Pat is upset that he's being aped by a gorilla.

I say that so often in real life that my friends have copped to mentally adding it to jokes they make.

Patton?

Oswalt*

Chubbied for Patton Oswalt.

Homosexuals looks ready to talk openly.

how much better the country would be with a website as its president

How about.... not?

Wow, amandulence likes Bush so much he had to lame me for it... which is less disturbing than the fact that hellaurie is such a fan of goatse that he did the same thing. (I stand by my dislike of both.)

ever notice how Goatse and George Bush are never in the same room at the same time?

think about it

How about.... not?

Why find out!

Sheesh, we just HAD eight years of that. What are you, a masochist?

Man, I have heard some weird disses on Dubya before, but saying that he is a man who stretches his ass out on the internet... That is one that I never imagined I would read.

Oh, lord no. You think there are problems with U.S. Mail NOW, just imagine what would happen with Assetbar turning random addresses into strings of question-marks and "%u2019"s.

Chaos, that's what.

This comment is immensely improved by having such a disgruntled avatar.

said by one who actually writes letters.

as in Mr. C. Bear writes letters.

Way back in the day, Pogo (the comic character, not our resident Old Man) ran for president from the Okefenokee party. lots of college kids did a lot of rallies for him. He didn't win though. I bet Philippe could though.

YOU SAID 'THOUGH' TOO MANY TIMES! THAT'S OKAY I WILL CHUBBY YOU ANYWAY BUT DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN!

This message brought to you by: sleep deprivation and my caps lock key.

Homosexuals looks a little too nice.

What a welcoming wave Homosexuals has. This was one of the first Achewood strips I ever saw. It was involved in hooking me.

I bet Homosexuals would put on quite a show.

He can insert his own **** into his *** while punching himself in the face.

Shivering anus !

golden reference

that tree house is cold pimpin. also dang phillipe must be up in some hooked on phonix or somethin' if he's spelling homosexuals correctly at 5.

Nah, He just saw it in the chat bubble.

I don't know if other people do this, but sometimes my voice for Pat is some kind of helium-based Dame Edna thing.

"Hooooomosexuals!"

Actually, this strip has persuaded me that Pat sounds like a very angry Van Dyke Parks.

! Trying hard to imagine that, but also enjoying it.

More to the point, does this prefigure Pat's coming out? What with his pressing concern for Philippe's stance on gay marriage??

I think it's just Pat trying to inject his own unique brand of icily self-righteous liberal accusation into the situation. He's jonesin' for and bit of shriek and point; you can see that.

Jonesin' so bad he invited himself into a treehouse to do it.

if you say it, it is ruined

Feel... strangely... compelled... to chubby... everything you say...

"Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli."

man what is it with being young and having older folks want to bust your chops on things that are basically pointless

He said gorilla but that's clearly a chimpanzee.

Part of Philippe's intrigue is that he can't tell the difference between a chimp and a gorilla, yet he can properly spell "homosexuals."

it's actually pretty easy to spell phonetically, if you think about it.

/x/ does not go "kshy".

i thought the exact same thing!

then i remembered it's Phillipe. he's lucky his drawing was even in the same kingdom. (^ ^,)

We do not have such in Bithnyia.

this is the first time i have ever seen Bithynia outside of a book on Roman/Byzantine/Russian history.

It's a quote from the show Rome. Cassius, having fled Rome, is attempting an alliance with the king of Bithnyia. The king considers it, and pleasantly says, "I understand that in Rome there is a place you can go to see a woman get fucked by an orangutan. Is this so?"

Cassius, shocked and confused, says, "I... I believe such things, among certain circles, do exist but..."

"I think that would be quite a sight to see," says the king, enraptured. "I would very much like to see a woman get fucked by an orangutan. We do not have such in Bithnyia. Could you arrange such a thing for me?"

And Cassius thinks and slowly says, "I... I think it would largely be a matter of... training the ape."

Anyways, "We do not have such in Bithnya" briefly became a staple hilarious phrase among Rome fans.

To make my tangent germane and a lot of Talk Like a Dick School speakery worthwhile, I'm sure Homosexuals the Gorilla would need very little or no training at all.

to fuck a woman ? it might not take training, but probably would necessitate some convincing.

I believe Baptists have camps for that, but I'm not sure if the work.

The real question if the Baptist church's objection to homosexuality would override their obsession with an ape penetrating a chick, and they'd convince the ape just to spite homosexuals everywhere.

A victory for the Culture War is usually a defeat for everyone else, with the notable exception of the ape.

Man, I messed that up. "Their objection to an ape penetrating a chick" is what I meant, though I'm sure at least a few Baptists have to be obsessed with it as well.

That is a damn funny mistake you made there.

As one raised Baptist, I can tell you they would much rather the gorilla ramone a woman than a male gorilla. I don't know whyyyyyy, Mommy.

I think the most important thing here is that he is five and he writes in pretty fair cursive. Philippe is one precocious otter.

he is also running for president.

Philippe knows more than people give him credit for. Actually, I like to think he's just fucking with Pat, all passive-aggressive.

Pat really hates Philippe for no apparent reason.

He has no warm feelings for children in general.

He hates everyone for no apparent reason.

Ah, the innocence of childhood. Also, everyone loves hilariously named Primates.

Pat is the only character whose voice I don't have a real feel for...his skiping the G's off his -ing words just doesn't fit right with what he actually says...
Which may be the whole point, I suppose.

He sounds like a prick.

Oh AIDS...

you just made me snort, i usually never laugh. thank you.

Gorrillas are not monkeys.

here you go


oooohhhhh sssshhhiiitttttt

I don't want to know why that man owns that monkey.

I thought it the other way around as soon as i saw them.

The monkey doesn't want to know why that man owns you?

Cut that out, we are not in Soviet Russia.

!

In Soviet Russia, Soviet Russia is not in YOU!

I made sure this comment had a chubby and I meant it literally.

That is the naughtiest thing I have ever seen.

Then you , my friend, have not spent enough time on the internet!

man-sized stuffed monkey penis ftw!!!

Seriously, what the flapdoodle is going on there?

I'm relatively sure that Dita von Teese got Marilyn Manson one of these for Christmas.

Thank you, Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

He seems very proud of his monkey. The monkey seems pretty proud too, come to think of it.

Hi, Homosexuals! *waves*

i laughed so hard when i first read this strip. 5!

It's hopeless to try to pick, but this one may well be my all time favorite.

Any strip with Phillipe dialogue gets a 5 from me.

It's hard to imagine Pat actually climbing that rope ladder to get to the treehouse. It seems at odds with his curious idea of dignity. Then again he is a cat.

He could have just groomed himself afterwards.

Homosexuals looks sort of like a ham?!??!?!?! ROFL.

Good lord. I need to sit down.

are you typing at the computer, standing up?

Every time I come by this strip, I still don't understand how a gorilla could look like a cured ham haunch. Then I re-read the alt text, and I realized OH I'M AN IDIOT.

Man, Phillippe's head is fucking HUGE in panel 7. It's really cute for some reason.

Totally! It's because his eyes are low-down on his head! When I was an animator, we did an experiment about this -- about what it is exactly that makes a drawing cute.

Oh, awesome. Do you have any other facts about cute drawings? I would be genuinely interested to know.

Apparently someone thought my opinion totally sucked, though.

As a man with an overly large head, I gave you a chubbies. Sadly they do nothing to negate the lames.

I think this is my favorite Achewood comic.

I just realised that this is kind of reminiscent of Zazie in the Metro

5...forever a fucking 5.

i'm moving back to california to be a legit homo in love

blingity to the blongity

I feel like the use of SOON. is some very subtle recurring humour. I really have no other explanation for why I keep laughing at it.

i lovelovelove how pats righteous indignation gets deflated and stepped all over!

it's like our Childhood Balloon all over again.
