Yes. Maybe the funniest Cornelius joint. Onstad's being modest.

chug-a-lug's eyes.

Chubby for Big Baby Jesus.

... and a chubby for you, too!

It's a different kind of funny when your name is Janet.

do you have a complaining girlfriend named janet, or what?

There's a bitch on the cover of Janet

What I mean is, I wonder if that's the book that introduced Oscar and his peculiar trait, which he took with him on a variety of educational adventures

It's not for me.

You would know, at 107.

No, it isn't.

who keeps laming these replies? People are fucking annoying. Not JUST girlfriends, but the Venn diagram has some heavy overlap.

Writing a children's book to tell your girlfriend she's a complaining harpy is either extremely classy or schizophrenic. Since it's Cornelius, there is only one option.

Yup. It's either extremely classy schizophrenic.

No. Not really. Not if you try.

more importantly, is the girlfriend iris, his first wife? or did the girlfriend come later?

The Janet book and cover just makes it for me. I want to make that into a nametag for some people.

poor chug a lug, it is hard to be the train who drank

To be fair, it's hard to resist a bottle on wheels.

What about the Mayor of B-Town? You think he has it easy?

The crown weighs heavy.

Chug-a-lug....!

You too, huh? (Her real name was Patty.)

Its a slipper slope from Chug-a-Lug to Breast Attack on Fuck Mountain captioning, but Cornelius Bear has handled it with grace, as he does all things.

heh heh. Slippery

Now there's an awesome mental image: combining the best parts of slip'n'slide, alcohol abuse, and tittays.

Would that all our slip'n'slide adventures turn out thus...

Alt text: "It's still not funny, it's character development."

Has Cornelius a dark side? Maybe the train wasn't a train... BUT HIM??? The mind boggles... ;-)

*gestures*

FUCK this post!

Cornelius, who could virtually be considered an anthropomorphic animal, writes children's books featuring anthropomorphic animals? I would expect the children's books of anthropomorphic animals to feature, I don't know, monkeys.

I give this comic a five, if only because one of those books is about my life.

Or did your pants grow too small?

My previous post no longer applies.

You are now a train who is sober?

Mr. Bear went through a rough patch after Iris Gambol died.

Janet is a sock puppet by the way.

I wonder if Philippe's obsession with mayors came from reading Mr. Bear's book?

Another case in which a near-perfect comic was put over the edge by comments. You guys rule.

from childrens books to porno captions how the classy have fallen

Oscar looks sort of punk.

I think you'll find he's an overweight emo with standard skinny black jeans.

This comic sees into the FUTURES... or Onstad was just drawing a Piggy Goth.

Actually with a chain linked to his keys and some suspenders he COULD be entirely Punk.

Cornelius neglects to mention the unpublished sequel, Janet: The Wife Who Was Always Tired or Had a Headache When It Was Time to Have Sex.

I *badly* want to read both of those books!!!

I find the first two books disturbing.
