Not much funny going on in this one. I guess it's more of a "plot-advancing" comic. Gotta wonder if an Ultra Peanut reunion is in the works, though!

[melack]

Also, the barge. As far as Onstad's vehicle artwork goes, I gotta rank that below Ray's Escalade, but above Vlad's Datsun. Am I saying I would rather ride a trash-covered barge than a Datsun? I will let you decide.

I am fascinated by the contrast of the obviously american hobo and the word 'ken' which I always love.
Phillipe is still looking a bit worse for wear.
I though ultrapeanut was from japan?

[theinevitable]

hm.

I really did not like it. I am not really sure why.

I do not like this hobo fellow. He is too initially friendly.

I really like this one if only because I will enjoy assimilating the expression "all ... same as what", and I love the implication that China is having a couch shortage.

Well why do you think they always sit on the floor? I'm sure they'd rather do a tea ceremony over a nice Shaker coffee table while seated on an Aztec-print castoff sofa. It'd look just like a morning TV news show's set circa 1993.

I don't think this fellow is a Hobo. I'm thinking that he works at the Transfer Station. He looks a little healthier than the rest and he looks like he has a worker's jumpsuit on. And he said "We'n sell 'em to China..." "We" as in the Transfer Station? Plus look at that face, that is a silly happy face full of yay. Look at that smile and those crows feet. Crows feet happen due to too much smiling. This man has smiled all his life. He is no hobo. I rest my case!

I kinda like this guy, although the facial hair gives off a slightly Nice Pete vibe. I'm still of the mindset that nothing too horrible will happen to Philippe (especially given how family-friendly Achewood is), and this is just the beginning/middle of another unpredictably odd storyline. Of course, I say this now and next week features Ray eating some fresh otter from one of his "guys".

Actually, while I like Philippe I think that'd be a pretty funny storyline ... they could even have a return to Hell when Ray finds out he ate Philippe and his conscience turns him vegan, so he chokes on another Tofutti-Cutie and dies. Or maybe he goes to Heaven and finds Philippe and brings him back to Earth.

Or maybe I just need to get more sleep at night.

The barge evokes in me a great feeling of dread.  I thought it was all OK now, that Philippe had a handle on all the creepy people at the dump and everything would be OK.  Foolish, foolish me.

As I recall Ultra Peanut appeared to speak Chinese.  Also, tea ceremony is Japanese.  It's just as easy to keep these things straight, people.

[vagittarius]

Phillipe is going to get onto that barge and then the storm comes.

[FlipConstantine]

He's going to swashbuckle his way onto the barge, hit some junkie-pirates over the head with his sheriff's scepter and then grab his couch and live happily ever after yay!

Actually wait, he'll ride the barge all-the way to china, after becoming the leader of the Junkie-Pirates by besting their leader in scrabble and he'll be reunited with ultra-peanut, but then he'll have to win the approval of her father by journeying up a mountain and slaying a Dragon.  But instead of beating the dragon with brawn he uses his wits see?  And he convinces the dragon to part with one of its scales as proof.

I bet you I'm right about all of it.

[robot_god]

What is "y'ken?"

[Hobo Frenzy]

I read "y'ken?" as "you keen?" or "Do you understnad?" but the lack of a second "E" has me thinking otherwise now.

[jough]

Ken the noun means "insight or understanding."  Ken as a verb means to have an understanding of something. So "y'ken" means "you ken?" like "You understand?"

Education.

[robot_god]

Thank you, good sirs.  I have never heard that word, I suppose it is a hobo word.
