Eli is a heavy sleeper.
Who is that striking fellow making off with Eli’s fillings? Why it’s Boxcar Pete, the lovable transient stab-happy hobo. Pete will have his fill of fortified wine tonight, I tell you. The alley behind the Burger King will echo with the songs of his adventures.
I know this isn’t your typical HE fare. No geek references or Cylon jokes. Sometime I like to draw squirrels. This was one of those times.
(It means, “The Most Dangerous Nap”)
While I admit my lack of Spanish acumen, six years' worth of Latin study makes me think there's something wrong with that phrase's gender alignment.
Wait…that didn't sound right. What I mean is: should it not be La Siesta?
Didn't Pepper have one of those dinky little phones in Iron Man?
Always nice to see Pete!
Typo in last panel: no space between 'tastes' and 'like'
Also, Eli is his own geek reference.
Squirrel in the mouth FTW! And the cardinal. And the rat in Boxcar Pete's pocket. (Which was there at his first appearance, but I hadn't noticed then.)
Poor Eli. Don't know if NyQuil will help this cold.
I'm spanish, and although each word translates as indicated, the sentence is wrong, as seandalf said. It should have been: La siesta mas peligrosa, in that order.
Careful when using babelfish!
your spanish hurts my brain.
Why does Eli know what hobo fingers taste like?
Hobo pete is the final Cylon model, I saw it in a vision of the BK alley way!
Damn that Fish!
Fixed it. Thanks.
Yes. Why does he?
Oh yeah, well, how's your japanese? 4 years was it?
A dying hobo will know the truth of the alley way…
He's actually got mono, but I didnt think you could get mono from a bird. Which is to say he probably has bird flu… or squirrel flu or hobo and mouth disease.
Its just a bluetooth headset. No one seems to use those any more but I didnt want to draw 2 phones.
I'm terrible. It's fixed thanks to a comment below.
one of these days you'll need to tell us more about Boxcar Pete's adventures. i bet they'll be horrifying 😀
is it wrong that I totally thought the hobo was face raping Eli? or at least getting ready to mount him and do so?
You're not the only one. That frame looks like it's depicting the pre-mount phase of said face-raping. It wasn't until I read the next panel that I noticed Pete's hand in Eli's mouth.
When I had mono, I played Final Fantasy on my NES. I recommend that over park napping.
I thought the same thing, which is why I explained it a little at the end. If he has said " everything tastes like hobo penis" then you should know for sure.
Not terrible at all; I srsly wish I had better input than to join all the other FBs in the picking of nits. On the positive side, kudos for the squirrel, as well as "twice-shat shit." Impressive.
Im sure he'll pop up from time to time.
That cardinal looks like it has some sort of dysentery… and is shitting toothpaste. I wonder, did Boxcar Pete clean it out or did Eli swallow it?
Did the bird provide it's own bathwater or is he bathing in Eli's drool? Inquiring minds want to know.
Oh and, Feel better soon Eli.
I giggled out loud, because I could see that bottom middle panel happening on my block in the Richmond.
Is is me or does Boxcar Pete really dislike Eli whenever he is in the comic?
This comic struck home. I'm a heavy sleeper and I'm the guy who passes out at parties only to have shit glued, drawn, welded, etc. on him when he wakes up the next day.
Still not fully correct. Should be "peligrosa" (as Lucas said) because siesta is a feminine word.
shut up shut up shut up
Have you ever played the Jelly Belly game where you put a jelly bean into your mouth with your nose pinched and try to guess what flavor? And you can't do it until you let go of your nose?
It's cause most of your taste actually comes from smell. You nose is actually "tasting" the air. Meaning bits of whatever you are smelling is actually IN your nose.
Just thought I'd share that.
you just got サービス.
I smell prequel!
So is a baby hobo going to burst out of his chest?
<Homer Simpson>Mmmmmm….hobo fingers!</Homer Simpson>
<Homer Simpson>Mmmmmm….hobo fingers!</Homer Simpson>
More like "hobo in mouth" disease. Ew.
I know this wasn't typical HE, but I ROFLed at this one! Right at the beginning we have "twice shat sick" and from there, the squirrel… I just about lost it there (in a good way). I think this was especially funny for me because I also had a bum put their fingers in my mouth.
jk – but I am a really heavy sleeper so I can *almost* totally relate.
I think Eli was out there for so long that rain water filled his mouth, and then the bird found the perfect water hole.
then you…..fail, for not going that route.
Most altered HE title EVAR!
im going to assume it involved a previous job, in mexico.
in about 9 months. Its the magic of life.
It rained at some point and Eli's mouth filled with water.
check AJ's comment above for the answer.
"Hobos! They're everywhere and they keep sticking things in our mouths. What can we do? Story at 11."
oh, they have a history.
People that glue rubber dongs to your face ARE NOT your friends.
Dont back out now. You DID have hobo fingers all up in your grill.
Shit, if the news reported every instance of that, there'd be room for nothing else.
