This is just a little comic with a little idea in it. Lyle does not burst through the wall with a buzzsaw, raging about the inadequacy of the present. Maybe this comic is kind of peaceful. It is a snatched glimpse of a small moment. 

There will still be the usual new strip Friday. Today's comic is just a little one. I like to think that Sparky Schulz would have read this in silence, noted that it was a smooth experience, and then gone into the other room to see what his wife was up to. (She was reading a different thing, a small article about Johnny Carson's love for memorizing lists, and she finished it right about the time that he came in.)

I was ready for Connie to drop the hammer on young Phillipe.

I like the occasional Achewood that DOESN'T immediately skewer my heart like a lump of kefteh at a kebob joint.

Ben Sunshine-Hill

Okay, now for step two, you need to understand the impact of pH on the texture of short grain rice…

nice.

I can vividly picture Cornelius shaking his head very slightly as he says "No" with an expression that resembles a sort of facial shrug.

Jay Williams

He’s lived a lot, Connie has, and though he can occasionally get cranky and cynical, he’s a fundamentally decent and kind fellow, with the compassion that comes from living with the best and the worst of life. Nice way to start a Monday, Onstad- gives me a little hop in my step; good stuff!

Cy Heffley

amazing simple thing to start the week. at first i thought this was from the archive, it feels like something from 03

Joe Locastro

And yet again Mr. Bear is my favorite character in this comic for gems like this.

Isaac

You big softie!

Walter Cooke

Would also work as a '15 years in the future' comic with Connie behind the bar at The Dude and Catastrophe tutoring a teenage Philippe.

Crumbles

Ah nuts, now I have to re-evaluate how I'm living my life based off an assessment from a cartoon bear.

Eleanor Pratt

I'm giving birth to twins tomorrow and this was just the ticket xx

Nate

I love it and the reference to The Great One, RIP.

In the day Beef was my favorite character. We had a lot in common. As I've gotten older I've started to enjoy Cornelius more and more. I have young people now who come to me for advice for some reason and I try to keep Mr. Bear in mind when I dispense what little wisdom I have. This strip is very good advice.

Kyle Cassidy

Here's to a smooth delivery and a swift recovery!

A. Hamster

That is the hammer, if you’re devoted enough to stay with someone until their end.

John Ashton

This made my internal monologue say "aww, shucks" with an intense vigor.

Shawn Warren

boy, you sign up for a comic patreon for some laughs and you end up getting the secret to life. pretty good deal

Onstad spears to be taking the Flork Wholesome Monday route and I'm here for it.

Rob Dalton

Jesus, Onstad — this is a gut punch of lovely wisdom and unvarnished sincerity. Thank you. "Allow that there will be something you love, and let it teach you devotion" is up there with Shandling's admonishment to "Give what you didn't get." Words to love by.
