The look on Philippe's face is priceless.

It is worth at least 5.00 SmileBucks%u2122

those last three panels as a whole make the whole strip!

Philippe has no way of getting any money, ever.

Maybe he should commit suicide!

But how? QUESTION MARK

You have grammatically appropriate Tourettes and I find it highly amusing. Now say "..."

he got dressed up to get yelled at

By all rights he is (or would be) the president... He has to look the part.

I believe that the SmileBucks had the opposite affect that Philippe intended.

Yes. But as always, he meant well.

Once again the panels without dialogue pay dividends.


the above was me agreeing with no dialogue

Proving once again that context kicks content's ass, any day. Thanks, postmodernism!

thostmodernism!

thothtmoderithm.

I keep a OneNote page for stupid things to say to my friends. I am right now adding "Thants does not work well with Postmodernism"

Wait, so I can redeem SmileBucks(tm) for nude pictures of Sandra Bullock?

If it had been nude pictures of Meg White, this might have played out differently.

I'm all for the Genuine* Rolex** watches.

I once owned a *hatented* Rolex watch from a street vendor in Nepal. I treasure it always.

What does that mean??

Oh god, I thought that it said *haunted* Rolex watch, got really confused, got really excited for your explanation, and now I am just sad.

Nepalese magical realism.

Who has not felt the shame of a poorly chosen credit card transaction?

A comment left by yacoon was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by ishuta, Bourbonsamurai, blarghamagarky)

his screen name is Phillipe!

exclamation point and all

Negatory.
One L.

He is five.

It's so sad. It's like when your kid sister thinks she could really win an iPod from a banner ad.

I'm sensing a true story here.

one of my friends actually got a video jpod from one of those fakeroni deals.

that is a true story.

Phillipe thought it was a smile emergency.

Hey guys! Guess who just got...


yelllled aaat!

Instead of check boxes, the "I am interested in" section has radio buttons, thus making the items impossible to deselect: a clever scam.

Well, did you?

Definitely one of my favourite Phillipe strips

Man, I actually did this in like the second grade but please don't tell my friends.

You were on the internet in the second grade? How young are you?

What age are you in second grade, anyway? I would figure it to be about 7. I'm 19 and I was first online when I was 10, and I was one of the earlier out of my friends.

Second grade is seven years old. I am 17. Actually, now that you mention it, it was probably later in my young, internet-impaired life (I think that actually makes it worse that I was probably nine or ten.) I just remember getting yelled at.

Guess who at a young age got...

YELLED AAAT!

Internet in second grade? You kids are growin' up in a different world than the one I came up in, you know?

True- I saw this girl the other talking on a cell and she couldn't have been more than 10. I was shocked, then meta-shocked at my shock. Who needs a cell phone at that age? "Uh, yeah, you know, I've gotta manage my offshore accounts from the see-saw to the Scouts' meeting." What. the. hell.

i have been on the internet since Prodigy didn't have pictures. long live that old account. i still remember that username, too!

so rad.

and that year would be like...'92. yay for developing reading skills super early!

This is the meaning of the dot-com crash.

I'm resisting the urge to click frantically just to the left of T's head in panel 4.

Teodor, grow up and get it done, son!
