WTF, Onstad? WTF?  

Well, maybe Lyle can save the day by telling Phillipe that voting is for chumps.  If Lyle ever voted, it was probably for Harry Browne or L. Neil Smith, and when his candidate failed to crack 0.5% of the popular vote, he probably swore off voting forever.

Whatevar, FAGS

Great things about today's strip:

- Teodor's treatment of Philippe's campaign as routine; "I'm just trying to get some paper towels, Philippe."

- The exchange that takes place in panels 4-5.  I like Teodor's immediate "Is that a statistic?" and Philippe's emphatic "Yes."  Complete with facial expression.

- Philippe's posture in the last panel, as though he's working out a plan to save the economy.

- Somewhat tangentially, I can think of at least two or three dozen dogs I've known or seen to whom the name "Mr. Poopytime" could be adequately and hilariously applied.

I rarely laugh out loud at Achewood strips, but "Mr. Poopytime" did it for me.

Hell, he's got MY vote.

You can't have soaring peaks without deep valleys.

Can we see Liebot's Butt again?

I'm reserving judgment. However, I still find Philippe somehow artistically disturbing -- he doesn't quite look right.

The look of studied concentration combined with a little disdain on Philippe's face when he says "Ahem" makes this strip for me.

And apparently, hands are the hardest thing to draw.

Particularly otter hands, surely.

Cleft/cheek jokes aside, was that a peak or a valley in your view?

I'm a bit disturbed by this strip as well ...hmmm... now that the hand thing was mentioned, I looked again and.... yeah, creepy.

I also don't like puppies ...har.  the name is amusing though :D

It's relative. It's a small hill next to Mr. Poopy#####.

I'm sorry, but if you don't like puppies, there's something terribly wrong with you.

I mean, PUPPIES.

Okay, I s'pose they're cute enough, but I'd never want one.
I had a bad time with dogs when I was little ..now these were BIG dogs, but they must've been puppies at some point, eh?

OK, for two days now I have been wondering - Why has Philippe chosen to campaign from what is apparently the garage?

There appears to be a closet between the kitchen and the master bath. I think he's in the hallway by that closet.

Plus Onstad turned the garage into another bedroom/office.

And now that I look at the blueprint I think the bath and bedroom1 are swapped.

But in the actual strip, the windows behind Philippe are the same as the garage windows in the outside view of the house, and there's that funny lock on the doors.  

Is this inconsistent with the blueprint?  Shocking.  Onstad needs to hire someone new in the Continuity department.  Maybe the guy went off drinking with the alt-text writer and wasn't paying attention.

Now that I look at it the driveway doesn't line up with the former garage either. According to the blueprint the right section with the large window used to be the garage.

Please don't interpret this as condemnation or any other form of opprobrium, but debating the floorplan of a cartoon house is beyond my limit of fanboydom.  Feel free to carry on without me.

Just make sure you're wearing your tinfoil helmets before continuing with this conversation, kids.

Shine on, you crazy diamonds!

My 2 cents: I first thought it was the garage too, just because it looked garage-esque to me. But who knows?

Be careful of your anoraks.

I feel compelled to point out that I did not look at the blueprint.  I can't even remember my Serializer password right now and I have no idea where my Achewoodfleet Academy graduation regalia is....  

But:  HE IS IN THE GARAGE!

Apparently, Onstad agrees with you, because he changed the alt-text to explain the hands.
