I'm amused by the fact that Philippe seems genuinely afraid of the quarter in Panel 3. Perhaps he's afraid of what Lie Bot is capable of?

I read that as otter people's kids without batting an eyelid at first because it made sense that Phillipe was an otter and therefore it would be fitting to do so.

Do I have to catch it? It seems pretty straightforward. "Straightforward" is one word, right? I started typing it but it looks weird to me. But it doesn't really look right any other way, either.

This is the first strip where I noticed the mainline Philippe's facial expressions have to my own emotional apparatus. I found myself normal, confused, sad that I was confused, then suddenly happy as I read it. That otter really has a hold on me.

Lie Bot puts his hands on his cold, metal stomach when he's finished telling a lie, like a fat man does when he's finished eating his sixth pork chop . . .

Liebot states in the first strip that what he is holding is a quarter. And every person who has commented thus far has thus assumed with conviction that this is the case.
Am I the only one who sees something wrong there? You've all been so overwhelmed by the second lie that the first slipped right under your radar. And that's terrible.

Is a good lie a lie that is believable? If so then wouldn't a good way to make the lie believable be to give it a little bit of truth?

I suppose it would rely on what your idea of a "good" lie is. Mine would be a lie that has the greatest degree of effectiveness in a truth-obscuring manner without reference to the lie's target. Thus, it would be the lie that is the farthest posible from the truth.

And so begins thousands of dollars worth of damage to the municipal sewage treatment system.
Yet it is damage of the sort that pays for its own repairs.
but who wants to go in after all the quarters? sounds like something that would be on Dirty Jobs.
Magnets!
American coins are non-magnetic.
Man your money sucks.
Conceded.
I will also stipulate to this. Although if you drop your American quarters through the gap between two hard-disk magnets, they'll slow waaaaay down due to the induced eddy currents and magnetic field, which is kinda cool.
is there any currency that will speed it up?
A shekel taped to a rial.
...this will also cause them to spin in a familiar folk-dance like the hora.
