I have very little to say about this strip.  I just haven't had the opportunity to start a daily topic for a while.

I'd like to have some world leaders over for a barbecue.  That would be fun.  I'd make pulled pork.

This strip was funny enough that I forgot about being pissed because Onstad still isn't letting us know what's happening with Beef and Molly.  I mean, we learned that Philippe and Ray (the childhood version, anyway) are BASICALLY RACIST! Even if they didn't mean it.

Ha, man, anything can be funny with "basically" in front. Basically treasure, basically racist, basically dumb. Good stuff.

Basically a decent strip.

I'm sorry. It's been a long day already and I am very tired.

Yeah, that'd go over very well with the Jews and Muslims.

I guess Onstad's taking a break from "the funny" for awhile and going with the "vaguely disinteresting."

Shame.  The Burned-Down Heaven storyline has so much promise, and the 'stad can't think of anything to do with it.

I beg to differ.  I am sure he can think of what to do with it.  He just wants to torture us by making us wait to find out.  He enjoys seeing us writhe under his mighty powers of emotional manipulation with which he can make us suffer agonies over the fate of a probably temporarily dead cartoon cat.  Of course I mean he would enjoy it, that is, if he read the messageboard.

No, no, I mean he kindly granted my wish to see Philippe again!  And to have a respite from all the tragedy!  Thank you!



PS. Carlos, love the avatar.
pps. counting down the minutes till the grammar cops debate starts on that usage of 'disinteresting'.

Now don't get me wrong.  I love Philippe.  He's great.  I plan on voting for him.  The frist strips I ever read featured him, and I was hooked instantly.  It's just that lately he doesn't seem to have the same charm.  I'm a bit tired of Candidate Philippe.

Funny, I'm the other way around. I really didn't care for the whole Philippe for President storyline at all when it began (the highlights of the first chunk probably being Todd's interview and "Tell me you're not financing his campaign"), but the last few strips have been really quite funny. Maybe Onstad is just writing a Philippe / Prez strip whenever he thinks of something funny to do with it, as opposed to feeling obligated to carry an entire arc with the concept.

The storyline isn't that bad.  It just seems that Philippe's a bit different than before.  Kinda miss the old guy.

When I wrote that, I thought about adding "plus something else for the Jews and Muslims," but opted not to bother.  Leave it to Jough to call me out on it.

wombat, thanks for the avatar props.  I decided having the title and location, AND the avatar of the Mayor, was a little too obvious.  Moo I say, moo.
