After waiting 5 years for Onstad to do something with this set-up, I'm beginning to think it's just not gonna happen.

i like to think that philippe is just being philippe, and teodor uses the opportunity to mess with mr. bear.
who of course is not fooled.

I've always been curious myself.

Baby otters are called "pups" or puppies. Grown up otters use rocks as crude tools to smash open shellfish. I wonder what happend to Philippe.?..
jdhenry105 » neu1 years ago
He was smashed open by a shellfish.

As a pup, Philippe was tragically deprived of sticking his arms into the toilet.

Is it just me or does Cornelius' glasses look like a bicycle?

"How so?" IS the punch line. Cornelius stands there thinking about all the stuff that could happen to a stuffed otter baby, and when he realizes the whole idea is absurd, he calls Teodor on it.

Ditto everything you said, except that this one _is_ funny to me. I imagine Teodor and Mr. Bear standing outside the bathroom for hours wondering what it might be, while the little otter keeps at it, whatever 'it' might be.
Now, "Philippe is standing on it", I don't get, but it *is* Achewood #1, and that Counts.

If you prefer one-strip-one-punchline jokes, PVP is right over there. Now let us enjoy the early strips for what they are: rough diamonds.

Yes!

The real punchline is that you'd expect Cornelius to ask what happened. Instead, he politely inquires, "How so?" His obviously confused (or suspicious) speech leads to an awkward, humorous situation.

Look who's being a dick about terms.

This might explain why Philippe does not live with his mom?
stuart » pro11 months ago
Arguably, this is where Mr. Bear started to become Cornelius.

We've all seen Philippe's arms. How the heck can he even reach the water?
techiebabe » pro2 months ago
The same way he gives.....Huuugs!

somehow this strip gets me pretty much everytime and i cannot measure why

Phillipe is the only character who really hasn't changed at all over the years... I'm glad.
farqussus » neu3 weeks ago
This has been said about three different characters now.

looking at old strips like this is kind of like looking at baby photos. it was all so innocent, so harmless back then.
quartzblade » neu5 months ago
what a terrible misunderstanding

"when he was a pup"? Philippe is always 5
