They are hairlip bog-zombie hobos. Obviously.

Phillipe finally went too far, and now he is going to pay with his life. Since they are ugly and creepy, they are evil and probably eat baby otters.

Canned. Even if "harelip" is misspelled.

Yeah, my initial reaction was pretty much WHAT the FUCK, and I seriously can't keep the strip open on the screen. I can't look at that tall one's face. Too creepy. Are those his eyes? Are they just sunken, skin covered depressions? Are those them on the top of his head? Or are those his nostrils? Why oh why did I wait until 3 AM to see the strip?

I zzz Téodor snif beddy bye indeed. Christ.

Ray and Beef interlude is just classic Ray and Beef. Still, it's such believable dialogue. Those two are straight-up friends.

EDIT: Oh wait. Those are grown-up outcast sea otters, aren't they? That's why they both have gross otter mouths. Maybe we're seeing some sort of disturbing foster care thing develop.

The tall one's face. I'm imagining a face covered in leporous gray skin, maybe a small red blotch here and there. And there are no eyes.

No eyes.

There's something there, under the skin. Something that twitches and moves and provides sensory information of a sort.

I was doing ok on this one until I noticed: is that a bone showing at the elbow of the standing one's shirt?

And yeah they do kind of have otter mouths but then everyone in achewood has kind of an upward mouth thing going, I'm willing to guess the standing one is an otter but not the sitting one I think.

This seems to be the whole 'creepy guys help out young helpless dude in distress and turn out to be nice' situation. They're too creepy to be evil. But then again.. this is Achewood, so who the fuck knows?

I'm hoping for Phillipe's long, painful death at the hands of hooks or something.

Eh...probably nothing...

But I find it interesting that what appeared to be the one-off in between the GOF arc and this one was Lie Bot telling Phillipe a terrifying (to Phillipe) story right before he went to bed.

Just saying is all...

I take back what I said the other day.  Yes Mr. Onstad I will have your freakish lovechild on this fine day; I need to find a uterus first though.  Maybe out in the dumpster.


Anyway, Delicious strip.. just delicious.

Mr. the Stad seems to have a thing for characters who travel in pairs; not that I'm complaining mind you but: Ray and Beef, Emeril and Spongebath, Troubleman and No-No, &c.

Beef's sass in the main is grelicious as well.  All pulling up his bracelet indeed.  Ray's ego re-fulfilling coverup shows Beef got to him a little bit I think.

Yeah, awesome character designs. Again, it's the mouths. I mean what is the wheelchair dude's mouth supposed to be? And yet it works. It's horrible.

I too, would actually like Phillipe to die. I love the character but his ugly death would be an everlasting reminder that Achewood takes no prisoners.

Oh God, those holes! I just realized they might be ear holes. Guys, the leprosy got his ears.

Creepy as those dudes are, I think this will turn out OK, as they just saved Philippe from freezing to death.  Cliche, as Judy says, but whatever.

There there, theinevitable.  Remember what I told you about Heaven?  That's where Philippe will go when he dies a dreadful death at the hands of his eyeless and legless friends.

You win, because that is one of my favourite strips ever.  Thank you for that.
