Hey. Even Onstad himself refers to characters by characteristic rather than name. Check all the alt texts saying such as "The fat cat..." and then beg for forgiveness for such a wrongful lame!

I beleive, with haiku, the content is sometimes considered more important than the syllabic(?) formula. Neither of these would really be haiku, because they don't focus on nature or the seasons. Senryu is more appropriate, with it's focus on human (or, i guess, sentient-otter) foibles.

This strip is a weird one; you could replace Lyle with Teodor and nothing would change. You'd need to clean up Lyle's diction in panel one, but still... odd.

Every time Philippe is happy about something, the nearest character has to ruin it for him. Let us not forget the 99cent pen, or the micky mouse pancake. Philippe is funnier for the things that happen to him rather than the things he does.

Does the soul make it taste better?
It gives you the power of the Lobster.
Including but not limited to: Harder Shell, Clenching Skill, Aquatic Adaptation, Flying Hatchets, Ancient Pendulums, etc.
And a 1 to saving throws!
And Knowledge(aquatic)
Crabs possess vast wisdom pertaining to the deep.
(They know that they can eat plankton and scuttle.)
Also, it tastes like butter.
before i chubbied this comment, there were five green comments and then this and then five more green comments. now I have made a solid line of eleven green comments, and subsequently ruined it. the joy of the mundane
Don't worry, my Chubbies are set to thirty-three.
I'm pretty sure crabs would have Improved Grab. That way they can start grapples as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity if they hit with their claw attack.
If it can get me to Cinnabar Island, that is all that matters.
which makes you stick to magnet
Chubbied, but that's lobster.
Wait, deimosrising said lobster. He was the confused one.
Eating the soul of a Crab gives you the power of a Lobster?
