Meh, except for Old Phillippe's hairstyle.  Roast Beef: not the most empathetic cat in the world.

I tend to agree with you on the strip, but Male Pattern Baldness Phillippe is classic.

You guys are crazy, I'm digging this one.
Phillipe going to Beef with a Problem is a perpetual motion machine of fear.

Hasn't Beef ever heard of a simple earache? Those things aren't really causes for concern, in my estimation.

That's not the issue, though.

Dude has the depression. Dude just sees sadness everywhere.

In Dude's head, he IS sugar-coating it for the impressionable kid.

The Depression was telling him about gory infections with fluids and such. Things festering into your brain and making you think you're being eaten by cockroaches that look like your grandma until The Good Lord finally lets you die. That is what The Depression tells him.

When The Depression is its worse, you don't consciously remember that The Depression's talking no more.

This is the life of Beef.

Well I don't know about you guys, but I find the mental image of a cochlea being blown out of your head by an exploding ear infection and ricocheting off a weather vane so hard it makes it spin round totally hilarious.

This is improved if you imagine the cochlea making a little "ping!" as it ricochets off the weathervane.

Also, for someone with no grasp of obscenity, degradation, or much general foulness, Philippe still manages to portray a pretty good Lyle in his mind.

Or that Lyle did not age in Phillipe's imagination?

Or Phillipe seems to think that if you're deaf, you only don't hear SOME words, as would happen in a wacky sitcom misunderstanding?

There is a lot this strip has to offer.

It is not the very best there has ever been but there is definitely hidden value there.

The little strip that could.

It looks like he put little patches of duct tape on himself. What is he trying to do? Does Lyle have a plate in his head?

I think Phillipe has picked up that Lyle Does Bad Things, and that Doing Bad Things somehow involves Knowing Guys who can Make Things Happen.  There are obvious dots to illicit behavior, and his mind searches to connect them.

Ah!  Turtles.

I am a big fan of regular Lyle, but I think I might love Lyle in Philippe's imagination more. That is totally a shelted five-year-old's image of a vile person, all wanting a turtle to get run over.

Not to mention the look on imagination lyle's face when he realizes that poor innocent deaf phillipe might be interested in crushing a turtle.  It's so heartbreaking.
