mustard colored skin? not what I had in mind.
that, and, the way the words are written, sounds like Vlad on the phone!

You were under the correct assumption.
deusoma » neu 2 years ago
Maybe a little bit darker, but yeah, pretty much.

All along he was Winnie the Pooh's crass cousin. Who knew?

It is the color of anger over past non-canadian bacon pizzas.

Teodor is a WHITE BEAR!
deimosrising » neu 2 years ago
Teodor is white, Ray is white...just which characters aren't white, overmedicated? or should I say...DIXIE DAN?!
kazad » neu 2 years ago
HAHA! Yeah...it's weird but great how such a complex, colorful (forgive the pun) strip is so much better in simple black and white...

Ray is grey.
belgand » neu 1 years ago
Raymond is brown. Roast Beef is grey. It always looks odd to me.

Folks hate your opinion.

Eh, color issues aside, I have had this experience on the phone many times. If only they were all love stories.

I have been on both sides of this conversation

Just the other day I was phoned by an american, out of the blue. I know what you mean.

It's like trying to carry on a phone conversation with one of those browser-based "soundboards" of celebrity audio clips...

"I love canadian bacon"... "arrggghh"... "I kill you last"... "now...plain zero"

Looks like Hajul wasn't always an electrical engineer.
aperson » neu 2 years ago
But English Speaking Pizza telephone man has the cadences and linguistic mannerisms of an inhabitant of the Indian subcontinent, not those of an East Asian.
sargasm » neu 2 years ago
Hajul is the only man on this planet with the tenacity required to do anything a thousand times, be it loving English or quitting phone calls.
philosophe » pro 2 years ago
But Hajul is indeed a "fancy son of a bitch from India".
aperson » neu 2 years ago
Dang, that's the case. But he talks like an east asian in that other strip. Maybe Cropes is Ignorant of Foreign Cadences. He is after all a simple man.

When I read the strip, I always hear Manuel from the Moose/Germans episode of Fawlty Towers.

"Hello. How are you? I speak Eng-a-lish! I learned it... from a book!"

I unofficially retract this lame. When I gave it, I didn't realize that you were performing a service which was, at the time, helpful.
farqussus » neu 1 years ago
i have a lot of this to do through the archives.
el_cameroni » pro 2 years ago
I get the feeling that Lie Bot has opened a pizza place... He can speak English, but he'll get your order wrong anyway.

ehh. when i look at these earlier colour strips, i think onstad gets the colours almost right, but for some reason decided to use each colour's pukiest incarnation.
yomimono » neu 1 years ago
Maybe he coloured them in England.
luckypyjamas » neu 2 years ago
again with the tiny phonebook
bananacup » neu 2 years ago
For some reason I always thought of Phillipe as some sort of light blue color before seeing the first color strips.
salvar » neu 1 years ago
I wish Taco Bell could feel love like this.
johnnyrocker » neu 1 years ago
fuck this one made me laugh at every panel
dysphemism » pro 1 years ago
Jesus.
This has to be my sixth time through the archive, and that last panel still made me nearly choke to death on my yoghurt.
WHEN WILL I LEARN
