Oh no, not Lie Bot again...
Wait, it's not Lie Bot, it's Vlad! ALRIGHT!
Oh no, he lost the Taxi Driver...
But wait, this is his best strip in years! ALRIGHT!

But I gotta say the thread title should be "Be Stronk".

And that I totally agree with this:

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.

But what about this guy?
Apparently he's Hollywood's token eastern-European.

I'm all for cartoon characters with bindles. They're right up there with two diagonal lines to indicate glass as classic inconography.

When I was little, we had a sofa that I became attached to like this.  But we didn't get rid of it until I was in my teens, so it wasn't so traumatic (plus it stank by then).

Why a sofa and not, say, a bed or chair or something?  I don't know.

And as I was typing that I realized that I still have the chair that sat next to the sofa.  I moved it across the country with me.  I meant to get rid of it but I haven't.  Why?

This is a thing I must ponder.

Roger I think you may have found the man for the job. At first I too was thinking that nobody could fill Vlad's shoes, nobody! But I'm imagining Rade Serbedzija's (that guy's) voice as Vlad and it seems to fit. Obviously it would need some tweaking but he'll work, alright!


Vlad and Philippe are my favorite characters, always have been. So needless to say this strip was AMAZING to me. Vlad's words spoke more than any human (or alive stuffed animal for the matter) ever could. I related to this strip and had a relationship with it. We're never going to see each other again but it was fun while it lasted. It was definitely a nice turn around from the standard "torture Philippe's brain" sort of strip.


And to anyone who claims "Too much Philippe!" I say draw your weapon at once, Sir! For I demand my satisfaction!

When it's phillipe suffering horribly then it's never TOO much.
And make no mistake, though this storyline will be short the suffering will be great.
A sheriff's badge can only get you out of so much trouble bucko.

You can just see the reasoning behind his choices though: You need food so pork and beans makes sense, and you need something to eat it with becuase you weren't born in a barn and you're not meant to go into the drawer with all the forks and knives but the ladle is just hanging right there next to the counter and if everyone knows that your a sherriff (even if you're only a pretend one) they're bound to help you out and do what you say. YAY! HUGGSS!!!!

[Golfhaus]

He's taking a can of pork and beans, but no can opener?

This otter wanted to run our nation, people.

Was anyone else thrown off a bit by Phillipe starting off a sentence with "Saaaaaaay..."? That sort of expression doesn't seem like a normal Phillipe speech pattern. Maybe his is becoming a Man-otter. Or the Kwisatz Haderach. Take your pick.

[AugustWest]

I really like Vlad.  I would like to hang out with him and drink some beers or play the banjo.  He is a good fellow.

What will you say when you run into this strip again at an inopportune moment?

Best panel is panel 4.  "They're throwing it away?  Nooo!  NOOO!!"  Priceless.

He's taking a can of pork and beans, but no can opener?

Dude he is an otter, he could just roll on his back, put it on his chest and hit it with a rock.


Or he could use the sherrif's badge.

Haha, That's exactly who I always hear when I read a Vlad12Roses strip.

[Drastic Action]

As for voice acting, that dude would seem good..  but I of course have to suggest Eugene Hutz (of gogol bordello).

[Crun]

Lie bot... Vlad... man, the next one better have some Chucklebot for me.

[jough]

It would be really funny if this story arc just ended tomorrow.  It's not a one-off, it's a two-off. 

Otherwise, this strip is mostly setup and letdown.

When I was little, we had a sofa that I became attached to like this.  But we didn't get rid of it until I was in my teens, so it wasn't so traumatic (plus it stank by then).

I had a reaction somewhat similar to Philippe's when I was young, but instead of pining over the loss of a beloved sofa, I was heartbroken (as much as a five-year-old can be heartbroken, that is) because my parents got rid of an old stationwagon that we had had all my life (five years is a long time to be alive, you know, when you're five).  I didn't go on a bindle-toting adventure, though; but I did cry as I watched my parents driving the car down the street and out of sight.
