Phillipe's getup makes him look like more like the archbishop of the dump.

Do archbishops have a badge? HMMM?!

Do sheriffs have staves?

Whoa whoa! Cool it, tough guys!

No, Phillipe is five.

For example.

Phillipe is a cosmic being who is not subject to the passage of time.

Ok, you didn't REALLY get lamed 11 times for suggesting that Phillppe isn't five, oh wait, actually now those lames make sense. but not really

Dude, where the Pope does his business is none of our business. Although I have seen a bear wear a funny hat on occasion.

I've seen bears do things. Things even a bear wouldn't do.

Hm. I wonder.

To do this is the craziest thing a bear can do

I've been too afraid to try BBCode until today- I feel like I just went back in time to middle school and was made volleyball captain of the A team instead of the B team.

They do if they're from Nottingham.

I was thinking more along the lines of Marlon Brando in Apocalypse now. He has descended into the heart of darkness, and become its master.

the pope only shits in the woods when there's somebody around to hear it.

I really like this strip since its where the arc pays off. While everyone worries about philippe, he has the situation reasonably well in hand.

All those horrible tales Lie Bot has told him have made him fearless .

Ah! Lie-Bot's true purpose revealed!

indeed... hes got douche-y ways, but he mentally and emotionally scarred phillipe out of love.

I long for the day when I can say "I am the sheriff of the dump! Tell me where the old couches go!" in conversation.

I actually used the last panel as my MSN avatar for quite a while, it was a big hit with winos.

That would have to be a pretty weird conversation.

You could say it to someone who has just shat an old couch.

You could jump a motorcycle off of Carmen Electra's berm-like areolar scars.

In case anyone else was wondering: "Burns that injure the tissues underlying the skin, such as the muscles or bones, are sometimes categorized as fourth-degree burns. These burns are broken down into three additional degrees: fourth-degree burns result in the skin being irretrievably lost, fifth-degree burns result in muscle being irretrievably lost, and sixth-degree burns result in bone being charred."
- Wikipedia

Informative and scary as hell - like a zombie professor!

Yeah if you've irretrievably lost your skin I'd say you'd be unlucky to live that is basically correct

I wonder if anyone has ever survived a sixth-degree burn.

I'd say anyone who has lost a hand or foot to rampaging lava has survived a sixth-degree burn. Do such people exist?

It's gotta have happened...

And the thought of it reminded me immediately of this song =

Botch -- "Hutton's Great Heat Engine"

We'll never see them again
I won't even try to run
Because it's kind of pointless
Here comes the sea, the sea of red
It's hard to believe that our end has come
Oh she still erupts!
It's hard to believe that something so thick
Is so quick... so quick... so quick...
But it buries us by the hundreds
It's so quiet here...
And the heat is my new friend

[[high5]] botch is the hot stinky shit

It must happen. [squint] It must happen sometimes .

And, somehow, their sight is replaced by a new sense that tells them when nights are totally moonless.
This is my favorite story arc, and that just makes it even better.

Philippe would be awesome on Kid Nation

Under extreme duress, Phileppe releases the Leader Within.

Philippe is a MAN now!


philippe is five.

A MAN who is five .

I swear, the first time I read this and saw the last panel, I just thought Achewood was going to turn into the Akira manga.

You do not mess with Phillipe when all he's had to eat is half a chapstick. He gets hell of indignant. He's about to lay down the law with his lightbuld/tin-star stave-of-justice.
