I think this was later proved to be incorrect. Heresy?

I do recall a later contradiction.

I think maybe they sent him to some sort of physical therapist.

Nay, evolution.

I think this joke was written with Phillipe as a retard, but he was later retconned to be 5 instead, so he lost the gross mouth feature.

He was very special.

I was expecting "Here Comes A Special Boy" but got "Mongoloid" instead. Lucky I like Devo.

Either way, it's really gross.

Teodor's face cracks me up.

Mouths are creepy! But this is still one of my favorite strips!
terrainasaur » neu 2 years ago

daedala_x » neu 1 years ago
Not if the other one's Philippe's.

That is when the adverb moves from "pretyty" to "very"
ambala » neu 2 years ago
Horrifying in that "can't look away" kind of way.
billyamericana » neu 2 years ago

Great icon/comment synchronicity.

Avatar makes it work. Chubby.
a_dude » pro 2 years ago
he is only five... and Cornelius's "oh my face" is priceless. as well as Teodor's grimace.
rach4ael » neu 2 years ago

Tops of the morning to you awesome strip.
theoneyouwant » neu 2 years ago

neitherman » pro 2 years ago
I liked Philippe is Standing on It, but this is the one that really got me hooked.
max » pro 2 years ago
You shouldna done that, he's just a boy, poor lil feller.

I imagine this comment being voiced by Carl from Sling Blade.
direhaggis » pro 2 years ago
Like a sweet-mannered car wreck. Still, he is good at talking with his mouth closed.

When I first came to Achewood and started working through the archives the previous strips got me warmed up, and this was the one that really smacked home with legitimate laugh out load moment. Stark physical comedy, beautifully done. Kudos, Onstad!

Cornelius is tiny!
_cheesekayke » neu 2 years ago
Indeed.
bhlaab » neu 2 years ago
RETCON!

hilariously disturbing
nerdjcrudbird » neu 2 years ago
this may have been the first one that I realized this is a special comic, for special people.
dskim » neu 1 years ago
Woah, we are the same person!
saturnbeads » neu 2 years ago
Teodor always makes the greatest expressions!
joamiq » pro 2 years ago
This is the first strip that I thought was hilarious (though "Bedtime" came close).
phy » neu 2 years ago
I imagine it opening in a slow, laborious process, with heavy mechanical noises. Excited fanfare is blaring. Thunderbird 1 and 2 fly out.
wonelove » pro 2 years ago
Teodor and Cornelius' faces.
snowman » pro 2 years ago
I wonder if this came out of Onstad trying to figure out how to draw Philippe with his mouth open.

This strip reminds me of what I love about Achewood: there are no rules. Onstad can make this joke and then later show Philippe opening his mouth in a different way, and it all just barely hangs together. It works.
coco » pro 2 years ago
I like how Cornelius covers his mouth with both of his little hands. Shock abounds!
jjg » con 2 years ago
This ruins Philippe's innocence completely, now that he's half-shark-half-seal. GROSS
chachibenji » neu 2 years ago
I imagine that when he opens his mouth it makes such a sound as "fwup". Like something that should not be.
farqussus » neu 1 years ago
then a bustling woman puts her banking in him.
edwell » neu 1 years ago
He says "Okay Teodor" and then opens his mouth.
voloshg » neu 1 years ago
His right lip folds out.
sharpdresseddan » neu 1 years ago
this was i guess just an one-off non-canon joke. funny as all hell though
nosearmy » pro 1 years ago
Philippe is haunted by memories of his old mouth.
paby » pro 1 years ago
its fun to try to make that face
sparhawk » pro 1 years ago
Man don't even front you ain't got those otter skillz...
wonglers » neu 1 years ago
It would be pretty gross to watch him eat.
paby » neu 1 years ago
It opens like a trash compactor!
dumase » neu 1 years ago
i have NO idea why

but when phillipe opens his mouth i picture him making the sound that the man with angry ticks that fire out of his nipples makes, in Don Hertzfeldt's "Rejected."
kikineko » neu 1 years ago
Wait... so Philippe is born without an upper lip?
scorpio_nadir » pro 1 years ago
Haw. crassic.
sardoniclaconic » pro 1 years ago
Is anyone else having trouble reconciling Cornelius' voice and the words "Okey doke?"

I love this strip. Phillipe's widdle mouth is so cute ^-^
mattboy » pro 1 years ago
I hope I'm not taking anyone's joy away from Philippe but it reminds me of the people who can guffaw
lolsworth » neu 1 years ago
Does anyone else find the way Philippe says "Okay Téodor" creepy
skavid » pro 8 months ago
So, how many people have actually tried to make Philippe's facial expression here?
howl » neu 7 months ago
I make it when I am disappointed
valorgigo » neu 7 months ago
I'm often disappointed when I try to make faces I see in comics.
