I think I see a new T-Shirt. But I've thought that I've seen new T-Shirts in the past and I've been wrong, so this could be another one of those cases.
If Philippe makes it onto the ballot, there's no way that Nader's gonna win this year.

I thought Nader wasn't running, so as to not dilute the votes that could go to a decent(ish) Democrat nominee?
I may be wrong. Or he may be waiting to see if Kerry does become the nominee.
Anyway, I'd totally vote for Philippe. Although his stern little face is beginning to scare me ever so slightly.
And if Ray is the campaign manager...
-
Ever so slightly? Phillipe is scaring the ever-living hell out of me right now.
-
So Philippe is all pissed-off like Howard Dean, right?
I guess this one wasn't very funny, but okay. We'll see where it goes.
And since his commercial was being run on the Underground Broadcasting Network, there's no telling that their constitution has anything about someone who's five becoming president.
-
They didn't even bother to come up with "The Committee to Elect Philippe" or anything. Just flat out Ray Smuckles. He should really check with Beef before he does things.

I'm trying to see this as Onstad trying to turn the convention of having a cartoon character run for President on it's ear. Like trying to transform the system from the inside or something. Sure it's a tired cliche not worthy of Luann, but this is Onstad man, if anyone can make this stale bit fresh again it's him right. Right?!? I'm taking a wait and see approach.

Philippe for America...what a lovely font that is.
Yes that is a lovely font.

Dammit Chris, stop the motorcycle now _before_ you get to the shark tank. Please?

I always used to like it when Bill and Opus would run for president. I especially liked the one Sunday strip where they had the different candidates interpretations of the lyrics to Louie Louie. That was GHWB, Dukakis, and Bill, if I recall correctly.
"If I lip curl, away afro bee..."
-
I still find something more than a little disturbing about the way Philippe's being drawn. Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's the fact that he's angry, but he fundamentally doesn't look right.
However, this entire plot arc is better if you assume Philippe is running for president of the Underground. Or something.

It's those eyebrows, man, and those tiny waving arms. The white-collared dark shirt is very presidential.
Who is more electable: Kerry, Edwards, Dean, Clark or Philippe?

Agreed; that was always hilarious.
I wonder what the rest of the infomercial was like? It says "This half hour brought to you by Ray Smuckles." Half an hour!
-
It was probably 20 minutes of Philippe describing how Mr. Poopytime will end sadness.

Wow, andalucia. Geek points awarded.
-
I was about to say the same thing about Philippe's stern face ..mayyn, and I thought most strips with Philippe in them (beyond the teenage version) turned cute ..this one is quite ..intense.
The slogan is pretty catchy though :D

*sigh*
Stunning!

Well, come on, what else could "tiny waving arms" possibly conjure up but the shocking exploits of Purple Tentacle & co.?

The proper response is, I believe, WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE.

I prefer "WHAT IN THE LIVING SHIT IS THIS?!" but I imagine WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE will also serve.

God bless the Internet... if it's not Roy Orbison in cling film, then it's Shrinking fanfics (http://www.the-minimizer.com/swc7.html).

Hang on, can we go back to Orbision in cling film please... What the hell!?
-
The "Roy Orbison in cling film" thing was fairly obviously a joke on that sort of fetish site, sadly enough... however, the shrinking thing is taken seriously, almost morbidly so, by a great many people. I love and hate the Internet at the same time.
At one point I had a story inflicted upon me by a "friend" that fits this topic nicely, and now I feel obliged to pass it along. WARNING: Really odd gay smut about shrinking and the Brawny Paper Towel Man lies beyond this link. Follow with care. (http://nifty.org/nifty/gay/celebrity/burly-paper-towel-man)

'Hello Roy,' I say. 'What are you doing in Dusseldorf?'
Dang, man, the number of times I've said that....
