Gotta love Lie Bot and Philippe, although this one is hardly up to standards.

Seriously, Chris - S A B B A T I C A L.

Say it with me.  What's next, Lie Bot pushing Philippe off of a table, or shipping him to Abu Dhabi?

Now I'm curious why he was digging the hole to begin with. I guess he was just that bored.

Does anybody else have the song Ana Ng stuck in their heads because of this strip?

Did you not dig holes when you were five?  I'm surprised I never severed a buried utility line of some sort for all the holes I dug.

Yeah, you know, I've been lurking on this board since October, or whenever Onstad started posting here. At first I thought that everyone was unreasonably harsh on the comics. But now that I'm commenting on (nearly) each day's comic, it's easier for me to realize that there just often isn't a lot of praise you can heap on these individual strips. I think they really do read better in the archives, where you can briskly skip over the mediocre strips and eventually land on one that truly makes you laugh.

So, not a lot to say about this strip.

While there may not be a lot to say on the comic itself, aside from what's been said IN the comic, I like it a lot.  At first it's just Lie Bot being a dick, as he is wont to do, but then he turns it around, and I can just imagine Philippe just standing there, furiously debating himself for hours.

After all, he's a former Presidential candidate, he's got to consider the foreign policy angle - this could be HUGE.

I like Lie Bot/Philippe strips, but this is kind of eh. It's not really an interesting Lie Bot lie.

Maybe I should take a couple days off, see if my perspective gets any better. Ash might have the right idea.

Please explain.  Google tells me he is a "Cajun cook and humorist" and/or drives cars real fast.

I enjoyed when the young otter said "Marvelous".

He was referring to Lie Bot saying "I ga-ron-tee" in a New Orleans accent. I didn't recognize the guy's name but as soon as I saw cajun I knew exactly who he meant.

The debate above re: comments on a particular strip perfectly illustrate why we don't lock wandering threads but encourage them.

He was a Cajun-themed cook who had a show on PBS, and used to say things like "Dis hawt sauce'll spice thing up I gar-on-tee!"

He had numerous cookbooks and pretty much single-handedly made Tabasco Sauce a regular fixture in many households.  This was back in the 80s when the only condiments on hand for most North Americans were katsup, mustard, mayo, and maybe A1 or Worchestershire sauce for steak.

Some of us more than others. I still think there is a lot of premature lockination going on around here.

I thought Paul Prudhomme is /was the guy who guarantees.

My family has about a million of those cookbooks.

Also, if anyone ever had the "Cooking with Dom DeLuise" CD-ROM that came out in the mid-90's, wow. Just ... wow.

Thanks for pointing out that reference. Looks like Lie Bot is exploiting Philippe's love for tv chefs.

Phillipe shows an amazing grasp of geopolitics for a stuffed otter who is five and/or retarded.


now it's even a better, better thread.
