Todd vs Pat round 1.
Pat's "take only one" is perfection.
See, I want to be Ray or Teodor but I have to admit to being more Pat-like.
Except for the vegan, super-healthy thing. That is not too awesome.

I think we've all waited far too long for Pat to get some comeuppance, though its kind of cool that it wasn't for any of the many illegal things he's done, but simply because he's Pat and, lets face it, 'Guy Sucks!'.

God damn, I swear even vegans don't eat that shit.
It still made me laugh though.

It had to either be Moby or Goldfinger.

This is just a great strip. There is so much I love about this strip. First of all, the plot is great. Everybody is so completely in character. "Only take one," indeed!
And the art is wonderful. Pat's expressions are subtle but meaningful. Ray's face in the first panel. Beef in the fourth panel is terrific, but on closer examination, I think I like Beef's expression in the seventh panel even more.
Also, this strip is great because Pat gets stabbed. What a dick!

Carob-covered prunes are insanely raunchy, but grilling meat less than 1' from a toilet is...fine...I guess.

What happened to Todd's tail? It seems to have lost the bushy flip-over at the end and now just looks vaguely club shaped.

I think I like Beef's expression in the seventh panel even more. You're right, that's great. He's still getting over how gross that fucker was. Looks like he's about ready to dry heave. |

I like how Teodore's face changes from panel 5 to 6. He looks mad to hear liquor-soaked cherries slandered so.

What happened to Todd's tail? It seems to have lost the bushy flip-over at the end and now just looks vaguely club shaped. More importantly, what happened to his stutter? Did the beat it out of him in prison? The stutter could be from neurological problems caused by insufficient myelin due to malnutrition; since Todd is Fat, it is clear he is getting the cholesterol and B-complex vitamins he needs for good nerve function. I tend to believe that an artist's creations are representations of a part of his or her personality. Clearly Onstad is in part a mixture of all of these characters. I would not want to see Onstad when his inner Pat comes out to play. |

Best detail of the strip for me: the fact that Todd can't shank Pat above the ankle. Bets that this will not go well for Todd in future?
Also, watching the expressions is great, especially Teodor's growing irritation. You can tell he was willing to consider the carob, but the prunes? No. No, no, no.
