The first panel made me laugh out loud in that abrupt-setup way. As in, "What in Hell is Phillipe wearing? Oh, it's a party hat? Is there a party?" Seriously, almost every panel was funny in a different way.

All in media res. All floating timeline. All unreliable narrator.

It's interesting that Philippe is five and is having a birthday where he turns five.  I know it's an inevitable consequence of having characters that don't age, but it always seems weird to me.  Does that mean that his previous birthdays take place on the same day as this strip, or does this replace them in continuity, or does he literally just turn five again every year?  And if so, when was he actually born?  I got distracted by thinking about that and couldn't really enjoy the rest of the strip, sorry.

I like to think about the biological implications of alive stuffed animals. I was talking to my mom about this just the other day. For example:

  • When Mr. bear got shot, he bled blood, and had to go to a doctor for who treats real cats. No stuffing, no Chris patching him up with a sewing kit.
  • The animals can clearly drink, smoke, eat, excrete, and get it on.
  • What is it like when an alive stuffed animal is born?
  • What is it like when an ASA dies? Do they decompose? Does the little skeleton remain?

Freaky shit, man.

Todd doing cocaine at Ray was actually pretty good. I had never thought of this before. No one said it could be done.

My first thought was flashing back to Todd's last stint in rehab. He loves leeches! He's always getting his leech on!

My first thought was that Onstad had finally lost his mind. I know, don't ask me to explain what makes this different from all the previous strips he's ever done.

Aw, this is kind of a touching strip.

Even Todd can come up with a thoughtful gift for Phillippe's birthday.

The gift of not-really-doing-cocaine. 

So sweet.

I registered to say Wombat is right.

(yes, you can quote me on that)

Never before has there been a strip in Achewood that would have compelled me to exercise the full power of LOL WUT.

Also Philippe's underarm bowtie.  A normal man would wear it above the shoulders.  A (retarded?) otter wears it under.

SNIFF SNAFF SNOOF is excellent.  And if Todd ain't snorting cocaines, what WAS he inhaling?

The gift of not-really-doing-cocaine is a great one.  I'll break that out at the next wedding reception I am obliged to attend.

I dunno. It seems an awful lot like Philippe's birthday 2 years ago to me.

I especially like the parody of a typical comic chase scene of panel 7.  Except, instead of a guy running after a pet who just ate his hamburger, it is Ray chasing Todd because he is doing cocaine during a five-year-old's birthday.

I would just like to say that I laughed really hard at several panels of this strip, especially this thread's titular panel.
