You know, now that I think about it, everytime a friend dies I seem to get a lot of telemarketer calls...
This idea goes deeper than we know...

Capital One sent my dead grandfather a credit card application. He'd been dead EIGHTEEN FUCKING YEARS.
It all makes sense now.

What's in your wallet?
Hm. Portable doorway to hell, evidently.
(Hint: portable doorway to hell = portable doorway to immense credit card debt = exact same thing!)

I know you probably didn't put that much thought into this comment, and I'm honestly not trying to be a dick about it, but really picture someone laughing hysterically for five minutes. Nothing is that funny.

Note that the telesales says the CDs are 19.99 each for 5, which probably means the total price is $100. The cold callers of hell are merciless.

Agreed, its like he's reaching out to Phillipe and only getting cold glass. The expression on his face is also fantastic. One of the comics that is funny yet touching in the same panel.

Beef's non-standard punctuation suits him so well. Those dangling exclamation marks look so fragile. There are plenty of comics characters (e.g. Sandman) with distinctive typefaces and/or speech bubble designs, but few whose (mis)use of punctuation helps define their personality. This is one of the things which raises Achewood into the upper echelons of the medium.

Sorry, that nearly turned into an essay. "Discuss, with appropriate examples, the use of non-standard punctuation and typographical devices as a means toward character development in sequential art, with particular emphasis on online media (8,500 - 10,000 words, plus appendices)."

This is a lot like talking to someone who's trippin' balls, and everything you tell them takes on a real subjective and distorted meaning, followed by an answer based on that delusion. Except in this case, Philippe is in fact talking to someone from hell (where the devil lives).

Am I the only one who noticed that Philippe never told telemarketer-Beef his address? Granted, Beef probably actually knows that information, but still. I would be freaked out.
