No. When Philippe realises it's wrong, he'll start being all Philippe about it.

Lyle's reading shelf straight kills me. I mean, a Chilton guide for a freakin' Hornet! Yeah, I guess a guy might need one of those. I'm really surprised there isn't one with a booze theme, although The Man Who Hits Men probably has a high alcohol abuse factor...

for some reason I assumed "the Man who Hits men" was some sort of self-help book that helped teach Lyle to kick ass.

Post by: jough on September 16, 2003, 05:48:59 pm: Onstad may be a lazy fuck, but as long as he keeps delivering the daily funny I'll keep reading it.

And yes, I think the man who hits men is indeed a personal story meant to inspire about a man who hits other men, be it with his meaty fists or with a wrench or something.

Post by: AlohaDawg on September 16, 2003, 08:18:53 pm: Hollywood Grist? Best of luck, I guess. I'll miss Ray's Place, though, that was some funny stuff. I notice no one is morning the (hopefully) demise of the VH. Thank God he didn't take Ray's Place and leave the VH. Oy.

Pajamas, I assumed. But yes, an utterly charming stip all round.

Post by: V-Adore on September 16, 2003, 08:36:40 pm: The image of an otter in a Batman T-shirt cracks me up, especially given that the otter in question is Philippe.

I'm surprised by Lyle's generosity, really; he almost seems to have adopted a paternal/mentorly attitude towards Philippe. I doubt he'll manage to corrupt him -- Philippe is incorruptible, like a saint's corpse, except not dead -- but it's heartening to see Lyle grow up a little. We are far removed from the days of Christmas punches.

Post by: weeeeee on September 16, 2003, 10:21:44 pm: I wanted to check out the things that lyle mentioned, but my link to the anarchist cookbook online that I've come to cherish has been changed to some sort of gaming site. this is one of many reasons why the internet has sucked for me recently.

Post by: beverly on September 16, 2003, 10:34:02 pm: You ain't an anarchist if you don't have a hard copy; get one for you, and your future children

Post by: weeeeee on September 17, 2003, 02:17:02 am: I wasn't aiming to be an anarchist, plus I think at one point I was gonna print it all out if I was bored enough. I'll prolly order a copy one of these days when I get a job..
anyways, on topic, nice comic. I laughed.
