

I began by hating Ray for his association with the ultra wealthy, I’ve spent time with some in a service capacity and my contempt knows no bounds, and ended humbled, friendship like this can’t be derailed by mere money.

Chris

We should all be so lucky as to have a Delfino grace our lives

Nate

Absolutely incredible writing. Your comics show us the characters and let us learn their standard comings and goings, but it feels like an introductory work when compared with your short fiction prose.

Julie (HiDeeHoGal)

I knew they would hug but I did not know any of the rest.

Chris Onstad

Thank you Gavin! That is so kind of you. Can I quote you or just use the quote in promo stuff for the Patreon?

Gavin Byrnes

this is so beautiful. i have no idea how i would even *begin* to explain to somebody how beautiful it is. but i guess everyone here already knows. might cry.
