Philippe is so concerned with the community thinking about the word 'fag'.

is the part that confounds you the wordDokken? the short version: they are an 80s era terribly awesome shit-band, the kind that has one dude playing on a bone-encrusted guitar

The above comment will be found by archaeologists in 3,000 A.D. who discover the internet as the last remnant of our society.

They will smoke a cigarette, re-read the comment one last time, turn off the computer, put a mercy bullet in its heart, and tell lies about "a society where information was free and all men were scholars."

oh man panel 4 did me in. Right in the middle of a meeting with my laptop. I had to leave.
shmuckeles » neu 1 years ago
oh man, tell me about it. i was all crying and shit. that indignant "Hey!". i still laugh about it
sp1derbaby » pro 4 months ago
I laughed hard. Then stopped. Then started again. Then tried to stop. Then I hid in the toilet for a while and returned to my desk, trying to regather some dignity.

What happened was, I too read this at work (in my lunch hour), and laughed. And then quickly had to think about something else to stop laughing. And then when I got home just now thought 'I will look up that comic again and have a proper good old laugh', and actually the thought of it made me start laughing before I had even opened up my web browser to do so. All just sitting there laughing at my laptop's start up screen. Then I had to explain it to my boyfriend. So it goes.

I love how the stoner Squirrel thinks that offensive homosexual slang is just as bad as Dokken.
vorrishnikov » neu 1 years ago
No, he thinks it's worse.
bixschmix » neu 5 months ago
To be fair, Dokken is pretty bad.
tekende » neu 3 months ago
It's silly to like Dokken!

I used to have a Celica with a license plate frame that said I was a woman.
mortshire » pro 1 years ago
toyota celica.
ezcmac » pro 10 months ago
Well, Celicas are made for women and small Asians.

I think the first 4 panels coulda been the whole comic

oh, i dunno, the "problems in the community" bit is vital character development for our friend Philippe.
kledermans » neu 10 months ago
He is, after all, running for President. He's got an image to maintain.
heccibiggs » neu 5 months ago
Ohhh I totally forgot about that. Ah, in a way that kind of makes it less funny...

I mean, it's sort of better to imagine his worry about causing problems in the community just because... he's just worried about the community. Not because of his impending Presidency.

Still fucking great though.
dominus101 » neu 5 months ago
Philippe seemed less than interested in his presidential run in the last strip that referenced it. I think he is just worried about the community. Philippe doesn't strike me as politically savvy enough to be worried about it the other way. He is just a good (and special) boy.
sargasm » neu 1 years ago
Can Todd read Philippe's mind?
shoinan » pro 1 years ago
That or he was eavesdropping on the earlier conversation. And since dropping eaves is a mighty sin that young squirrel better have some Uri Geller going on.
moraiat » neu 1 years ago
By sometime Todd means: "right now".

Anyone else believe that Phillipe's car somehow resembles Bowser's flying machine thing?
sirptom » pro 8 months ago
Has anyone noticed that Philippe's car is the same as Monkey Boy's in the comics that Onstad did for the Stanford Chaparral?

It's a distinctive look.
spinynorman » neu 2 months ago
You two dudes confuse the shit out of me. Lookit them avatars. Lookit them.

albanyshaker » pro 7 months ago
That's totally what I thought, too!
shoinan » pro 11 months ago
Quite simply, if I was a huge fag, I'd get the "Here comes a huge fag" shirt. But I'm not, I'm a special boy, in every single sense, and as such I have that shirt. And I've already got a cat, thankyou.
achilleselbow » neu 5 months ago
It would only get you some pussy if you live, work, or attend school in the kind of place where people wear messenger bags and listen to Xiu Xiu. I live in that kind of place. I think I will wear a 'huge fag' t-shirt.
paperboy_2000 » pro 11 months ago
Lyle has paired a single note from the horn with each word until he gives 'fag' a nice little flourish at the end.

I like to think that Todd's horn has the identical music.
mattylite » pro 5 months ago
I have discovered, through careful research, that Todd's horn plays the same tune as Todd's open mic song.
ibetso » neu 10 months ago
By panel 2, this one was already a 5 out of 5. By panel 4, it became infinity out of 5.
sidxdeadgod » pro 10 months ago
Lmao, oh jesus, the shoes haha.
dutch » neu 10 months ago
first time i've seen this strip, i don't think i've shot beer out of my nose ever before to anything on the internet.
cailetshadow » pro 10 months ago
Philippe will be all right because Todd will take charge of causing problems in the community.
nicolae » pro 9 months ago
That horn is for highway emergency use ONLY!
buttermoths » neu 7 months ago
Thanks to this strip, when you search for my Achewood sticker'd cell phone with bluetooth, you will find 'A huge fag'.
tourach3 » pro 7 months ago
all i need is that van and some coke and i will be RUUUUDE as hell
sandswipe » neu 5 months ago
I always pictured Phillipe's shoes and guitar playing a warm, friendly recording of his elderly mother saying "Here comes a special boy." I now picture the same exact motherly tone as his car's voice. Awesome.
achilleselbow » pro 5 months ago
I don't understand how Todd can make the comparison - his horn seems to be entirely accurate.

Also, Lyle seems to have gained some subtlety since the days where he would just punch Philippe in the stomach.
spinynorman » neu 2 months ago
Or tell him to shove it, thus killing him.
kelissamunz » neu 5 months ago
It's not even a song, it's just Lyle yelling off-key.
edwell » neu 4 months ago
The squirrel calls the otter, who is several times larger than him, "little guy."
opprobrium » neu 4 months ago
i bought a cadillac el dorado off my grandparents and didn't realize until two months later that the license place said "Grandma's Taxi".
