Truly the finest way to conclude a tale.

Brilliant!

Man, the Dutch are kind of assholes, huh

it cannot be a coincidence that Dutch and Douche sound so much alike...

...when said in a crowded, noisy room.
antbrejjn » neu 5 months ago
what a coincidence that i come upon this strip only 30 mins after getting all sorts of worked up over some retarded dutch people down at the bar i work at. gah, i'd love to vent my anger and explain why they got me so riled up, but i need to stop thinking of them asap >_<

I feel like this was successful in being the most awful story to tell a little kid

You'd think Philippe would just avoid that robot after a while.

Michael O'Donaghue (National Lampoon, Saturday Night Live) now has a rival. Too bad M. O'D is dead. Brain hemmorrage - boom.

Lie Bot's last comment is exactly what I cheerfully said when we were all filing out of No Country for Old Men

Just the notion that the light in the darkness is just a dream. What a nice movie.
mrslickster » neu 4 months ago
You have to give credit to lie bot, he didn't mention what the priest did to the boy while he was determining just how dead he was.

Whooo! definitely not.

much like the story of pinnochio, this has been changed much over the years to become the little dutch boy story we are all familiar with today.Onstad actually represents the historical truth behind the tale.

Lie Bot Phillipe = Comedy gold.
stuart » neu 1 years ago
I don't know why the plus signs disappear, man.

Lie Bot - (-Philippe) = Comedy Gold

There you go.

Math genius!
mattylite » neu 1 months ago
Somewhere a ways back some people figured out some plus sign alternatives, but this is way way better. Lie Bot really is Comedy Gold once you take away the absence of Philippe.

of course the dutch have a place to send people to be killed
achilleselbow » neu 5 months ago
Why'd you go and say that? You know that sooner or later someone's gonna come along and make a Holocaust joke.
firesign » neu 4 months ago
Had to play that card, didn't you? I'll show you. I wil.

Two guys, one of them Jewish, are walking through the maple orchards in Canada. They're looking for good trees to tap (checking by knocking on them), so they can get sap to make syrup. They're having no luck , and the non-Jewish guy says "Man, checking all these trees is such a hollow cause."
The Jewish guy gets really offended, whirls on him and says "What the HELL did you just say to me?"

There. Is that what you wanted, achilleselbow? Or were you expecting something about Volkswagens and ashtrays?

They call it the oven.

The Dutch Oven.

How many other strips feature Philippe in those adorable fucking jammies?

Oh Liebot, you whacky mentally scarring jokester you!

You would expect Onstad to have an off-day after such an epically brilliant arc. But no.
epicurus » pro 1 years ago
My Non-achewood friends have literally fallen over alughing after reading this.

And as someone who has read the entire unedited Brothers Grimm I can tell you Lie Bot's story is within 20% of being several actualy german folk tales.

I am just going to paraphrase what I would have normally put here by saying "I agree with this comic."

This is the best fairy tale in the history of the known universe. My kids are gonna be real screwed up.

The end! No moral!
steerpike66 » neu 1 years ago
I love to imagine the evil speed that Lie Bot employs after he delivers the coup de grace. 'The End! No Moral!: Philippe is plunged into darkness with that callous click.

a good way to unwind after the great outdoor fight

NO MORAL?! WHYYY?

Poor philippe. :( All he needed was the first panel of LieBot's story.

i like philippe's matching bunny slippers and jammies
falseprophet » neu 9 months ago
Before, Onstad used complete black to represent darkness, but this time he went with negative space - not just so that he could depict Philippe's persistent reaction of horror at Lie Bot's tale, but because it also symbolizes Philippe's inner experience: the realization that his entire world has turned on its head. Up is down. Good is bad. Pleasure is pain. White is black.

Why can't I rate this higher than five?

I stuck my finger in a dyke once...
wittyname » neu 8 months ago
I'm so glad my mind wasn't the only one who jumped to that upon reading this strip.

What is a dyke doing letting small Dutch boys near her anyway?

Are we sure his name is not I Am Horrible to Children Bot?
niraj » pro 7 months ago
I always imagine a pause where Phillipe waits expectantly for Lie Bot to say something reassuring only to be told there's no moral. Perfect.
heccibiggs » pro 7 months ago
"The end! No moral." The juxtaposition of the exclamation mark and full stop (or "period", for yanks) is one of the most genius things about this strip. Like, you can imagine LB saying the first part in an incredibly over-cheery voice, and then saying "No moral." really quickly and harshly.

Am I reading too much into punctuation?
epicurus » neu 7 months ago
Yes; ?
mattylite » neu 1 months ago
Nooo!

I fucking love "Not in general." as an answer to "Is he ok?"

His slippers almost look like his speaker slippers with Rabbit ears. "Here comes, a very special boyyyy"

Man Onstad had to come hard after the Great Animal Fight, and hard he did come
ampkit5 » neu 6 months ago
You mean the Great Outdoor Fight. But I agree that hard was the coming that Onstad did to surpass the GOF.

Lie Bot i think i love you.

After reading the whole "Great Fight" arc in one sitting, coming to this little no moral tale is, well, sort of appropriate. "I'm Phillipe, do you remember me?"
varnish » neu 3 months ago
"The End! No moral." This is what God will tell you when you die.
