This is completely a character piece, and maybe a relief from the rather heavy previous story arc.  Philippe's child of imagination and wonderment cast against Cornelius' refined adult intellectual.

What makes a chicken cooler to fellow chickens by breaking the species barrier, as opposed to dogs?

And er, ah, isn't it the rooster that, uh...?

[Alternate]

It's not that interspecies mating is cool for chickens and not for dogs, it's that the chicken would be jumping ranks, while the dog would be stooping to a lower level.  It's like how when a dog mates with a human the human is shunned by her peers and the dog's friends consider him quite the fellow.

Much as I hate to disagree with Philippe, I am not sure that the non-biteyness of a chicken's head is really an improvement.  Birds strike me as rather pointy and unpleasant in the head area on the whole.  And don't forget this important safety tip.

[V-Adore]

I like the phrase "an incipient soup of malformed organs and translucent bones," personally. It conjures such as Images.

[theinevitable]

just now, I yelled out "oh god, that is so unfortunate!" and my roommate, well, I was afraid to look to see what face he was making at me.

this was pretty good.

Philippe should stick to 3/4 views

[littlefallsmets]

I dunno, I found his full-on facial shot to be...

Endearingly hopeful, really.

All the more hope for the rest of the cast to crush and, hence, all the more funny to we the reader.

[melack]

I'm a little more concerned with the reverse shot of Phillipe rather than the fully-forwards shot. It makes his nose look gigantic. What was once a precious little otter nose now looks fully Ronald McDonald-esque from this angle.

[Drygioni]

A farmer must get three items across the river: a dog, a chicken and a bag of grain. How do we solve it? We mate the chicken and the dog. The resulting offspring, while possessing the useful features of a dog, cannot eat itself or the chicken and detests grain. Drown the dog. The farmer can take the items across at his leisure.

Phillipe should have been more upset in that last panel, really. When is the last time he cried? Not recently enough.

"The 'I don't want to cook that'-ness of a dog's body"?
Poor Philippe's in for a shock when he learns about the eating habits of the Chinese.

[Fooker]

It's like how when a dog mates with a human the human is shunned by her peers and the dog's friends consider him quite the fellow. 

Do you have video footage of this? 

[Alternate]

Do you have video footage of this? 

Yeah, I do.  Except I taped over the mating part, so it's just a video of a human staying home on prom night while her dogs give each other high fives.

I bestow a tiny can upon your wit with my newfound powers (may they always be used for good, and not evil).

I like the way Cornelius treats Philippe here: he answers the questions in a serious tone and treats him at least as respectfully as he does Ray. This is the way a Gentleman and a Five-Year-Old converse.

Either that or it indicates something about Mr. Bear's opinion of Ray's maturity level.
