I would enjoy it more if he didn't have the subtitles/translation there (I speak German, see).

I like the idea of "remember how I don't speak german?"

I liked this one.  Not sure why.  Probably my secret suspicion that when I try to talk Spanish to my coworkers it actually sounds like "My hovercraft is full of eels" to them, and they're just pretending delight at my competency.

I can't recall if there's been a canonical reference to his origins. I could just be that in the minds of us Americans cultured and gentlemanly = English but I think things like Scotch eggs and his pub are pointing in that direction as well.

It's sad that Roast Beef's comments about McSweeney's now applies to Achewood.

That would be hurtful to the artist if you weren't a 13 year old living in Ohio.

Beat'n to the inevitable Python reference, though I prefer "My nipples explode with delight!"

Which is basically the same joke as the strip.

I, too, am amused by the idea of someone's not knowing German being the driving force behind something patently unforgettable by all.

I am pretty sure I have never been in a situation where my ignorance toward the Teutonic tongue created timeless results.

We had a German exchange student when I was in high school but he is in a mental institution now so the language barrier had little to do with it, I suppose.

I suspect there is no doorbell, I suspect Teodore simply wanted this conversation to end.

An ok strip, not a world-beater, but at least the title is correct.
