Philippe has suddenly developed hella gravitas.

Yes.

I love how serious he gets when he says yes .

Verily, as do I.

Philippe's booth is set up inside the house

he can only get about five votes

As far as Philippe knows that's half the people in the country.

He's got mine...?

Yes, about five votes. That is, if cats and stuffed animals can vote.

So, you're implying that they can't vote, but they can run for President..?

you blew my mind

His FIRM belief.

I never realized how deformed Philippe's hands are until the last panel.

Check the alt-text dude.

Philippe is left-handed

Panel 5 is an event that occurs once per political discussion, as a rule.

its better than the current presidents ideas on how to fix america

Does he have an idea? I thought he was just gonna run this sumbitch into the ground...

...Bush all Strangelovin' the nation...

This has an awfully low score for a Phillipe-centric strip.

Get to righting this wrong, street team!

I think this is *the first* Phillipe strip with a rating less than four, actually.

So far I've seen poopytime and underpants time. I'm trying to see a trend. ..then again, I'm also trying DESPERATELY not to.

am i childish for laughing aloud to the name "Mr. Poopytime"? keeping in mind that i barely ever legitimately laugh aloud.

Knocked it up to 4.0... first vote ever. I need some tequila and a guava half to celebrate.

Someday,when I have a house with a yard instead of an apartment--I will get a puppy and name him Mr. Poopytime. The name amuses me that much.

Your current house has an apartment instead of a yard? That sounds sweet!

Yes. Unfortunately it's kind of a shitty apartment and anyway I have to rent it to old people so I can pay my bills and they don't like puppies.

This strip does seem a little underrated to me - it has a lot of very good elements, such as the italicized "Yes", Philippe's little desk in the garage and his attempt at forthright, bottom-line dignity, and the last two panels. Actually the dialogue from the last panel has stayed in my mind since I first read this strip and I still chuckle about it, often at VERY bad times (hiding from terrorists in closet, etc. etc.)

It is my firm belief that little puppy dogs named Mr. Poopytime will raise our NHQ (National Happiness Quota), at least 43%. We will of course have to pump money into sanitation, but this is an acceptable side effect.

Philippe closing his eyes in panel 3.

I have to wonder: how long did he sit at his little desk before someone came by?

Also, Philippe's "Yes." is one of my favorite Achewood moments of all time. Such power.

It is an ill-omened name. A friend of mine came over with her Mr.Puddles. Mr.Puddles shat on my floor. Mr.Puddles is no longer welcome in my home. She should have named him FuckYouStu.

amazing strip. easy 5

Phillipe has celebrity endorsement.

Uhh

{nods}

Yup.
