do YOU love achewood, too?

but in retrospect:

Does Todd have money?

NO.

GOOD.

UH-OH, WHEN YOU WEREN'T LOOKING, TODD SOLD YOUR WIFE'S DEODORANT TO A CREEP.

>>>

and:

YOU ARE IN A VAN.

> inventory

YOU HAVE:
- A WAFFLE-PATTERN BRUISE ON YOUR FACE.
- A HANGOVER

> drop bruise

YOU HAVE MADE THE BRUISE WORSE BY TRYING TO PULL IT AWAY FROM YOUR FACE.

Some new, top notch stuff happening. Pretty lol.

Ragging on Pat is always a good time. I made some vegulon chili over the weekend and kept cracking Pat references about it.

last few strips have been good but god damn it's been like a week between them.

He's been phoning in some weak stuff for about six months now, or whenever he got chased out of California or whatever.

I Sit At The Table kids' magazine

Ray Smuckles is some truth speaking feline.

Here to stay, just like tasty old herpes.

It may take five days between strips, but damn if they aren't funny as hell.

lolz @ alt text

still trying to figure out the concept of a five year old having to buy his way back through his mother's front door

Philippe's mother doesn't have enough money to take care of him herself.

i wanna SCREW til there's no SCREWIN' left to DO

made me think about that line from "graceland" - "my traveling companion is nine five years old"

really curious about where this is going

I sense doom, dread, and disappointment ahead.

steve deneuve is philippe's dad?

that crossed my mind, but can cats produce otters as biological offspring in the achewood universe?

maybe philippe is half cat

considered that too, but he just doesn't look it

steve deneuve is philippe's dad?

he's obviously supposed to be some sort of professional bodyguard/general hard-ass hired to get philippe back to his mum safely.

his last name is french and he's telling philippe stories from his childhood

i thought the stories were researched or something, and he was being paid to be good company???

yeah he's just that good

ahhhh

I will miss Philippe if this is indeed his last run in the series. He's a great jolt of childlike (as opposed to over-sexed cat like) whimsy.

I'm thinking that when Phillipe goes home he will start to age again. Maybe he will be six soon!

So I'm guessing Philippe's "mom" is actually his grandmother...?

Solid guess.

i'm guessing this is a con to get at his $

I def don't think that's it. I think it's more about the disappointment of building up something huge and towering in your mind and then things are simply mundane and mediocre. Your parents look a little older, the reunion isn't only happy, there's all that stuff (like the fact she couldn't take care of him in the first place!) that still hasn't been worked out.

but what's steve deneuve's place in all this??

He's just this guy, who's smart and can see that that old lady can't have a five-year-old. I figure he'll talk to "mom," and she'll gently break it to Philippe that she can't take care of him, he'll secretly be relieved, Steve will take him back to his real home, hugglez. Hopefully they'll get sidetracked on the way back to CA by something totally insane.

Hopefully they'll get sidetracked on the way back to CA by something totally insane.

this. love melancholic aching achewood, but some wild psychedelic onstad hijinks would be appreciated soon.

the new one is sorta Jimmy Corrigan-ish

let's not forget that roast beef is somewhere out there furiously sucking air through a merkin while his plane is going down

thought that was a dream

Yeah, I think that was just Onstad venting about a bad flight experience in a "Fuck You Friday" strip.

WmC very on point.

Phillipe's mom's house is just like my grandma's house...no food that's edible except cereal, weird hours/lots of church on her part, and the only board game she had was The Ungame. I remember reading a lot of Reader's Digest.

The Ungame! Total Christian "ice breaker" type game. And it's visible on the shelf of games in the closet in that one scene in Royal Tenenbaums!

Magic realism is all fine and dandy, but I'm looking forward to the punch on the erection.

Eet pees you off but good, oui?

wtf at marinating shrimp for 17-23 hours

it's how you get that FLAVOR man

Why yes, I do love Achewood too! This latest Philippe story is lovely, but I too look forward to the cockpunch.

Dude's ability to go from zero to creepy as hell in 4.8 seconds is astounding.

not feelin this arc

Nice Pete is a scary dude.

But it's a dare
