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

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

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

that is strange. I saw him as looking downwards sadly but now I can also see him looking out at me and it is strange.

This is why God did not make us with vertical lines for eyes.

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

CAPS LOCK IS ALWAYS COMEDY.

OR ELSE YOU WILL BE KILLED.

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

oh man, why do i find this so hilarious?

EVERY. DAMN. TIME.

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.

Attack of the flying b's!

Or just really weird tablature

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.

phillipes frowns for teodore inability

says local man

Let's see... how many wiener jokes is that in this first week's worth of strips?

I've done this. I was calling to cancel my crappy insurance company.
I flushed...

...and I let him hear it...

Usually when they tell you they might record your call is when they pick up the phone...

isn't it?

It's Ctrl-Alt-Del by way of ursine erectile dysfunction!

Ohhhh I get it...
Philippe is still high as balls and thinks the key hole is talking. Took me a while.

I think for those of us that don't know that Phillipe is a 5 year old river otter or even a river otter at all, this strip makes me laugh. Nothing like a bit of toilet humour. Anyway, look at his shape.

He is a sea otter.

Not the first time Philippe will be shocked but a very good shock/despaired face!

[IMGS OFF]

I appreciate the whole Garfield Minus Garfield thing you're doing here, but I'm afraid that on more than a few strips, it's going to eventually sputter out. I don't know what you're going to do after The Party.

I only made 2 or 3 anyway

Well done

I liked them a lot. Let my imagination run wild with possible captions!

Phillipe looks so concerned for Teodor.

We are all concerned, Phillipe You are not alone.
