0178 — Manifestos (Patreon)

This strip was inspired by a conversation I recently had with my father, wherein we tried to see who was more disappointed in America. I live in Portland, and he lives in California, so the one-upsmanship was intense. "Heard your water prices are doubling thanks to that stupid new three billion dollar water treatment plant nobody needed!" "Well, dad, how can you type so clearly while speeding away from all those mismanaged forest fires?" Et cetera, et cetera, sigh, et cetera. As per usual, we just ended up blathering about how my sister spends too much time fussing over her lifestyle chickens, then said we'd send each other a package from Nueske's and hung up.

B-Roll Strip

Don't forget — the b-roll / "making-of" version of this strip posts two hours later in Tiers 2 & 3. Upgrade for a month to enjoy this and over 400 other upper-tier Achewood pieces! Or upgrade forever, and find your life vastly more entertained.

Give the Gift of Bingeing Comics

It's never too late to give a gift a subscription to the Patreon to a friend or loved one or marginally respected colleague! It's dead easy: choose how many months you want to give, then get a link you can share with them. It won't auto-renew. This is an even better gift now that the archive is binge-able! (see next hot news item)

Read All Strips At Once

In case you missed it, I set up a Collection here in the Achewood Patreon called Read All Strips At Once. You can go in there and click straight through the archive, just like we used to in the old days, when the politicians' hair was brown and the burgers were turkey.
