Poor Philippe didn't stand a chance. No amount of practicing can prepare you for this.

He wasn't ready.

Shit I nearly burst into tears reading that.

D':

Nooooooo!~

SUCCESS!!

Man, we know that. It is not necessary to state this idea on every strip.

If saying that is going to accomplish somethign it will do so without having to be said like a thousand times, seriously.

really all these comments are bothering me. let's not.

Agreed.

We get it

You're gay and you've got mad boners for Onstad

Do you really have to emphasize this in every comment you've ever posted, ever?

The retarded guy with the egg was more sad, in my opinion.

Agreed.

agreed

Totally with you.

Oh, definitely.

Yeah, Lie Bot hasn't been able to top that one, in my opinion. It's his sadness magnum opus.

I think the one with the little girl is the saddest thing so far. Keep in mind, though, it's Liebot. This means it is NOT the saddest thing...in theory.

This one actually made me freak out, that is the worst mental image ever.

Chaos...... REIGNS.

Oh shit, you watched Antichrist. Were you prepared? Had you been practising?

I need to practice spelling.

There wasn't a whole lot to really prepare me for that. I will say it's probably not the best date movie, and that I realized this retroactively.

I think I would prefer my girlfriend NEVER to watch this movie. I would never sleep again.

Well, this isn't me favorite saddest thing either, and the bag lady on Christmas Eve is pretty shopworn...but nothing about the Taliban making with the jihad at George Webb is exactly obvious.

you can't practice for the saddest thing!

I think we're all overlooking one little thing:

How exactly was Phillipe practicing for the saddest thing? Google image search?

Maybe he was practicing his "Noooo!"?

Your avatar makes the post.

Have you never played Google Seppuku?

You type in two words in order to find something that makes you wish you'd never been born.
Simple as.
And trust me... I've seen some pretty bad sh!t. You haven't really known horror until you've seen a close-up, high-res photo of a poodle's vadge with STDs.

That sounds familiar. Didn't they do this on Ghastly's Ghastly Comic?

Dunno. Never heard of it.
I just came across the Google Seppuku Livejournal community one day, joined up and joined in.

I also saw many pictures of parasitic insect parts and pussy tumours.

Now when you say pussy, do you mean pus-y, kitty cancer, or indeed tumors on the female parts?

How could it matter?

OR BOTH

WHY FIND OUT

It's kind of a shame because soticoto being a huge fan of Ghastly's art would completely make perfect sense

why did you think of that though
why would you think of that

all I'm saying is that's what you get for inviting the taliban to christmas. they're like the drunk uncle that always tries to make love to the dog. Notice i didn't say "fuck" the dog. There is a lot of compassion between a drunk uncle and a dog. A LOT.

Phillipe Arms Akimbo is beautiful

no, the saddest thing is a puppy trying to lick a dead kitten back to life. and the puppy has cancer.

Nooo!

...that is definitely a ridiculously sad thing..
*sad emoticon*

but it's like any sci-fi program:
there must be something more...

How about this then?

God damn you dude. Lie Bot has nothing on this. You have found the saddest thing ever. Game over, everybody go home, this is the winner.

Fuck. I want to go hug my cat now.

These keep getting sadder and sadder.

Oh, lie bot. You're so silly.

The taliban makes this a 5.

When am I next going to get to type that?

Never again. This is the saddest thing.

...this isn't really that sad.

the first two, my goodness. but this one? i'm not really feeling anything. and i can relate pretty well. (i was basically homeless at Thanksgiving.)

Precisely. Family get killed by Taliban. Homeless bag lady goes in afterwards and loots the corpses. SCORE!

This strip makes me indescribably happy.

Oddly.

Lost a brother that way.

Liebot lies
So, while very sad, this is not the saddest thing.
This means there is something much sadder out there.

Which is pretty sad, if you think think about it.
