Philippe looks incredibly interested in booze, which will serve him well if his childhood keeps going the way it's going.

philippe is incredibly interested in everything.

Why would people lame your facts? They is what they is.

Oi! Who the hell are you?

Oh, apologies. I just remembered that I'm named Shinkusan on assetbar. My normal nomenclature for computer games is Greening_Cow

What an odd coincidence.

Yeah. I still want answers though. It doesn't seem like a very common name (which is why I use it.)

The Playboy Advisor seems to be Achewood's own personal Wizard of Oz or something- he's the most knowledgeable and reasonable person in the whole strip.

Well, it is the absolute best part of Playboy. Unless Chuck Palahniuk has some new short fiction in it or something in which case it's a toss-up.

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but there are pictures of naked women in Playboy.

Yes, but they're often not worth looking at. They are really pretty low on the list of "good aspects of Playboy" and often come close to "bad aspects of Playboy".

So are you homosexuals or what

No, we just have different preferences. I'm not in to the whole heavily made-up, bleached-blonde, fake-tits look. I find it unappealing.

I would like this thread to keep going for a few more posts.

So are you longthreadophiliacs or what

no he just likes long things

...that i boned

I know a guy like this. He seems to know all kinds of neat facts about lots of things, alcohol in particular, and then you find his exact side of a coversation in Maxim.

I do that. It's a bit of a "bachelor's trick."

I find it interesting that no one has commented on how sharply both Ray and Phillipe are dressed.

You have to dress sharp when you run for President.

You have to dress sharp when you travel overseas

That, I assure you, is not a fact.

Ray's wearing the same hat he went to Hell in.

It's his Travelin' hat

He is from history.


this is excellent.

My first Achewood. This single punchline hooked me into reading the entire archive that weekend (3/19/2004 was a Friday.)

Philippe will be the most cultured otter in his kindergarten class.

PHILLIPE'S EXPRESSION OH MY GOD PHILLIPE'S EXPRESSION.

Five'd!

Phillipe is so intent on Ray's words, as if he is to be quizzed at the end of the journey.

Though the observations in question are acutally concerning whiskey. Come to think of it, there's little talk of wine in Achewood. Its characters seem to be beer and whiskey guys. Perhaps this is why I relate to it so much...

We know Beef defintely isn't much of an oenophile

dang. all whiskey gettin on his paws. all fur gettin in the whiskey. ain't no one gonna want to drink that.

He reads it for the articles.

I particularly enjoyed "See here, Phillipe!"
Don't know why.

Ray goes to the Duty-Free at both ends of the journey

I aim to lick my prick, which is slick, and perhaps thick.

Congratulations, my beautiful, beautiful friend. This asset, that you have so skillfully woven, has convinced me to hit the IGNORE USER button once again. Do not worry, though, for having learned from great books the proper murder act on a not-so-right-in-the-head fella, I will chubby you before the trigger is pulled.

Shhhh, little Achewood. Be at peace.

Be at peace.

Dont you get it? Ray never memorized it. He wrote it! He IS the Playboy Advisor. The job must be easy for him seeing how he is one of the dirtiest dudes in town

I imagine Ray feigning a British accent in this particular strip.
