I'd just like to see the results of Phillepe's speed/weight vs. those pop bottles.

That avatar is exactly what I look like.

actually, they are soda bottles. dont worry, though, its a common mistake.

I saw this comment has 10 chubbies, and shook my head and thought to myself "She only has chubbies cause she has a vagina."

I then promptly punched myself in the face.

Dude, vaginas get mad chubbies, and I mean that both ways... like a bi-sexual.

Yeah, thanks Ted.

Likewise.

This would work on my girlfriend too and would make me laugh nearly as much.

Is your girlfriend 5? Because that is illegal.

If 15 will get you 20, what will 5 get you?

'cause SEVEN EIGHT NINE

probably get you murdered in prison

Lyle is always riding that line between "aw, how cute, he's the 'mean' character of the group" and "hey, I'm going to punch Philippe in the stomach for Christmas". This strip is a really good example of that.

I love how Lyle doesn't even care that the little otter is just a little otter.

Once you take the size of these characters into account you realize that's a really narrow hallway.

The Onstads have to side shimmy to get to the pisser.

Tricking Philippe with the prospect of going to Hogwarts for his own amusement...for shame, Lyle. For shame.

ohhhh, Harry Potter. I am lame for not getting it until I saw this comment, and I understand that.

Your words cut me like Gryffindor's sword through the mouth of the basilisk.

I see that in the past I already chubbied this comment. Good.. Good...

achilleselbow you know I love you but Harry Potter is fly and your disagreement with enjoying Harry Potter is not fly.

my origional reaction to this was "wait! that's not the way into malcovich's head!" and then i got it.

It is a testament to Onstad that I have loved this strip through several readings, and only now get the joke.

you loved a strip with a punchline that you didn't get

that's a testament to something

I noticed the second time I read this Teodor's silent plea for Lyle to not do this thing (Panel 4).

I think Teodor is just shocked and realizing he's about to get bowled over too.

That's my favorite part -- Teodor's "yii!" palms-up realization/reaction. It's perfect. Shit is about to go down .

Just out of curiosity, did anyone not give this strip a 5?

considering it ranks 4.4...maybe.

A chubby for the xkcd reference, my friend.

I was implying that, on the face of God's Green Earth, there is nothing more perfect than this specific Achewood Strip.

The alt text lets us know Onstad is still sticking to the basic conceit of the stuffed animals living in his home.

Lyle is my favourite drunk mad-scientist, er tiger

Ahh hahaha oh no. I'm so glad we weren't shown the conclusion of this, it would be far too tragic.

Philippe has already handled Teodor's fleshlight, his life really can't get any more tragic

(I've been reading the blog archives. That actually happened.)

One of the few achewood strips that I had to think about for second before I got the joke.

this is epic.

Greek Greek Greek

No doorways to duck into, the halls too long to run back... Teodor, wall climb!

this is my new favorite thing ever. I just know the next strip would be phillippe running as fast as he can, then having cornelius yell at lyle.
