Phillipe is not retarted. He is five.

Edit: He is not *retarded. I am.

Not to be too forward, but I am also soft like a baby lamb.

I would say Yes you ARE! Yes you ARE!, but I would feel very very wrong about this

I don't.

Yes you ARE! Yes you ARE!

This is the best comment thread

Yes it IS! Yes it IS!

I will love you forever, comment thread!
Up to and including three years after you started!

There be hugs and kisses this way!

hellofyellin racks up 330 chubbies in 3 posts.

[i]OOOOOOOOHHHHHH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

Man, that was back in my heyday. I was pulling some mad chubs back then. I miss those days.

In the words of Zeus...

WISE FWOM WO GWAVE!

Awesome. You are the awesome. Altered Beast. Good knucklehead times.

WELCOME TO YOUR DOOM

Its been one year and not one mention of how you said you pulled chubs. I expected that double entendre to be picked up immediately!

HELLA YELLIN ABOUT THE CHUBS

You're wrong. According to Ultra Peanut, he's a retarded homo jackass.

Man, Ultra Peanut is a straight up bitch. Phillipe is way too good for her.

Cubby for the reminder laugh.

Yep. Ultra Peanut talks to him like they've been married for 10 years.

Hemingway wishes he could write a six-word story with as much pathos as the above post. Take this chubby, you need it more than I do.

I don't think Phillipe's retarded. I would NOT, however, rub money that came from Circus Penis all over my face and body.

I would also not place it under my eyelids and demand that strippers "take Ray's money!"

UNH!

Oh man, when phrased as such, Circus Penis sounds like some fantastical club or disco.

That'd be Penis Circus.

See, some guy tried to sell my wife tickets to his Penis Circus and I beat him to death with a tire iron to retain a tenuous grasp on my identity as a male.

Now I feel like we might have missed out on a really great show.

i dont know what more precious, the male ego, or entertainment that possibly involves more than one male sex organ.

Or his latest venture, a hotel/casino on the Las Vegas Strip:

[IMGS OFF]

Jesus, what a Tee shirt that would make.

Reposting myself (riposte-ing myself?):

I'm glad you did this, but we can't do it to all of them. Who decides to turn images off anyway? And why is this person/group such a dildo?

There's some exploit in BBCode that allowed some unscrupulous types to gain control of the Achewood message boards through a certain image filetype. Thus the decision was made to turn off IMGs, to protect the site from further vulnerability.

Don't know if BBcode folks will build a newer version, fixing that exploit, or perhaps add a feature for site owners to allow only certain types of non-exploitable image files. (jpgs/gifs?)

Also don't know if Onstad would allow images to be turned back on, even if this were fixed.

Also don't know if anybody even WANTS images back anymore.

Why wouldn't we want them back? Many of them were great and the bad ones could be ignored or lamed out of view.

Some of my greatest ever posts here were images.
They got me mad chub-streams.

69 chubbies! Sweet Heysoos!

i wanted to chubby this, but you have EXACTLY 69 chubbies. not wanting to spoil that

I admit to experiencing a great deal of momentary concern when Circus Penis says he'll do a "trick" for Philippe and reaches off panel.

Agreed! I sorta started to freak out in the middle of the Whole Foods Cafe. No people are looking because I'm laughing and typing. If I had a Bluetooth thing in my ear, everything would be fine, but I don't, so I just like like a lunatic. FUCK!

Concur. But the fact that he tactfully omitted the "penis" part of his name for introductions told me he wasn't going to do anything raunchy/illegal. (...is it illegal to expose yourself to stuffed otters?...maybe just stuffed 5-year-old otters)

That's okay, sometimes I "like like a lunatic" too.

Always walk around with a Bluetooth thing in your ear. That way you can say whatever you want to the voices and no one has a problem with it.

Philosophically speaking, I think Phillipe's onto something here. Now, when encountering a new object, I do my best to consider it not only in terms of its material uses, but also its tactile and aesthetic properties. It gives one a very valuable sense of perspective.

chainsaws

Foley catheters.

I think this is one of my favorites of all time. I used to be like this with money when I was a kid. Its immense power totally fascinated me.

I like how Circus Penis introduces himself as simply "Circus" to children. Circus Penis has class.

Do you work at the circus?!

In frame 8 I thought Philippe would have to grow up too fast. But thankfully the only money-shot was a literal one.

Oh yeah. That panel right there, you know Onstad is at ease in his craft.
For the split second C-P reaches around for the "trick", he's hangin' us all out to dry.

I feel so ashamed that it took me 5 years to get this part of the joke.

I think any strip that starts with Philippe in pirate garb, advertising hugs and kisses is an automatic 5/5! OMG, Philippe, how I love you!

also people with elliott smith-related names automagically receive chubbies

I love the word "automagically". I don't know if that was intentional or not, but you get a chubby regardless!

Arrrhh! Me hates ye!

id like to see more of circus penis. he was a pretty neat character

I like how Philippe just throws off his costume in excitement.

Also: Now he can start paying off his debt to Ray for those four licenses for Eggs and Milk Pro.

thats just the effect circus penis has on people in general

Am I the only one who imagines Circus Penis has the same voice as Hank Scorpio from The Simpsons?

Philippe, don't go threatening hugs and kisses to any old soul who crosses your invisible border. This will only lead you into trouble later in life.

But also, hell of cuddles .

Today's Blogs

Philippe: I thought of another haiku!

Circus Penis has a friendly, easy-going demeanor. More porn stars should be like him.

What makes you think they're not?

I guess direhaggis is a porn director.

I'm not implying an evidence of absence, although I can see how it could be interpreted that way. There'll always be people hell of such as Circus Penis or Rod Huggins in any given profession. To my mind dude is just generally good people for being friendly with children, encouraging an entrepreneurial spirit a la Teodor, flying a plane what all is shaped as a cock, etcetera.

There is nothing more terrifying than a pirate threatening you with hugs and kisses.

"I doubt seven dollars was ever promised so much in this world"

Absolutely fanTASTIC alt text. One of the best.

The pornstar made the little otter exultant with seven dollars.
Awww.

sooooooo in my top 5 now...

oh god why is Philippe so cute oh god oh god.

On another note: the first (visible) comment on this comic spells his name "Phillipe." Several people have since commented with the same spelling, as well as a handful with the correct spelling. This led to severe confusion in the typing of this very comment.

Why is this five year old answering the door for circus penis? Such as pirates are not afraid to open the door for strangers.

You're just not the same anymore, eight dollars...
