@achewood Irish Nachos are a charming take on the original, but I wonder what Uighur Nachos would be like. A mutton leg on a crisped pita?

This strip raises many questions:

Is Philippe turning into some kind of slacker?
What the hell is the deal with the fourth panel?
Is Beef drinking because he believes the Philippe campaign is going down the tubes?

There's something odd about this strip...

Yeah, Beef should just give up on this.
Philippe isn't a slacker, he's just too dopey to get anything done.

This is funny, but yeah, in some regards it seems "off" to me. Why is Philippe dressed, first of all? And why is he being nearly deliberately malicious to Beef? I can accept the idea that Beef drinks sometimes, albeit not as much as Ray, but... sigh. Please let this be from the Mirror Universe.

Seconded. Exactly the same as panel two, with Yaaaay! right after he said Okay! - pretty much filler.

I do like panel five, and the appearance of Philippe's clothing in said panel.

Should I know who "Jackie D" is?  Because I don't.

I assume it's a Jack Daniels reference. I would have expected Beef to be drinking Ancient Situation or Liquid Banjo or something else, though.

I think it's kind of amusing. Onstad brought back this storyline from weeks ago, and Phillipe has forgotten/lost interest. I like his hat.

Actually, from that perspective it is kind of funny. I feel like Philippe does about his candidacy.

No, it is not rad.  We need to intervene.

And yes, that is a bottle of Jack, I am sure.

I thought the strip was kinda funny.  It started off with good potential--Philippe dressed in his Howard Dean costume, but this time with baseball cap on.  He looks positively cute.  The middle panels seem phoned in, as they say, but the last one is extremely awesome.  Quite beautiful.

I don't think Philippe is being malicious I just think that he's 5. He's lost interest in the campaign "game" and he's ready for something else. That's why he didn't do his homework and is all sing-songy. Maybe he's ready for hide and seek.

Oh no.  I realized I was assuming without evidence that Ancient Situation was a real product  - but Google reveals no evidence of it.  I am heartbroken. I really wanted to go out and buy some.

Did anyone else imagine Philippe swaying and moving his arms to the tune of "No Opinion"?  If I get some free time, it will be my new avatar.
