A Respectful Awareness of Diabetes - 12/14/2006

[V-Adore]

I thought those panels were the throwaway joke.

V, don't forget that Philippe is in therapy for something. So there's more to him than just being 5.

Well, I think this gets back to the Achewood Hypertime thing. Philippe clearly used to be a retarded adult in therapy for something at the beginning of the strip... but in the beginning of the strip, the Underground didn't exist, the alive stuffed animals couldn't get pizza, and Ray had an owner. In the current version of the universe, Philippe appears to just be 5, although he may be in therapy for his many traumas.

(Speaking of which: is Franky dead yet? I sorta lost track.)

The only way it could have been better is if it had been prefaced with "ker-" or "ka-." ker-DELETE!

Bless.

Of course Ray always wondered if there would ever come a day when he'd be writing to Readers Digest.

Franky is not dead yet, nor has he gone to Hollywood.  Prediction: Lyle eats him in an alfredo pasta dish.

I wish I had seen this faster so I could beat Cort to the punch. Yes I learned it from bill watterson.

this strip is funny. I like the idea of Tough Customer Ham Pockets.

I think I permanently like Tough Customer Ham Pockets and I've never even tasted one.  That is how great this cartoon about talking cats is: It has made me permanently like a fictional foodstuff.

Interestingly enough this past Saturday while I was out Santa-ing with my Santa friends we had a Santa gorilla.  He was supposed to be handing out banannas to the children and lecturing them about the dangers of type II diabetes from eating too many sweets, but he was too preocupied with getting drunk so I did it.  Earlier in the evening, independantly of the other Santas I gave oranges away to the children.  At one point I  was surrounded.  I thought I was going down like Gulliver.

I've said it once before, and I'll say it again: Paul runs in weird circles, man.

[Carlos del Vaca]

Yeah, but I think Paul has approximately 80% more fun than I do.

[Turbo Ninja]

Damn, Paul.  I'm not usually a fan of Christmas but I might have to run with the inspiration from your gorilla-diabetes-fire-hot chicks-moustaches style and totally OWN Xmas in Ohio.  You, sir, know how to rock it and you have shown me the light.

That post was my Christmas Miracle.
