That's why they use a clickbait headline that lies, and leave out the words "people believe."

Until we get real AI that can believe clickbait headlines, I tend to assume EVERYTHING is prefixed with "people believe..."

Re:Wow. by SendBot · 2008-09-29 10:28 · Score: 1 · on Achewood Creator on NPR

I've been reading achewood regularly for a few years now, and I think the radio interview did well in pointing out that the comic is about the characters and dialogue more than complex artwork or the "heh" factor. C.and.H compares better to Sinfest, and those are very different types of comic. For achewood, the dialogue is the real nut meat and it really needs that many panels to fill its proper space. As chris says in the interview, it's the "sunday comics format".

During the interview (did you listen?), Chris talked about how the story arc for the book he's discussing went on for about three months. Sometimes readers lose interest in those periods, and so be it.

One could say Picasso is a bad artist compared to Rembrandt because his portraits aren't as realistic.

There's a link at the site directing npr listeners to reader favorites. This one is recent and stands well on its own. Philippe is such a heartwarming character:
