I like how his wings flutter when he jumps for the Snickers bar.

wrapper and all

Phillipe the Bumblebee does not mess around when it comes to candy bars.

You delicious son of a bitch!

Eat a male dog.

Man, that's your answer to everything.

I threw away my candy bar and I ate the wrapped / and when they told me what I did I burst out in laughter

A bumble-bee! I love the intonation evoked by the hyphen.

Not a bumblebee and NOT a bumble bee but a bumble-bee

I was about to say Bumble-Bee but that would also have been Wrong

I would like it if he was a bumbly-bee.

He has to check his tongue to make sure it is all gone

This fills me with a special kind of glee!

It is an awesome song, though.

Roast Beef is that cool guy on your street who gave out full-sized candy.
He does this because he is from Circumstances.

Guys, not everything Beef does is because he is from Circumstances.

Seriously.

Man, I'm behind you on this 100%, and also Jesus Christ do I wish I had your avatar, but seriously, if you are from Circumstances - and I have been in Circumstances (blessedly brief) - Halloween is the only candy you get, and because everyone around is in Circumstances too they aren't gonna give anything good. Some are even gonna give out Literature (because anyone who really sticks to Jesus in Circumstances is a Dick) and some old ladies are gonna give out nickels and pennies and because they have not had a concept of inflation since Adlai Stevenson fixed his shoes, and then because your awful mom is on a bender you gotta stay with Gramma and she makes you write a thank-you letter to people who sent you along with Jack Chick and old stinking copper.

That is what Circumstances is like on Halloween. If you are from Circumstances come October you're just going to buy up every big-ass candy bar you can find. And chances are pretty good you're not going to know one from the other, or care too much. Life after Circumstances is generally about preventing any further Circumstances.

This is why the dude who made this strip's inevitable Circumstances comment is right. The genre of comment is a toilet seat smoking a cigar, I will give you that. But the sun shines on a dog's ass once in a while.

We used to drive up to the good side of town and go trick-or-treating there. Until some wadsters in a giant two-story ranch gave us each one frackin' Tootsie Roll. I will one day get a decent job, move into the house next door, and do all the shitty-neighbour things I can imagine. Lawn flamingoes, loud rock, naked crying teen-age girls, the whole shebang. And I will fill their parlour with Tootsie Rolls, hiding in the wreckage, then springing out in my zombie-bride costume.

I am a girl with big plans for the future.

They're just going to want to talk about their feelings and eat all the damn Snackwells.

Damn, those other things were annoying, but that's Biblical retribution.

"I curse thee to forever have thine ladies talk about their feelings, and their only action in bed shall be to eat thine Snackwells messily!

And the sucka did hella avert his eyes, for he knew that he was cold cursed."

My girlfriend loved this strip until she read the continuing storyline.

Philippe's bee costume is missing its stinger.

Philippe would never sting anyone!

It has a hugger though.

And that hugger is Philippe.

Philippe conquered that whole-size Snickers bar.

Such an angry eater.

His shoes should be saying "Here Comes a Special Bee"
