I also like the fact that Lyle won't let Phillipe see it, kind of like when he wouldn't explain the birds and bees.

I thought it'd be more in keeping with Lyle's nature to let Philippe see it, then tell him to go ask Mr. Bear when the inevitable questions arose.

Christ, he's really pissed! I love how much emotion the simple art in Achewood can convey.

absolutely LIVID

OOooh....now I get it. Heh.

I dunno man, green tea has been known to make me shit something fierce.

piss shows don't happen over glass coffee tables, bub. the coffee table ain't gonna help much unless it's got high sides such as to contain a volume of six pots of cheap green tea.

piss shows happen over a small tub or washbasin. shit shows happen over the glass coffee table. these are facts.

That level of knowledge is disturbing...

Thanks for the info! I figured it was a vomit show and they used tea because three shows a day with meat and potatoes would cause esophageal damage.

I like the way Lyle is typing furiously, and barely stops to answer Philippe before going back to his furious typing.

Why wouldn't you want Harry Potter around for the shit show? I mean...I bet he could really make it interesting.

...more interesting.

Don't you remember in Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone when he got pissed and the glass went away? Maybe they didn't want to risk hurting Harry's tender sensibilities and not having the glass to protect them.

I appear to have given you a lame. I can't recall why. I apologize for this.

oh god oh god oh GOD


Phillipe's expression in the last panel sells this one.

MAN Lyle what the FUCK

Yes it is!

Oh god, man. Glass-bottom boat... Why do I know these things?

I'm going to think about the Doris Day picture in order to save my sanity.

Sadly, I think this is actually better than most actual Harry Potter fanfiction on the internet these days :P

Your lames suggest that at least two achewood readers are also writers of harry potter fanfiction.

This is incredibly disturbing.

Trying to figure out Lyle's reasoning for making this a Harry Potter-based book at all is the funny bit... and, i suppose, Phillipe's indignation at not being able to read it.

The best part of this strip is that at least in that font, Lyle Gabriel looks like the name of a badass fantasy author.

scat humour

"Accio hookers!"

Oh no, Ejacularum Prematurae!

The fact that both of these comments have the same number of chubbies is amazering

When you add in the fact that we're best friends who were reading the strip in the same house, it becomes some kind of monster madness miracle.

lyle's fanfic almost certainly includes stiv bators. nice touch.

Akron OH represent.

srs

When Philippe gets pissed, he gets pissed .

Fuck, man, I wana read Philippe's Harry Potter legends.

They're mostly about how there's a princess buried deep under Hogwarts (princess of the mole men) and Harry meets and marries her not UGLY Hermione . Oh and haunted cherry pies, for some reason.

He types fine when he's sober. Go back to when he got dried out.

C. Everett Koop is right, that sober Lyle in Scotland era is some of the best of the blogs.

This is what would happen if Rowling had died accidentally, series incomplete, and left all her intellectual properties to Thomas Pynchon.

Phillipe is just FURIOUS that Lyle isn't sharing! Figs to THAT!

Huh. I wouldn't have pinned Lyle for a HP fanfic writer. Odd.

That's probably because he's not. The book starts with the titular character getting knocked unconscious. Hogwarts and magical happenings are not the point of this story.

Yeah dogg I think Harry Potter is only tangentially related to Stiv Bators and the Vietnamese hooker

It is a point of fact that I am blown away that any activity would leave Lyle not clutching his booze.

Six pots of green tea, a glass table, hmmm, what is going on here?

Dead BoyS!

Who has the same initials as Lyle?

Me (I do).

He's right to not show him.
That stuff ends childhoods.

but Philippe is Five, and when that 'f' is capitalized, it means he will be that age forever.

it's not that he doesn't want Philippe to read his. he just doesn't want to 'waste his time' reading Philippe's.

Lyle is the kind of guy who knows when a kid is or isn't ready. Philippe has another breakdown, while Lyle takes a silent drink with his back to the door.
