He himself can't, because he's innocent and five. But it's for that fact that it's always him that's in the messed up situations. If Freddy Krueger were being terrorised by Michael Myers, nobody would be scared.

Well yeah, if I was five I'd be terrified in most of those situations... But that's the joy of Phillipe- he does it for you!
He is a Special Boy.

I would scream and scuttle away, too.

I would have rated this strip higher if it didn't completely freak me out.

nobody cares about what you think either, or me, yet hundreds of us insist on posting our opinions and reading those of others. The singing cartoon girl disagrees with you. This is not lame.

Holy crap someone likes something that you don't! They must be below you.

My favorite Teodor moment.
epicurus » neu1 years ago
This one caught me totally off-guard with how hilarious it is.
chaesar » pro1 years ago
This strip (mostly Teodor's reaction) is "laugh loud enough to get you fired" funny.
gmagnido » pro1 years ago
All the tough guys use Paul Mitchell. ALL of them.
afkpuz » neu11 months ago
I use Paul Mitchell and can verify this.
Tea Tree Mint Shampoo baby. It BURNS the sexy right into your scalp.

It's all about the last panel. Hairglasses!
djwhiterabbit » pro1 years ago
i never knew phillipe could be so hell of disturbing.
this strip would be ten times more horrifying in color.
theodore's scuffle-fleeing has me laughing so hard every time i look, all the way around the corner

Bruce Willis needs no shaver to get that effect.
joeyramoney » neu1 years ago
that was a strange reaction.
pitseleh » pro1 years ago
Onstad, why did you think of that though?
Why would you think of that?
quardox » pro5 months ago
Onstad, you thought of this?
How come?

WHY FIND OUT
cousinted » pro11 months ago
You'll be happy to know that this strip also hates you.
deusoma » con10 months ago
I understand this strip, but I don't get why Phillipe's haircut scaring Teodor is supposed to be funny.
dropkickpikachu » con8 months ago
How is it NOT supposed to be funny?
zem » neu8 months ago
Illegal ghost bikes??? What?? Huh? He's standing on it???
tinhand » neu7 months ago
It's funny because Teodor reacts in such an extreme way, as if a shaven Philippe is basically the sum of all his fears personified. As if he then has to spend the next week in therapy before he can come back to the strip in time for Rays toilet party.
deusoma » pro6 months ago
Ohhhhhhh. Now I'm imagining Teodor reliving some horrible childhood incident involving a shaven otter, and it's retroactively hilarious.
gormster » neu10 months ago
What... happened to his nose?
envika » neu9 months ago
it's still there...i think...
jalapenoenema » pro10 months ago
I've laughed out loud at Achewood before, but this is the first time that I laughed so loud I couldn't breathe.
killingthejay » neu9 months ago
philippe looks so tough teodor scuffles away in intimidated horror. this is why he felt he should change to something less scary, like harry potter.
christ, philippe is mega nasty here.
dallovich » pro8 months ago
I never noticed before but Téodor's pants are pretty silly.
charchar » neu4 months ago
I picture them as being like violet brocade, like King Lear would wear.
pyro_ike » pro8 months ago
Teodor's face and exactly repeated screams totally make this one.
steerpike66 » pro8 months ago
It's like that scene at the end of Hannibal, with ray Liotta's exposed brain. Ray Liotta is kind of a tough guy too, so the rule still stands.
c_dizzle » pro8 months ago
Téodore's reaction makes bearable the horror of Philippes buzz-cut.
meowmix » pro6 months ago
Isn't this one of the few times we actually see Teodor's bottom lip?
Lurk mode had to come off to provide the chubbie for your service to the Achewood community. Especially helpful for noobs like me who start at the beginning of the archive.
numberkillinger » pro4 months ago
you are awesome
chachibenji » neu5 months ago
I want so badly to see Teodor's reaction to Philippe Potter there, considering what just being Philippe Willis did to him.
I wonder who's hair products that is? I too use the Paul Mitchell leave in conditioner.
saulbellow » neu1 months ago
The inspiration for the very small counter with nothing but Paul Mitchell, a horse-hair brush and a razor on it could only have come from a recent barbershop visit by Mr. Onstad.
No such small hair-product counter exists in any home. Not in any home in this country, anyway.*

This is right up there with the one where Philippe opens his mouth.
