Fie on you for not naming this thread "the braggadocio of a Rap person."

And Philippe accidently gives Lyle an idea for his next series of movies involving various foods paired with Magic Gravy.

Also, Philippe should not pour boiling Magic Gravy in his eyes. That would be . . . disturbing. I'd link this but Achewood.com is being for suck right now and keeps timing out.

The AbnrmlJstr I know would force the achewood servers to respond with an appropriate response.

You're getting old, dawg.

"I fie upon that"? Is that some obscure usage of "fie" that I was previously unaware of?

Maybe he's just so upset that he wasn't bothering with proper usage.

Great strip.

When exactly did Mr. Bear stop being a basically well-meaning, if slightly fussy, responsibility figure and turn into Pat Reynolds Again? Did I miss the memo?

I dunno, I find it arbitrary and dumb. Achewood really doesn't need another Pat. and part of the humor of Mr. Bear IMHO comes from the fact that he's not actually a dick, just far more fastidious than those who live around him. Also, pushing the "Philippe is hurt because of a misunderstanding" button strikes me as less melancholy now and more just mean-spirited.

I think that's the joke, V - Mr. Bear is usually so understanding and genial and indulgent, but he's just got this one thing he can't stand, and poor little Philippe, well, he really fucked up this time (that is some terrific alt-text, by the way).

Do you like the idea of Philippe turning out like Little Nephew? You do not.

Thank you Zartan.  I think it's consistant with his character as well.  He's very genteel so it would stand to reason he would really have a strong dislike for such a vulgur medium as rap music.

Eh, it still doesn't work for me, but I certainly am not the only reader of this free daily comic strip. If it works for others, more power to y'all.
