You are strating to make sense instead of trouble

Yeah, I really don't think Philippe is supposed to be retarded anymore. He seems rather precocious, in fact.

How long does it take an otter to fully mature anyway? Not long, I'd imagine.

They can start... boning at 4, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're mature .

The proper term is "savant."

what don't you understand?? PHILIPPE IS FIVE!

great mexico drawing, phillipe

mexico fist bump. relations improve.

bunp

because everyone knows mexico's king is an otter...and a king.

Vincente... Fox ?

Awesome. I miss him and wish we could re-elect. XD Then again, I'm THAT retarded. (but Philippe isn't, he's just five, damnit.)

Philippe knows cursive, but Lyle doesn't.

whoa i forgot lyle did calligraphy

kudos on the recollection

Lyle knows cusses.

i can cuss a swear myself! *a-hem!*

'diaper biscuits!'

Why don't you just go home and get teen pregnant?

Those notes are good.

What the fuck?

I go back through these seeing what my initial thoughts were and this crap is the best I could come up with? I sound like the mentally handicapped robot who built this keyboard.

The comment is netiehr funny, nor insightful, nor does it even relay anything about me as a person, and I condemn it to HADES.

at least it wasn't just a line from the comic
i made a few of those back in the day

Man what an idiot you were to do that. I've never posted anything about me saying or otherwise using lines from the strip, that's for sure.

At least neither of you are involved in one of the constant fucking arguments about Asherdan at this point. Christ, that shit is annoying. I wish there was a way to tag comments as "boring meta bullshit" and then avoid them forever.

I really do regret the thread where I got involved in that debate. My only defense is I wrote it a long time ago after reading a bajillion "Why does everyone lame this guy?" comments. That's not a very good defense for the shitty essay I wrote about why asherdan sucks and I wish there was some way to delete it.

Well at least you didn't abuse people for posting the alt-texts of strips because you didn't realise other people couldn't see them.

Dude, going through the archives, your rage at the alt texts and your later repentance has been one of the highlights. So much rage, and so many polite apologies extended. By the end, I expected you to be showing up with a frickin' Edible Arrangment labeled "Sorry about the inaccurate laming!" Pineapple carved into little Rays, dipped in chocoate...

Everyone I abused and everyone adversely effected by my tomfoolery got a DVD featuring me enduring five minutes of personalised abuse from Don Rickles and a kick in the balls from the only girl I'll ever truly love, and a crystal orb containing one tear that was actually shed during the tirade.

Was it supposed to be a reference to the Chris Isaak strip , or something?

I have always wondered if the last pannel is supposed to be a handshake or some type of otter respect knuckles thing.

When I saw it, the first thing that entered my mind was RESPECK KNUCKLES, so you may be onto something.

i thought what they were doing, wasnt shaking hands but sort of joining them at the palms. as if all their conflicts could be solved by intimate hand contact.

Touching flipper-tips and smiling is perhaps the most basic of otter greetings.

Oh, good, I wasn't the only one.

Totally a knuckle-bump.

Philipe thinks all Mexicans have large moustaches.

And sashes.

After all, most train related deaths could have been prevented.

yeah its not like you can dodge the wrong way when you see a train coming.

But you gotta be careful they don't get the jump on you.

The trick, see, is to run to the side. Don't try to run straight away from the train, don't let the train chase you. Run perpendicular to the train.

Someone needs to get Philippe a copy of Anna Karenina.

Teodor leaves after reading the first note.

this actually makes the comic ten times funnier.

It took me till the third or fourth time through to notice that. Truly the best part of rereading strips.

Phillipe is giving Mexico some dap.

"A person who has a truck should not honk a bunch" sounds almost Confucian for some reason.

In that one panel, Phillippe has shown a more mature handling of foreign relations than the current administration has over the past seven years.

At the time I think Bush was making much of his many meetings with Mexico.

Of course the Mexican president has a mustache.

You know, I think that first one is actually a vote-getter. Also I love that he assumes the President of Mexico is an Otter as well (and apparently extremely short)

The idea of the President of Mexico as an otter with a mustache tickles me

He still would have been better than Bush.

Phillipe in 2016.
