Now, we drink! We feast!  We spit in the face of death for another day!  BAH!

Great Vlad strip.  It is kind of nice seeing Philippe strips.  So simple, so brilliant.

I love how Phillipe's necessities for a journey to the transfer station consist of

  • a ladle
  • pork and beans
  • a sheriff's badge

Love it.

I notice Vlad shaved off the rest of his hair.

I would be completely satisfied even if this was a one-off, actually.

Edit: I guess I should say more than one sentence. I kind of feel like the #####s are collectively Phillipe's crazy uncle. Liebot is the crazy uncle when he is saying horrible things, and Vlad is right now the crazy uncle saying things the little man needs to hear.

Edit 2: I think Vlad made pierogies or something to feast upon with Philippe. He seems ready to follow through on that part.

Vlad should provide commentary to every strip, like a DVD bonus feature.

It probably couldn't be audio, though, no voice actor would be good enough.

Oh shit.  I think I just invented the future of webcomics.

I should probably delete this post, but actually I guess would prefer to have the idea stolen.  Times are too busy than to get all caught up in voice acting.

Free audio commentary.  Hmmm, bandwidth costs money, doesn't it.  Damn.  I guess I'll just have to wait for the future, after all.

Vlad makes me glad to be alive.  He makes me want to rage against the world and rise up so that I might punch God in his haughty craw, all the while just twisted around the bend on a handle of Aristocrat.

Also, you've gotta love the *THUMP* as Phillipe latches onto the couch, as if he thinks by holding onto it, they'll realize the error of their ways.

Honestly, after the hit-and-miss of the GOF, the past two strips have been wonderful, as if Onstad has been stalking the coffeeshops of Austin, Texas for the past month and heard my bitching. Probably not, what with the baby. But Lie Bot and Vlad are favored characters for me, and it's been nice to have them back in action.

Hahaha, Vlad sadly decided to shave off his Taxi Driver hair.

Uh-oh...This strip is not a one-off.

Adventures with Phillipe and Vlad.....Could be cool.

Vlad and Philippe's designs look so weird to me, although I couldn't say why.

Also, it's nice to see that one automaton actually treats Philippe okay. I can see Vlad and Lie Bot as two halves of the "crazy uncle" equation, really.

Maybe it'll be one of those series like when Roast Beef went to the moon and not every strip was about him and his adventures ... that'd probably be a little bit better for everyone involved (unless this storyline is over by the end of the week).

Archetypes! This strip reminded me of the dead poet society, only I hadn't seen it a-dozen-or-so times. It was really good.

I hope so. That would be nice.

What if this story arc actually becomes a rite of passage arc for Phillipe, and he comes out of it a man-otter?
