Woo! I am definitely not afraid of the fucking DENTIST
overmedicated » neu 2 years ago
Hehe, nice.
wino » pro 2 years ago
anyone ever actually do shots of scope? its the only scenario where you vomit uncontrollably and can still make out with a girl in the following seconds.
killerlimpet » neu 2 years ago
No, but they drank Listerine at my high school.

I hate people.
norrin » neu 2 years ago
I'd love to see what type of girls will make out with a dude who puked 10 seconds ago. I have no doubt they exist, I just want to see them.
bourbonsamurai » pro 2 years ago
They're best to be looked at only AFTER you drink the scope.
notcool » pro 8 months ago
These girls ain't "focusers."
fuzzyshoo » neu 5 months ago
Avatar accompanies post well, short pause, eyes bug out and he says "Focusers". Ocular Shenanigans chubby for you.
daedala_x » neu 1 years ago
I feel the same way about hot lesbians.
zapatos » neu 1 years ago
I've been with three.

I could show you the world...
mikeronomicon » neu 1 years ago
I don't dude, they are probably hell of nasty, the kind of girl that would let a dude puke on her vag and be ok with it. That is dog shit. That is nasty.
rasalghul » neu 1 months ago
You can see them on Girls with Low Self Esteem
jollysaintpete » neu 1 years ago
actually the scope isn't totally necessary for that...[i]promise
jollysaintpete » neu 1 years ago
hah, i wanted italics, but that worked out better than most code failures...
greenkoolayd » neu 6 months ago
how desperate does one have to be to drink scope(perfume, listerine, vanilla extract, etc)? its similar to those weirdo fucks that drink Rx cough syrup recreationally...
deimosrising » pro 2 years ago
First Lyle in Misfits shirt, first Sex funeral. An historic strip.

Note for the interested: Scope is not a good thing to be intoxicated by.
ambala » neu 2 years ago
I never want to see a band's first gig, even if there is Scope.
woodenteeth » neu 8 months ago
A band should stay in the fucking rehearsal studio until they're good and ready.
juancarlos » pro 2 years ago
Another four, but yeah, the strip being Cornelius and Todd's adventures really weirds me out. I wonder if Cornelius was really old from the get-go.
mortshire » neu 2 years ago
the bathrobe and pince-nez seem to indicate "well-aged, like scotch."
shutup_shutup » neu 1 years ago
Determining age for the characters based on appearance when they were acting primarily as alive stuffed animals is a little questionable. They would have been constructed (sewn I guess?) in their current forms. The Philippe doll could be older than the Mr. Bear but Mr. Bear would still appear more stately than the young/retarded Philippe.
billyamericana » neu 2 years ago
Listerine is $2.
jokercross » neu 2 years ago
That is way too much for scope.
a_dude » neu 2 years ago
Lyle gets so drunk he shits himself.
rapid_roy » neu 2 years ago
Every band starts somewhere; I guess Lyle played for hobos in an alley.
wonelove » pro 1 years ago
no no, the band members are the hobos in an alley.
everything_is_a_hat » neu 2 years ago
I wonder what kind of scummy venue of a dive bar Lyle's gig is at. At least now Lyle wears a T-shirt.
stuart » neu 2 years ago
It was called the Moonlight Café. It was a barn with the roof blown off.
tellumo » pro 2 years ago
The band is called "Sex Funeral" and they charge $1 for a shot of Scope. This is the kind of gig where if you still have all your teeth at the end of the night, you got RIPPED OFF.
max » neu 2 years ago
Now that's my kind of funeral.
sargasm » neu 2 years ago
Teodor is ENORMOUS here.
direhaggis » pro 2 years ago
The moustache no longer resembles a stealth bomber.
em2 » pro 1 years ago
Yeah, and the Misfits shirt is in place too. All that's missing is a bottle of booze (or Scope).

tombsgrave » pro 2 years ago
You know, I always assumed the Scope meant that whatever was going to happen was going to leave the worst taste imaginable in the viewer's mouth, to the point where paying a buck for a shot of Scope sounded like a reasonable proposition. The alcoholic content sailed passed me like a poorly-aimed paper airplane.
wae » neu 2 years ago
I think it may be better that way.

I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure.
woodenteeth » neu 8 months ago
Every paper airplane I ever aimed never hit target either. Your analogy missed me like a poorly aimed punch in the face.
lokier » neu 2 years ago
a dollar a scope shot is pretty expensive, non?
spectre » neu 2 years ago
See, you don't have to present an ID to buy a bottle of scope . . . and if they catch, like a whole bunch of 17-year-olds all Scoped out, the cops still ca'nt make a bust. Strategy, man. Strategy is everything.
ngazin » pro 2 years ago
I performed a show as Sex Funeral. It was awesome. We got in a lot of trouble because we said that all the other bands playing at CBGBs Downstairs Lounge that night were awful and that we were the best band in the world. The next band shoved their amp at one of my band guys and argued with us.
cpnglxynchos » neu 2 years ago
for some reason, i find that a great story.

chubbied.
laserblade » neu 1 years ago
It ends with a very Onstadian non-punchline. Actually I think I'll chubby it too.
greenkoolayd » neu 6 months ago
you are most assuredly lying.
nerdjcrudbird » neu 2 years ago
i'll take 3!
rowboat » pro 2 years ago
For a relatively minor character, Lyle has undergone more bodily and facial hair-related transformations from Then to Now than anyone. More than Star Jones, even.
sje46 » neu 1 years ago
WOW MORE SO THAN EVENSTAR JONES!!!!!
<3<3<3
I LOVE YOU ROWBOAT . .. .FROM THE FUTURE!!!!!!
rowboat » pro 1 years ago
*bro grabs*
i_love_kate » neu 10 months ago
Bro grabs.
greenkoolayd » neu 6 months ago
is that a thug-hug? (that tough guy thing where dudes who are afraid of committing to being casually affection to another dude clasp opposite hands and half hug at the same time.....)
rowboat » pro 6 months ago
No, a bro grab is just a regular hug followed by a blowjob.
greenkoolayd » neu 6 months ago
gross. dudehugs are for homosexuals.......
rowboat » pro 6 months ago
It's only right and natural.
fineoakstructure » neu 6 months ago
Ohhh. Now I get this whole thing. I came across this strip via the random function two days ago, and just a few minutes ago, via the same function, came across the strip where rowboat finds sje's first post, and sje threatens to go make fun of rowboat's first post. And he sorta did.

Huh.
rowboat » pro 6 months ago
Yeah. We have fun.
rowboat » pro 6 months ago
I guess 1 years is the highest assetbar can count. That was definitely more than 1 years ago.
fineoakstructure » neu 6 months ago
I think after 12 months and before 24 months counts as being in the "1 year ago" range. There are older posts listed as "2 years ago"
rowboat » pro 6 months ago
It seems like I have seen some "2 years ago" posts now that I think about it. However, my above post was definitely made more than two years ago, so make of it what you will.
fineoakstructure » neu 6 months ago
(I'm probably not gonna think about it too much.)
rowboat » pro 6 months ago
(You fucking know you will.)
fineoakstructure » neu 2 weeks ago
You were right, I now think about it a lot during my archive trips.

God dammit.

Crap.
rowboat » pro 2 weeks ago
For what it's worth, it now says 2 years. I guess I was just a few months off.
pillbot » pro 2 years ago
haha...we did shots of Scope in junior high...it was free.
greenkoolayd » neu 6 months ago
how desperate does one have to be to drink scope(perfume, listerine, vanilla extract, etc)? its similar to those weirdo fucks that drink Rx cough syrup recreationally...
envika » neu 2 years ago
Mr. Bear clearly disapproves of Scope. Because Listerine is better.
gbeaton » pro 2 years ago
A shot of Scope is better than a shot of Aqua Velva, this is truth.
i_pose_4_nolan » neu 2 years ago
Sex Funeral-A band for which I have the greatest respect.
snowman » neu 2 years ago
Lyle came into his own with this strip.
jjg » pro 2 years ago
Kids be all at drinking mouthwash for the 'alcohol' around my little nephew's hangouts. Honestly, if they laced milk with LSD and charged a dollar a shot NOBODY would ever get calcium deficiency. It's a big problem where I come from. Brittle bones. Gran has it.
lux » neu 1 years ago
Moloko plus is where it's at.
odweed » pro 2 years ago
Should be closer to 5 :)
thatgunskid » pro 2 years ago
that was great.
aristagoras » pro 1 years ago
This is the first glimpse of the true Lyle. Even with the strip no longer worried about preserving a concept of housebound stuffed animals, it's still quite Lyle to sell Scope shots.
babeeazz » pro 1 years ago
this is the first one i've read that's made me laugh out loud. granted, i've only read about 8 so far.
hellame » neu 1 years ago
SCOOOOPE...minty fresh!
sparhawk » pro 1 years ago
In the days before story arcs we missed out on the rivalry between Sex Funeral and Connie's band, Ethelbert and the Silly old Things.
wonglers » neu 1 years ago
Lyle replaced his alcohol addiction with Scope. It helped him lose the weight.
aljazeera » neu 1 years ago
I had a teacher that poured whiskey and scope into his coffee. Lyle and him would make a power duo.
howl » neu 7 months ago
As someone who once drank coffee after brushing their teeth, I find this horrifying.
juggler » neu 6 months ago
Téodor and Cornelius are in essentially the same positions as the previous strip. They replace Philippe with... with Lyle.
