Poor Philippe!
He's steering with his mouth :\
-
And turning the key with his wingtips.
I didn't know that otters wore wingtips.
-
I wonder how he's pressing the gas pedal.
-
Will Nice Pete be more pissed that he got left in the rain or because his steering wheel will be full of chomp marks?
-
I didn't know that otters wore wingtips.
Not just wingtips, but wingtip boots.
As for pressing on the gas pedal ... maybe he's using the cruise control?
Yikes, what a pickle, to not have the use of your hands in an Econoline van. I hope he doesn't crash into Ray's Escalade, because that would just be all kinds of bad.
-

If you were a giant bee what kind of footwear would you have? Of course the answer is wingtips.
Now if he was a giant wasp he'd probably be barefoot but would need a frighteningly snazzy hat. Because as we all know nothing comes between a bee and his shoes and wasps love haberdashery.

Third week now. I love how drawn-out this storyline is. I'm glad I'm reading it daily as it goes and not all in five minutes through the archives. It's much more suspenceful when you can't just click the "Next" link to see what happens.
I wonder if this will be the longest storyline yet. I know Ray and Beef's road trip was pretty long (since it tied-in with the subway wars) and Teador's party thread was pretty long.
Does anyone know what the longest storyline was?
Have I just done something bad to someone by asking that?
-
In Friday's strip I thought that the "Pukkita Pukkita Pukkita" was the idling of Nice Pete's van, but then Phillipe had to start it first thing today.
So was the "Pukkita" the rain on the roof of the van? Nice Pete's approaching footsteps?
-

My take on it is that the van didn't start immediately -- the "pukkita pukkita pukkita" was the engine coming to life, far too slow for Philippe's liking.
Today's winning visual detail: the meticulously-drawn wingtip. Who would have guessed?
-
Yeah, I took the Pukkita sound as the starter running but the engine didn't turn over.
-
Philippe has experience (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=11302001).
-
I didn't know that one could kick-start an Econoline van.
And I apologize for that stupid comment.
-
Did the Pukkitta - Pukkitta - Pukkitta make anybody else think of Walter Mitty? Or was it just me?
-
Not just you!

Longest storyline:
Devil sells Ray the ability to make music. He becomes a super star and becomes super rich. They end up going on the town in the car from Peel Out Summer and meet Roast Beef's brother Showbiz. They get drunk after Showbiz runs off and do Notorious L.I.N.C.O.L.N. On the way back they want Subway. (AT this point this merges with another storyline, it is your call whether the merged storyline counts as one, but they do it with the Nile River, so I think it counts for storylines in Achewood) Pat is a real dick with Subway, but Vlad decides to cause trouble. Vlad gets Pat so mad he steals Tic Tac and shoots Roast Beef. Beef goes to heaven and meets Molly. Ray kills Doctor Kisses the AIBO from the musical virtuoso storyline and brings him back to life. Vlad springs Pat and Pat and Pete come to achewood.
At this point it totally diverges from past events for a few strips.

Phillipe 1
Murderer 0

I think it is only right to compare Achewood story lines to the mighty Nile.
-
Not just wingtips, but wingtip boots.
With a cuban heel. A crepe sole in these circumstances may not be the most resiliant but I imagine it's traction against stainless steel when turning ignition keys would be invaluable.
Let's just hope Phillipe can slow down before he collides with Ray's truck. Just think how deep the bite marks would be when he sees that monster-vehicle looming towards him. :(

I don't think anyone has to worry about Philippe colliding with Ray. Beef, on the other hand, really ought to spend less time worrying about impossible Tetris problems and more time watching out for a van driven by a five year old otter steering with his mouth. Philippe may be okay in the event of such a crash, but not so Beef. On the plus side, Beef may just get to try out some of those extra long condoms pretty soon.

SUGE KNIGHT
You're right, Bobby. That probably is the saddest thing.
-
Wow, I leave the board and I come back to this. WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.
Anyway, the correct answer to the question is that Beef and Molly's child in heaven would be a beautiful angel of pure light and goodness and would, in the inevitable horrible fan fiction, be made to fall in love with Philippe and Ultra Peanut's child.

no, http://www.bobbyisosceles.com/songs/suge.mp3 is the saddest thing.

Not denying that the child would be pure light and goodness. Just saying the corresponding baby body pops out partially decayed and bloated out of Ultra Peanut.

God, Bobby, you're just a fountain of joy and wonder. Ew.

Say what you will, but jackals, vultures, and carrion beetles need to eat something.
You'd make a bad Zoroastrian.

This may be the best insult that's ever been thrown at me. I'm honestly tempted to make it my .sig.

Be my guest. :)
I have Avesta'd interest in seeing more Zoroastianism.

I don't know what the saddest thing is but the scariest thing is Bobby Isoceles' avatar. On the assumption that it is a self-portrait, I take back everything I ever said about being willing to get together with all you guys from the DC area.

That's not a self-portrait. That's my friend Joe.
This is a self portrait:

Wow.
Also, I must say your friend Joe looks eerily like a friend of mine.

I think it is clear that I will seriously consider this invitation and then chicken out and not go. I will stay home and play one of their CDs in your honor though.
I'm still willing to show some armadillos and naked mole rats to anyone who wants to come to the zoo, though. Come on, people. They're NAKED.

Naked armadillos! I'm there!
I have a strange love for armadillos.

I will be in DC in March for a wedding. I would love to come see some nudist mole rats! I'll let you know when the date gets closer...
Anybody up for going with me? I know, March is too far in the future...
-
I think a Naked Zoo would be just the thing. Those animals deserve a chance to watch us walk around, take a dump or get our bone on.
-
My despair is palpable. So close... and yet so far, so very far... aaagh! Eventually I'm just gonna hitch a ride to DC or something, just to come see the naked mole rats. (mmmm, naked.)

In the meantime youall can look at the webcam. LIVE NAKED mole rats.

C'mon! twenty measily american dollars to see the Johns and the Dans live and in person? How is there even a decision?

Well, partly I am just too old and uncool to go to anything called a club. But also there's the problem that I might have to work the next day (although I never know my schedule this far in advance) and I have to get up at 5.15 am to play with those naked mole rats.
And anyway just because I once met some people from an internet webcomic messageboard and they didn't murder me, doesn't mean my luck won't run out this time.
-
It's TMBG! It's one of those concerts where the parents take their kids because the parents want to see them also. Plus the 9:30 isn't really a "club"
I'm seeing them at the Recher on that Sunday, driving over an hour home, going to work the next day. Seeing them the 30th, going to work the next day, then going out that night.
-
I'm sure if we all got together someone would get murdered. The only other thing I know for sure is that that person would not be me.
Speaking of getting murdered, does anyone know of anything cool to do in New York city at 4AM - or even a better question - is anyone here in the city and wouldn't mind getting their bend-on?

You, sir, are clearly at least a decade younger and less tired than I. And a bigger fan (I just have two or three of their CDs, chosen randomly or for reasons like 'giant squid picture on the cover.')
But if it's actually safe for children to go there, I'll think about it.
-
I hate my life... if TMBG played in my province, I'd sell my soul or at least my watch to go...
who am i kidding, i dont own a watch...

As would I. Despite not having listened to anything by them since about 1993.
And I don't own a watch either. Oh no, I do, I was given one again, but my cell has a clock, so it's easier than remembering two things.
And I wouldn't give that away to see TMBG 'cause I'd get billed for some fuckers calls.

Which is one reason not to go. I already had my hands full managing this one. (http://www.chiaroscuro-dc.com)

Improbably, I stumbled upon a novel about Naked Mole Rats. I have no idea what this means.
Naked Mole Rats Book (http://www.atlas-games.com/product_tables/AG2701.html)
Enjoy.
