that's a good strip that deserves to exist and it wouldn't work if philippe wasn't saying something incredibly offensive

It's not even a phrase Onstad coined, it was someone's catch-phrase on Project Runway.

It's being said by a kid, I mean I'm not a tranny but it doesn't seem offensive to me. The fact that he doesn't understand how offensive it is is what makes it funny.

No you don't understand. It's offensive therefore it's bad and Philippe is literally Hitler.

What I'm saying is erase Tumblr from this reality.

Not here, no, but that kind of reasoning is behind Onstad just popping in and apologizing for basically no reason, "just in case", which is kind of lovely.

I'm presuming he 'popped in' to say sorry because he wasn't previously aware of the extent of the offensiveness that the word he used in the comic had, which is what a decent person who doesn't actually want to perpetuate lovely attitudes via slurs does. Yes, the joke is that Phillipe is saying something he doesn't quite understand in a charmingly ham-fisted child kind of way, but the thing is that Onstad decided to use that phrasing initially, and then later realised it wasn't a terribly kind thing to have done unknowingly and wanted to apologise to anyone he offended in doing so. It's bizarre how frequently that's written off as kowtowing to crazy internet people when it's just a case of being considerate towards marginalised people.

That is such an Achewood line that I'm almost sure it's verbatim from a strip. He's turned into one of his own characters.

If you have a problem, you may in fact be the guy saying "human being" the way old telegrams said STOP. Do you have a haircut? Are you pissing into an empty?

This is literally what he did, yes, you're on the money. He wasn't kowtowing to the skeletons or whatever, he was just trying not to be a dick because someone went "uh hey this is kinda not cool a little."
