The man went to war when he was thirteen. And not one of your namby-pamby Anglo-American wars either. This was a proper, first half of the century, continental European war. Lorries full of soldiers rattling up and down little country lanes. Villagers being shot for refusing to give up the location of the partisans. The enemy officers up in the chateau, knocking back hundred year old brandy and feeling up tipsy peasant girls who will later have their heads shaved for fraternization. Show some goddamn respect.

My first 2 lames are a harsh, and somewhat heartrending reminder that the assetbar must always be treated like a beautiful tiger who's balls you are squeezing for a man smelling a canteloupe who does not approve of your life decisions, and he may or may not loan you the money to have your 2002 Altima's A/C repaired, and he knows you need an answer but he just keeps smelling that canteloupe.

The essence of politics resides in the modes of dissensual subjectification that reveal the difference of a society to itself. The essence of consensus is not peaceful discussion and reasonable agreement as opposed to conflict or violence. Its essence is the annulment of dissensus as the separation of the sensible from itself, the annulment of surplus objects, the reduction of the people to the sum of the parts of the social body, and of the political community to the relationship of interests and aspirations of these different parts. Consensus is the reduction of politics to the police.

yep, that might be it mockereo. Despite the fact that the "chubby" function now produces exactly the same highly specific behavior as the broken "lame" function produces, maybe it's not broken, maybe it's just a built in function of assetbar that you have never before encountered until just now. From here until the point when you can once again give out chubbies, I'm sure that your inability to give out chubbies will have been due to the fact that you used up all your chubbies on the 04/17/2010 strip, even though this never ever happened before on all the other occasions when you used up all your chubbies. Maybe that's it. Let me guess. You're a rocket scientist and you work for NASA .

Maybe it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't ever have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something.

That happened to me when my grandmother died.
I was away at college. My grandmother hadn't lived at home -- she had moved a few states over back in high school. But from the moment I stepped in the door, there was this nagging discomfort. Everything seemed off -- my brother too tall, my parents too nice, my room too dusty. My cat had died but I kept expecting to see her slink through her closet. Dad made the same dishes for dinner, but they all tasted different. I was an equal to my parents, not a son. My friends were for the most part gone, either in their passing, their moving, or their just being completely different people.
It's been the same each time I've been back since then. It isn't really unpleasant anymore, and I still very much appreciate time spent in my old house. It's very different. I am different, as are they. As is everything. It's no longer very difficult to come to term with the fact that, for now, I don't have a home. I have people I love and that's all that really matters. It's enough. But home is not where the heart is. That is silly. Home is a thing, and a place, and a feeling. Not one or two of those things, you need all of them. If you don't, your "home" is just a place you put your shit.

But that means Philippe was hearing the imagined, almost-good-enough pancake talk in the voice of his long lost father!
That adds a whole new dimension to the horror of the mutilated pancake. Perhaps 'went on his own terms' meant his father exited this life by running headlong at a metro one autumn day in Paris?

Are you sure it isn't his grandfather? From my understanding, "Papa" can also be a term applied to a grandparent. He also makes a reference to Phillipe's grandmother, so that's what I had figured.

"Mon grand" is an affectionate way of addressing a boy, regardless whether he is blood-related to one.
Therealsnazzle, "papa" only applies to fathers; the equivalent for grandfathers would be "papy", "papi" or "pepe".

Well it depends on which gif of moving tits we're talking about, here. Yes, fattybeaver has the most famous tit gif avatar, but pogo was referring to lateadopter's specific mention of Salma Hayek's moving tits. Lateadopter was lamenting the AIU-induced absence of the large gif of Hayek removing her shirt in an elevator which used to be in a comment thread somewhere under the strip in which Teodor is summoning Hayek in an interpretive dance on Todd's short-lived talk show. When pogo said that he'd "seen the breasts move," I immediately assumed (correctly, I believe) that he was still talking about Salma Hayek's tits, specifically, and only one person has a gif of Salma Hayek's tits as an avatar (or as he puts it, in the "icon field") and that's kamet. She's not around anymore, but her gif of Hayek grabbing her tits (which is different from the large gif in the elevator and which I think someone said was from the film Mallrats, which I haven't seen) lives on.

You hacked the image function to fuck with chubbies and lames both here and on the paid Assetbar site, and then all images were disabled entirely. Don't pretend it's a coincidence. No, it's not your fault the admins were too lazy to fix the problem instead of just turning it off, but that doesn't excuse the fact that you deliberately made a mess of this place.

I don't mean to be disrespectful but I must contradict you on this. First, no one hacked the image function. The image function is merely a vehicle for hacking other functions.
Yes, I did hack the chubby and lame functions, but the image function was not subsequently disabled. Rather, the image function was disabled, months later, immediately subsequent to some other party (not me) using the image function to do some pretty serious hacking of assetbar - stuff like putting "rb was here" in everyone's profile. It's at that point that they decided to turn off images. I don't know if they ever fixed the exploit, however. If they did fix it, then great. If they didn't, then all the hacker would have to do to hack other people's assetbar accounts would be to entice you into clicking on a link, which isn't hard to do.
yeah I did deliberately make a mess of the place a few times here and there in the past, but eh, I've moved beyond that. I'm no longer interested in hacking assetbar.

also, the final exposition wouldn't have seemed so heavy handed if there wasn't a few days wait in between strips. it will read better in a collection.

"More to life than trying to survive." -- vanessa carlton.
a punch to the face,
a kick to the chest
you shrug it off, easy
because you are
the best of the best
wedge hand--,switch stance
your moves: so fluid
a twirling death-dance
your strikes are loud,
a song of dominance
one point, two point--
unanswered yet.
a heel comes down--
a ruptures your joint
you scream in pain,
a helpless reaction,
advice from coaches
inane .
you're a man of action
'tape it up, tape it Uh-Uuuup'
a command in anguish
dutifully obeyed.
unflinching you stand
unafraid
'i can hold him off--
for thirty seconds;
a nod from the coach
your opponent beckons
no quarter is shown,
as relentless punch--
and kick are thrown,
(no one can help you-
you're completely alone)
he charges you
like bloodlusted walrus,
a kick to his head
you are victorious

Okay, since Philipe's family immigrated, let's call him a Sea Otter. That's an average lifespan of 15 years.
So his Grandpere fought in the war at about 70 in human terms. Frikking impressive, but not the child soldier we imagined.
Actually, Philipe is a surly teenager, in Otter terms.

Wow. First my ability to chubby goes away, and now this: I went to change my lame limit setting, and now I can't see anything below the "post a comment" box on this strip or any other.
What's your damage, assetbar?

I was thinking the same thing at first, but if you start from the beginning and just kind of take it all in and kind of zone out to it it's pretty nice.

This is a great strip, but I can't rate it, I can't chubby comments, and half the time I can't even see most of the page. Does anyone know how we can get in touch with the AB admins and ask them to fix their broken-ass website?

The saddest thing.
NO! NO NO NO NO! NO! NO NO NON ON O NO NO NON O!
Yes! YES YES YES YES YES!!
You son of a bitch, I'm crying my eyes out.
i said that.
hey I'm in san francisco for a week if anyone wants to meet up for chat or meaningless sex. also if you have cats I would like to hang out with your cats I miss my cats.
I have no cats and i live in Norway :(
Thats the saddest thing.
Look me up, Czordie@hotmail.com
he's a hacker. you might get a VIRUS.
yeah i BET
gettit a virus from SEX haha
Nope, just a dude that lives in San Fran
my hackin skills are mega-nasty. they are dog shit
no man. I meant if you get the stormtrooper thrust on with ratacattt, keep that protective codpiece on. He carries the diseases he picks up in his computering lifestyle.
Ratacattt is the recent alias for AIU, who is a notorious hacker 'round here that works tirelessly to exploit weaknesses in the Assetbar program, disabling more features with each attack, all for his greater good.
Don't be silly, wrap your willy.
seems pretty clear now that deneuve's gonna come back from his svenhard's all hot for a little beard on beard and he's gonna drive philippe back to achewood in the bus of his dick

goddamn you
not bad, but you're no manflesh
I noticed that Manflesh was posting but not including any fanfiction, so I did my best to fill the void.
Do better.
I could, or you could. Think about it, who among us can reasonably and successfully emulate The Honorable Doc Manflesh? Go ahead and try to do better, but we'd all fall down.
Wow I'm taking this seriously, yay white ace
None of us could or should try to do what you're doing. It is a lofty and rotten goal. It is hard to do and it shouldn't be done. By anyone. Not even him.
Link to it next time, spacehog.
And include the phrase "grunting like a spacehog" in it.
And don't forget to say "the saddest thing," "only game in town," "Bloo boo boo" "he is five" there goes a special boy" and "Phillippe is standing on it" over again to hilarious effect.
Correct. I wanna cum on THESE KNIVES.
Make sure you're careful.
Yes, I will be careful to cover every inch of steel with my cum. Don't you worry about that.
I'm not sure, but didn't you just solve THE MOTHERFUCKING RIDDLE OF STEEL?!?!?
oh god these knives
Also, somebody's axe
Jesus, dude. Do the words "refractory period" mean anything to you?
Whoa, go no further. Periods are bad enough. I don't want your crazy geometric periods.
I should point out that it's just a copy and paste job
what news from the north?
This shit's all CHING CHONG WING WONG
If manflesh has no interest in a void, neither should you.
so i scrolled thru the comments and i went OH SHIT MANFLESH and had to stop and read. no homo.
nice prose. a little highbrow and intellectual, but still okay. oh, and nice avatar too.

the frenchman allows for heartbreaking diaglogue.
*frenchman
(fine, OCD, fine I'll correct it)
Dude, I swear to god Achewood always make sense. In fact, it makes more sense than anything. But when you come home drunk, and there is a new achewood, achewood makes more sense than anything in the world, straight up, damn straight.
makes sense
Your words, they are the truest.
Man, I cannot figure out what was corrected here. Is 'Frenchman' spelled with an asterisk now?
*ze frenchman*
fixed
what about "diaglogue"
What? That's just what you get when two (or more) dudes get a glogue goin'.
Triaglogues, or the Isosceles Lock, is just messy and superfluous.
Which is exactly why Run-DMC's third guy was the DJ.
Philippe -- French name -- French papa -- what's the problemo?
They're French.
Get out here! French me!
HEY! My chubboomerang just came back!
(must be that azn buffet I just had, all furious dingdong wonton soup)
Philippe is French?
N...n...nnnoooooo!
I am starting to think that Philippe was made in Mexico. Come to think of it, this makes a lot of things make a lot of sense.
This is a Mexican Magical Realism dad. When he flashes you, his stomach imprints your true self. Wait, no, that's cameras.
Jokes about child molestation
Had... by a fox?
...
Tell me more.
dude what the hell how can a fox have an otter where did you get that from WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MAN and phillipe's mom is his mom not his grandmother, she's just old like his dad (who by the way makes a reference to his mother calling her phillipe's grandmother so there's your answer)
The fox had the otter ... for dinner.
obligatory achewood superfan (me): how the fuck is that meaningless?
That is his grandfather merely explaining a story about home. Not implying that his mother is in fact his grandmother.
That is his father, talking about his own mother, Philippe's Grandmother.
I doubt the guy was married at 15.
...is, is he /still five/?
Philippe is five.
%u201CFoxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head, and the Little Otter has no home to go back to."
This is the realest thing ever. You always feel like you're pretending at being home each time you go back, and it is harder and harder to pretend everytime. Eventually it stops being going home and turns into visiting your parents. Then it's good again.
My parents can't deal with the fact that their home is not really home for me anymore. It is quite sad and confusing.
Thegoblins parents said "What's wrong? This shirt costs $20." Thegoblins said "This shirt is plaid with a butterfly collar!"
Rowboat, you are a favorite persons.
He is unnecessarily probing. But yes, he is a good persons.
With his probe.
Ha ha. He got you too?
I'll see that and raise you my first visit home when my room wasn't my room anymore and was merely 'the spare bedroom'.
It's difficult to let go both ways.
My only question here is; was his father really there to start with? Seems unlikely, but then if you think about it for a while it seems like you could go either way.
