Comments

This is my new favorite strip. Lyle being genuinely touched was a heck of a surprise.

Joseph E.

I've seen these shirts countless times and wondered "who would buy and/or wear these?". Now, I finally have my answer

Steven Saunders

This has big Kurt Russell gives Charles Bronson a birthday present vibes.

Joe Locastro

please sell this shirt

Nathaniel Keen

I just realized that these shirts are the male-coded version of Cheryl Strayed Inspirational Phrases™.

Douglas Wykstra

I really like Philippe’s little sing song delivery when the shirt arrives

Jennifer Moquin

I'm glad you decided to run this strip instead of the previously scheduled "achewood turns out to be a brief dream in the dying moments of the elephant man's mind"

Datura

This is one of those things of our current day that I wasn’t expecting Achewood to engage with, but I’m really glad it did. NEVER DOUBT a momentary diversion on the road to the grave BORN IN September 2001 BECAUSE GOD DOESNT MAKE MISTAKES BUT my wife(?) WILL

professor husband

Perhaps a shirt of the last panel, then?

John Robinson

I like it when the cartoon animals are nice to each other.

J. Alex

A Lyle shirt needs to smell like overpowering BO immediately, and will.

J Hardy Carroll

this is the kind of heartwarming shit i needed today

K. Unknown

That came through loud and clear. It does not matter what the thing was, just that it was there to provide a furtive birth with partial concealment from predators or neighbors. Stealth is health

kdusjjdhxksj

A particularly strong showing in an already great run

kdusjjdhxksj

Who?? Who says this thing? Direct me to this person or persons at once and we will get this cleared up double-quick.

Corrine Bredin

Philippe gives Lyle some much needed love. Bonus: Lyle receives love and manages not to hurt the giver. That's tough for a guy like him. I just realized I feel really really bad for Lyle.

Paul

[bows, blinks, asks if you are interested in a lawnmower with a flat tire]

Chris Onstad

Good, good, run with this

Chris Onstad

I see what you did there with the extra strip day

Chris Onstad

(It is these throw-away lines that kill me, Maester Onstad—the rollover text of yore, the divine flailing in the margins, the off-hand remark that slays. Thank you for your inspired degeneracy, and for soldiering on so that your army of disconsolate flibbertigibbets might find occasion to smile as the weary world winds down.)

Rob Dalton

I pictured a dumpster behind an Arby's, Lyle's mother grinding her teeth on a discarded wooden paint paddle as Lyle emerged, blinking and deranged, into the unpious, piss-blasted tableau; here comes a specious boy.

Rob Dalton

Oh my goodness

Charles Wheeler

We need more wholesome ache wood, to balance out the soul crushing! Maybe as a counterpoint to fuck-you friday; perhaps Wholesome Wednesday?

Allie

This is perfect

Hilary Kitz

“Sensitive Lyle”. Sure he’s a Registered Asshole, but even he’s not immune to HUUUUUGS!

Jay Williams

ah man, finally the companion strip to ACE OF GRADES!!!

Andy Kopas

I wish I could but it would be to unleash visual blight upon the world

Chris Onstad

with the child's face in the worst armpit in the character universe?

Chris Onstad

It's not his stance so much as his involuntary peristalsis of said food. Although he is no stranger to stunt-hurling.

Chris Onstad

I was hoping to convey that Lyle was of such low birth that his frightened mother-animal was just out in the wild using a boulder or truck tire to shield his glistening slime-form from a hungry jackal or badger as it emerged from her.

Chris Onstad

Some jokes should not be worn. I worry the wearer would simply be quickly identified as a clueless elder and heavily discounted.

Chris Onstad

Only Philippe

Alexander Rediger

Anyone who says Achewood isn’t back and better than ever can f themselves.

SignOfZeta

Mah heart…

Luke Harper

This might be my favorite new era achewood

joey

Philippe showed surprising insight here, but I guess that's what happens when you walk by a Truth Vase every day.

Oppido

I WAKE UP EVERY DAY AND HONOR WHERE IT IS 5PM is a pretty great "Life As Observed By Phillipe" line

Chris

this was going one of two ways and my day is brighter for the path it took so thanks

Zen Window

Lyle loves the little shaver

GruntyGinMan

so uh you're going to be selling this shirt in the store right

Sebastian Payne

I knew exactly how this was going to go, and I'm very pleased

Don Rowe

I thank the Good Lord everyday that I was not born behind something

Shawn Warren

Finally, the existence of those hideous and mind-numbing T-shirts is justified

Matthew Harris

Lyle fans our time is now

Elyse

I am Lyle and I was Born Behind Something is an absolute all timer

Chris Dubie

This is...oddly touching, which has been the case with a couple different Lyle moments in this Glorious Achewood Revival. I love it.

Dan Ford

I knew Lyle would love this idea 🖤

Cf Duddy

that las panel genuinely caught me off-guard. Bravo sir, hats are off to you

Sedric And Charlie

Lyle's really gone through some personal growth, huh

Bungus Bronbo

Oh my goodness. A mystery indeed. 🥲

Julie (HiDeeHoGal)

Philippe managed to pick out the perfect audience for that style of shirt. It's no wonder he was able to out-Sharper-Image the Sharper Image

Distant Egg Song

Well damn. Never expected to tear up at one of these fucking shirts. Philippe is such a sweet wee guy.

Ben Wissett

🥹

Lennon McAuliffe

This is a great strip.

Stephen Ellis

Philippe is standing on it (Lyle's heartstrings edition).

Brian Sutton

A man's Public Stance on appetizers is the note-perfect vignette we never knew we needed.

Mustafa Beg

"I am Lyle and I was born BEHIND SOMETHING" made me snort coffee.

Rob Dalton

Oh yeah this is the stuff.

Billy Keenly

Dawww, that Lyle is just a big ol' softy

Jacquelyn R Walters

What a blessing to witness a moment decades in the making.

Christopher Hastings

This one is really good

Greg Gheorghiu

Not the first time I've teared up at an Achewood but definitely the first time at one with Lyle

Ragnarok Johnson

"I am LYLE and I was born BEHIND SOMETHING" is pretty choice

prayergroupie

The little otter respects the degenerate tiger.

Hunter

It feels so good to be seen.

Chris Barrios

I *wish* I could pull this off.

Linus Lee

Aw that’s the cutest

Nicole Lyden

soooo new merch drop soon?
