Philippe can be so terrifying.

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.

It looks like his fuzzy little brain is popping out.

[IMGS OFF]

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.

Singing Cartoon Girl = Paula from Earthbound.

The More You Know

The more i know, the more i need to vocalize said knowledge.

Fifteen lames?

Lyle is now going to fuck your trumpet.

I propose "Fuck your trumpet" be a new invective.

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

Part of the appeal of Achewood is that it can appeal to more than one sensibility, even at the same time. Yes, some of the best material in Achewood is dark and badass. Some of the best material in Achewood is sweet, too. The main difference between the Achewood version of "sweet" and the Family Circus version is that the Family Circus version is forced, while the Achewood version is earned.

and he's just trying so hard to be cool

My favorite Teodor moment.

This one caught me totally off-guard with how hilarious it is.

This strip (mostly Teodor's reaction) is "laugh loud enough to get you fired" funny.

All the tough guys use Paul Mitchell. ALL of them.

I use Paul Mitchell and can verify this.

Tea Tree Mint Shampoo baby. It BURNS the sexy right into your scalp.

You use a shampoo that has 3 plants in its name. I would check with a doctor to make sure your testicles aren't actually prolapsed ovaries.

It's all about the last panel. Hairglasses!

i never knew phillipe could be so hell of disturbing.

this strip would be ten times more horrifying in color.

...

(i may or may not be correct about this.)

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.

that was a strange reaction.

Onstad, why did you think of that though?

Why would you think of that?

Onstad, you thought of this?

How come?

WHY FIND OUT

You'll be happy to know that this strip also hates you.

I understand this strip, but I don't get why Phillipe's haircut scaring Teodor is supposed to be funny.

How is it NOT supposed to be funny?

Illegal ghost bikes??? What?? Huh? He's standing on it???

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.

Ohhhhhhh. Now I'm imagining Teodor reliving some horrible childhood incident involving a shaven otter, and it's retroactively hilarious.

Whatever works for you.

And for the record, while this was just nonsensical, illegal ghost bikes straight-up sucked ass.

haha ok dude

What... happened to his nose?

it's still there...i think...

I've laughed out loud at Achewood before, but this is the first time that I laughed so loud I couldn't breathe.

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.

I never noticed before but T�odor's pants are pretty silly.

I picture them as being like violet brocade, like King Lear would wear.

Teodor's face and exactly repeated screams totally make this one.

exactly repeated;
EEEEEAAAUGH! EEEEEAAAUGH! EEEEEAAAUGH!

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.

thats hard to watch, dude.

T�odore's reaction makes bearable the horror of Philippes buzz-cut.

Isn't this one of the few times we actually see Teodor's bottom lip?

Today's Blogs

Ray: Christmas!
Teodor: San Bruno

WHOOO finished one year of blogs motherfuckers!

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.

you are awesome

Why do I always waste my chubbies before I get down to your blog posts? Thanks for all the posts.

I want so badly to see Teodor's reaction to Philippe Potter there, considering what just being Philippe Willis did to him.

EEEAAUGH!

Dude, indeed.

He is a stuffed otter. That will never grow back.

And he is five.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAUGH! ... EEEEEEEAAAAUGH! ... EEEEEEAAAAAUGH!

I wonder who's hair products that is? I too use the Paul Mitchell leave in conditioner.

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.*

*By "this country," I mean America, home of the Internet since 1977. America: Where we put commas inside quotation marks, even if we are not quoting the comma. America: Try it today!

America!

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

Christians don't like Harry Potter.

Christians don't like anything that is fun. It's totally in the bible and stuff.

They're allowed to like music. Unlike some silly religions.

Such as?

there is no instance of the word fun in the bible. thats why christians are opposed to fun.

You KNOW that Teodor is terrified because he just smoked a few bowls and is all paranoid. That, coupled with Phillipe, would freak ANYONE out.

God I can't stop laughing.

A shaved baby otter shouldn't look so phallic. 'Specially not when he's five.

CUUUUUUUUUTE!

I don't like Harry Potter any more.

Anyone else impressed at Philippe's skills with the razor to make the glasses? I have used one of those before, and instead of a haircut someone ended up with a shaved head.

Man so close to perfect, Teodor's reaction took a second for me to realise it but when I did it was hilarious, however it seems to me that if it ended there without the Harry Potter part it would be a funnier strip, 5 instead of 4
