I'd like to get back into audiocasting (no, not in the Ray understanding of the term) where I answer your questions in spoken format, so please post yours in the comments below. They can be about anything, not necessarily Achewood, although I will caution that I am not interested in discussing hot-button contemporary news issues, as I like all things in my library to have a good shelf life.

I've greatly enjoyed getting to speak directly to you through the nice microphone that long-time reader Uncle T sent me. I like to imagine that you are on a long drive through an Iowa cornfield (just going through the corn, not even on a road), and you're super sick of all your usual podcasts, because they keep bringing up MMA or "her emails," so you tune this one in, because you like knowing you're one of maybe three people on earth who could possibly care about what's going on.

I've also always enjoyed interviewing people, so if you are incredible, or at least have a neat career or paranormal ability people would like to hear about, please DM me here.

The occasional Achewood ventures into horror (Cartilage Head, Zell and Cory, Nice Pete's wild high school ride) make me think you're a guy who knows from scary. Have you ever read a book or a comic that really scared you, unsettled you, creeped you out, etc?

Chris Dubie

I always like to ask process questions from you cause I really enjoy your takes on creativity so slightly vague question: what have you learned about the writing/creating of Achewood recently?

Ben Douglas

Any chance there will ever be a full Achewood compendium book for sale? I have three from the "before times" but would love just one giant coffee table book

Datura

i am curious about how which character is your self-insert has changed over the years because i feel like you're not really a teodor anymore

ZR

Was trash spotting based on a real experience or just a joke? Do you have a favorite storyline from Achewood? And Are there any storylines you wish you could have ended differently?

Nate

Do the questions have to be urine related?

@misterjayem

Can you send me five bucks so I can get a medium-fancy coffee?

Ben Wilinofsky

If people for some reason want to hear about the trials and tribulations of a 18-year career as a poker player, I would be happy to hop on and chat

A few years ago Amazon listed "Achewood: The Complete Canon", with the cover stating "October 2001 - June 2004". I was looking forward to it, is there a story behind it not coming out? Somehow there is a used copy listed as $4995.00 by "Books in Demand" on there.

In October 12, 2006: Catching up with Bensington Butters, as he is about to indulge in a nip from Lonis Edison's charmed bottle of Hunt's ketchup, he says "a snap of the cap for the cat with the--" What was to be Bensington's next word in that moment? What was Bensington in possession of?

Bob ross

Do you like Funk music? Who in Achewood is a Funkateer?

A. Hamster

…clap. I think Bensington had just received the results of an STD test, and in Florida, ketchup is used interchangeably with antibiotics.

I was wondering if the high school van arc served as a bisexual gateway for some readers. Like, does that comic still resonate as a glory hole anthem, do you ever get emails from blowjob initiates who decided to take the plunge after reading it?

Nate

Glory Hole Anthem was the name of my queer themed emo-punk fusion album

Nate

My non-piss related question is: without getting too personal (in other words maybe this is actually the second or third biggest), what lie do you tell yourself most often and why?

A. Hamster

We covered a song out of it under the band name My Chemical Bromance

Dan

What is everyone’s urine’s theme song? We need a play list. Mine is Mahna Mahna

Sara Langer Rowley

What do people compliment you on that you think they're wrong about?

Pubdoggy

You once said “The album artwork of my parents' generation was a Hail Mary from Arcadia that bounced off my forehead and fell to the ground.” (At least that’s what my Facebook memories said you said) What are your top 5 album covers?

Henri

Is there an author or film director or musical act that kind of feels like a kindred spirit to the creator of Achewood? (No humility allowed.)

Henri

Also, ”what does everyone’s urine taste like?” Sorry, I was just trying to parse the above without my reading glasses, and felt a need to share.

Henri

Lyle has a Rickenbacker. And while you can definitely ”lemmy” a Rickenbacker, a Rickenbacker is one funky mofo of an instrument. Lyle might have a heart of funk, deep under a few too many layers of hardmanship.

Henri

What are your thoughts on chaos magick? Or in a wider sense, that whole (largely) british era of post punk leading to rave and ecstasy and KLF and some great comics and even neolemurian think tanks and what not. That whole trench coat counter-culture with tussled corvine hair types.

Oppido

This Q wasn't directed at me, but Branson Reese's comics, especially his strip "Swan Boy," bespeak a distinct Achewood influence (and are a lot of fun). (No, I'm not him.)

Pubdoggy

Oh Christ I didn’t see the first question and now aren’t I a dick. Giving me 3/5 was very gracious.

Ben Honeycutt

Seconding Swan Boy, the fantasy baseball arc from last summer is very Achewood.
