This comment is the best, and it has the least chubbies out of the big four

Dude, "chinaman" is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

At first, I thought no one got your brilliant reference.

Then I realized you only made it two days ago.

Either way, chubs ahoy.

"The sailors keep her down in the hold, to keep the ship stable."

"Her baby pictures had to be taken by satellite."

ultrasounds of her children had to be taken by actual spelunkers.

That one has never made sense to me.

That's basically the point of it.

I would chubby you for you avatar, if only I had any of them left.

this one is as funny as hitting an infant with a hammer.

every time she wears high heels, she strikes oil.

Yo mama so fat, when she goes to the movie theater, she sits next to everybody.

White bread snaps?

the real-life version momma joke

Had he lose it before he came out of the closet? I'm unsure.

I don't think he's out of the closet yet - I've been reading chronologically and still haven't seen any mention of it.

So as of this second you're now four hours ahead of me in the archive.

You, madame, are 26 minutes ahead of me.

Man I feel like we're all living parallel lives, off-kilter by just the smallest fractions of time.

2 days ahead of me

I'm only 4 months behind.

It's better than five.

Mingus is down with jazz, jazz has always been down with bach.

Yeah fuck you Mr Pete!

Postmodernism revels in the layered ironies of Phillipe. And it is arguably fifty-five!

Everybody has a resident asshole in their group of friends, it's a role that must be filled. Pat just does too good a job

"before you ask, yes, it's a mixed blessing."

I would to love to see an extra panel from this of just the awkward after moment. How do you tell a 5 year old Otter his joke was wrong without hurting him?

I love how doubtful Philippe looks in the last panel. He doesn't quite know what's going on, but he'll just try his best anyway, because he's Philippe.
Come to think of it, isn't it a little weird that a 5 year old is driving out to the bay on his own?

Don't forget Ray in the Escalade. And Todd in his van.

the unlockable vehicle can be the ford galaxie from burnout summer

naw man that's beef's car, and pat's in his 70s stickered-up mustang.

Little Neph in his Civic

maybe the Volvo can be the unlockable, then..all equipped with a special horn powerup that causes despair to disperse in a shockwave around the vehicle, causing those other drivers to weep and skid around, giving you the ability to properly Stand on it, Agnes.

Mr. Bear's Mini. With all the mods, including the Laphroig warmer.

Oh man. Oh man. This has to happen.

Are there any Acheworld members who happen to be handy with Flash, or whatever it is you crazy kids use to make them innarnet games?

I'd so love to have a doily launcher be a powerup in a cart racing game.

i have been playing south park rally

if that goddamned xna racing sample ever works i'll try my hand at making a 360 one of these (heads up it will suck unless someone has closet modeled this stuff in maya)

Pat would be in a Prius or some other hybrid.

I was confused by the tunnel to the bay at first, but I've come to my senses and now know it is just an entrance to the underground.

Man. That is unfortuante.

ARRRGGGGH fucking typo!!

Here comes a special girl.

Philippe's a few snaps short of the dozens.

ray was serving up a nice hot dish of "yo mama" to pat before philippe arrived.

I think that is why Bob O'Connor really died.

Phillippe is hardcore. Keepin it real little otter.

I see "Some even got on the mayor!" all over various interweb forums now.

Hats off to Onstad.

Pat is so shocked, his mouth fell open. And that is great.

Also, this one makes me think of President Philippe welcoming the Pope.

I don't know why the kid is so morbid this week maybe it's the weather

Am I just retarded or is Phillippe driving from the passenger seat in the first panel?

Yeah he is. I also noticed that... weird.

You're not retarded. And Philippe is not five.

the tiny double-line on the right side of the car suggests we are seeing it from an angle

Only if it's an American car.

I first thought that Philippe was entering a Tunnel Of Love in an amusement park. With the sign "flows to bay" overhead, which made it even better. In fact, I still think this is what happened. Or he stole a golf cart, which seems out of character.

Or he's driving the car Lyle made him.

I think it's great that the three cats are hangin' together again.

I use to question why the three cats hang out. Obviously Ray and Roast Beef hang out because they have been good since back in the day, not to mention Beef is one of the few people who can put up with Ray....but why do they hang out with that dick Pat?

I thought about this for a long time, and then I realized that in my group of friends, I am Pat. And I cried.

Please don't cry. You could maybe not be Pat. After all, Pat is a dick. Here is a chubby to foster goodness and warmth in your soul.

Phillipe's mayoral obsession predates itself.

i'm a year later, but i was completely up-to-date 3 years ago. which counts for nothing except the amount of lames i'll most likely receive.

Beef and Ray have downed their drinks, but Pat's glass remains untouched.
