Man, older achewood strips were a lot more punchline-based.

Yeah, but this one had two punchlines- The cable company picking up the phone the second Teodor walked into the bathroom, and Phillipe mis-hearing Teodor. I think this strip is at least a 4.

A strip gets a 4 for me if it produces an audible chuckle. This strip is a 4.

Once upon a time Phillipe's mouth was horrifying even when closed.

Today's Phillipe does not understand this joke.

Phillipe doesn't understand it here, either.

He is just sad because he can't find Teodor, like a dog who follows you around a room.

...And it seems like he kind of breaks the 4th wall with a "stare directly at the camera during the punchline" move.

What's funny is T's still on hold.

Yeah I totally didn't think that little Phillipe would understand...

CAPS LOCK IS ALWAYS COMEDY.

CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.

BUT EVEN CRUISE CONTROL NEEDS STEERING.

OR ELSE YOU WILL BE KILLED.

Erectile dysfunction tech support? Where's Ray, this'll make a mint!

Goddamnit Ray can still sport wood why won't you believe a guy

someday, my bathroom walls will consist of nothing but Achewood bathroom jokes.

The baby otter is sad for the teddy's problems.

Modemtown sounds like a rad BBS

Now honestly, we've all done this on long tech support holds

If you make me wait an inordinate amount of time, you may have to talk to me while I drop a deuce. It's only fair.

"I'm sorry about the wait."
"It's okay. You had a kickin' elevator-music cover of Comfortably Numb playing."
(actual dialog on Apple tech support)

Phillipe is worried about Teodor's penis.

I would like to think that in the 4th panel Phillipe would have counseled T.

oh man, why do i find this so hilarious?

EVERY. DAMN. TIME.

The next public toilet I visit is getting "OH HI. YEAH. IT HASN'T BEEN UP IN THREE DAYS" scrawled on the wall.

I'm withholding my chubby until I see photographic evidence of this.

Teodor should know that the very act of saying "They're not going to pick up in the next few minutes" Practically ENSURES they will pick up in the next minute or two.

<b>i know how teodor feels.</b>

Oh, I've been there. Wait ages for the tech support people for my ISP to pick up, the second I have to go to the bathroom they're getting ready to talk with me. Plus, my phone was not cordless so that led to some other problems.
