Yeah, but look how many chubbies he got out of it.

Is... is it really that hard?

Your avatar, all smiling and yelling at terebikun, made me laugh harder than the comic did. And the comic was really

Or Strawberry Rite. (I think this was only mentioned in the blogs)

philippe isnt black....

Don't forget that he gets a lot of help making these from Roast Beef.

And he is quite well-versed in Humphrey Bogart quotes. You would say "Play it again, Sam," to him and he would just scowl at you.

Bogie would be a terrible priest. I'm just saying.

He plays a missionary priest of sorts in "The Left Hand of God". He has a gun, but doesn't punch anyone in a confessional.

You just WAIT til I build my time machine. Swear to God, I am getting this bitch made. It's always...been a simple dream of mine to see Bogie in such a manner as this.

Automatic death penalties.

The alt text caused me to laugh out loud, thus qualifying this strip to be rated a five.

Who's L.B.?

Lie Bot.

Lie Bot probably has better taste in music than Lester Bangs.

For some reason I always assumed it was Lyle and that I'd missed a reference to a last name. I think that line just seems like a Lyle line to me.

. . . all the stabbings (shakes head); Christ, I'm glad I'm not president.

The little shaver feels the need to apologise for boasting about his riddle prowess.

Pride is a Sin. Sorry, Jesus!

Best Friday Facts so far.

I like to imagine that the line "Nice Pete is over, and he is saying that in the other room" implies that Nice Pete isn't allowed near Phillipe anymore after the secret ice cream incident.

I'm surprised they let Nice Pete within 500 feet of the little guy.

Man I got no words about that riddle.

I was surprised.

And I'm also sorry for having en ego.

I'm surprised Philippe acts so nonchalant about Nice Pete being over after that whole episode with the secret ice cream place.

I'm also surprised that no one else seems to see his riddle about a guitar as an unintentional double entendre. Though what I'm thinking of lives in a furry cave when it IS in use.

No, that was much my initial response as well...

I'm pretty sure everyone sees it, it's just...I guess they don't think it's worth commenting on?

everyone who didnt make a comment to that effect is more mature than you. grow up, sir.

Is it me, or does Philippe look a little haggard on this column?

This is what it looks like when someone comments before reading the whole strip. Right there.

I always wondered if that's a shirtless Onstad throwing the medicine ball back and forth in this one. Anyone know for sure?

I realized later that it isn't, because someone in the comments of another strip posted a website with pictures of Onstad, and the guy in this strip doesn't look anything like him. A friend maybe?

Perhaps Onstad employed the use of Google Image Search or some such tool.

in case anyone didn't know, the real answer to the riddle is Man. in the morning of his life, man crawls on all fours, in the afternoon he walks upright, and in the evening of his life he walks with the aid of a stick.

in mythology, it is also the riddle the Sphinx asked people seeking entry into Thebes; only Oedipus answered correctly.

Oedipus... that motherfucker

Oh god, I'm so sorry everyone but I just had to.


Also not every old dude walks with a stick so the Sphinx is full of shit.

Wait, wait that can't be right. If you take 24 hours as a man's entire life and start 0.00, you would probably start walking on two legs after like 1 hour, and keep walking on two untill something like the late evening (unless you had an accident ofcourse).

On second thought, the riddle was invented when people got like 40, tops, so it actually would be quite right.

I hate that riddle. It's completely stupid and cheats itself by using the various parts of the day as a metaphor without informing the riddlee.

Somewhere, the Sphinx is crying. She tries so hard!

Nice Pete is completely right guys. None of this fancy cook book nonsense will fill you up better than some country home fries and some eggs.

Isn't it weird how Phillipe has the hang of the bold and italics functions, but not the underline?
