Can you imagine the carnage that might be wrought if the power of Billy Idol were used for evil?

Since its Lie Bot giving us the information, its never clear if something supernatual did happen, or if philippe just belived it so hard that he heard things.

both, obviously.

He believed it so hard it became real

The power of belief gives you wicked sack.

The power of belief is what keeps airplanes in flight.

Also I have to stay amazingly drunk during the flight, or the plane will crash.

Sometimes Lie Bot tells the truth. Even his name is a lie.

this rabbit hole goes deeper than i ever imagined

is so Lie Bot

Are those little motion lines extending from his knee in panel 3 as the spirit of Billy Idol shifts him into a classical contrapost stance? Oh man.

Oh man hella chubbies for the Classics reference on the week before my exam! dj, if I pass because of you, man, I owe you a beer.

I think it's his pants growing leather

Actually, compare the package in Panels 1 and 2 to Panels 3 and 4. It grew two sizes that day.

Although I don't want to imagine Philippe in those terms, so I'll just assume that the spirit of Billy Idol gifted him with a foil-wrapped cucumber.

There aren't enough non-11 Spinal Tap references these days (Matthew Mead's programming examples are one subtle example, for both you covert DigiPen nerds reading Assetbar).

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

Actually, Billy Idol has talentS.

Billy is the Google of faux-punk rock.

Thanks to this strip, we can finally confirm that Phillipe has an ass.

R.A.D. C.H.I.L.L.I.E.S.

GOD i love this alt text

Onstad just really didn't want to let go of that phrase, did he? (See yesterday's alt text and the alternate version of the previous strip.)

Phillippe has no way of getting Eddie Money, ever.

WHY FIND OUT

Ghosts are the new Rogaine.

Oh, hee hee!

Who the HELL is Billy Idol!?

I don't think Philipe has an ass. I think that was part of his Billy Idol powers. Gotta have an ass to rock the leather britches.

ROBOT ASS!!!!!

...uh, wait, no. Sorry. That doesn't apply here. Itchy trigger finger. Sorry.

For some reason, the first time I read this, I thought it was Billy Joel, and Philippe's hair just didn't make any danged sense.

I feel very dumb. Can someone please tell me how to remove that picture of the breasts and use my preferred picture?

Fun fact: my team leader at work is Billy Idol's godmother. No word of a lie.

small world, indeed! also, she must be older than dirt. dude is like, in his late 50s, at least.

Did LieBot just tell the truth?
