Like many fellow nerds, I began reading Achewood after being introduced to it by a friend several years ago. I admit I threw it away after deciding it was needlessly incomprehensible and did not feature enough swear words to be truly funny. Of course, like many others, I returned to Achewood and was amazed by the insight, humour and epicurean sensibilities that do not exist in any other comic, online or not.

So, it was with great excitement that I finally met the creator of the comic, Chris Onstad, at a Wednesday night signing of his latest Achewood book, The Great Outdoor Fight at the Beguiling.

NDJ Books on Yonge Street is one of Toronto's hidden gems of a used bookstore. But a visit here is more than just about what's on the shelves - it's about the guy behind the counter.
