I don't really get the pudding joke. But the tuxedo one is my favorite. But that might just be because it reminds me of a line from the Venture Brothers.

Yeah the pudding one is confusing. Is there a different pronunciation over there? Is it more like 'putting' or something? Even that doesn't really make sense though.

I wanted to do stand-up once.  So you know what I did?  I found a comedy club with an amateur night and auditioned. 

I didn't insert my lame-ass, out-of-character one-liners into the mouth of a character in an otherwise usually funny webcomic.

It's freaking me out a bit too, but I have faith it's going somewhere.

Maybe it means you can keep your resolution to skip "dessert" but still enjoy a sweet apres-entree course by calling it by a different name.

me neither. maybe he's trying to say that something called 'pudding' doesn't sound like it would have a good taste? or that if a food item is called something else instead of 'dessert', it automatically stops being as fattening?

if youre in a building that is on fire, its probably a good decision to judge a book that is in the building by its cover

yeah this one doesnt make too much sense either. i guess he feels the need to have some judgement on it?

Every now and then the devil bites me in the ass and makes me want to do something I probably shouldn't bother about.

What I really want to do is steal JL's comments and go post them as HaterDan over at the assbar and swim slowly away from the chum in the water. Laughing.

I do like P-Money's conspiratorial smile in the last panel but... yeah.

Kind of a down day.

I am torn.

On the one hand, I definitely wanna see the fall-out.

On the other hand, the assbar definitely kicks my faith in humanity down a notch and... lately... I kinda don't know if I wanna see what that would look like down another notch. What happens when a dude is out of notches?

your dad gets out a nail and a hammer and you make another notch, and he says something about how he doesn't think it should be so hard to find belts that fit you?

I just figured out that Philippe is reminding me of Calvin in a big way. And they're only a year apart! Yet there's so much of a maturity difference between them.  Imagine if they met; obviously Calvin would tear Philippe to intellectual shreds. Whoah, what if Calvin and Hobbes met the characters of Achewood?

I could dig on the idea that Lyle used to BE Hobbes because the crushing truths of pretend-reality descended upon him and drove him into a bottle.

One day, Calvin got really into an MMORPG game online and stopped using his imagination and so... Hobbes kind of had to wander off, change his name, find a new life and just... failed at it, went Underground (literally, figuratively) and became a hopeless drunk, his competence in his sober moments rivaled only by his deep desire to avoid sober moments.
