Yknow, I think it was Slink who called this strip a conveyance method and I kinda agree there.  I also think 'West is onto something with the bluntness of the dialog being off putting.


Well, it was like Basil Exposition showed up.  And of course I agree that Pat is a dick.  It just struck me as being a little over the top for him -- stylewise.  The "sat on canary" thing was perfectly in character, but "smoking Mr. Gary's pole" just didn't seem like something Pat would say to me.

I am anxious to see what happens next.  Maybe Pat needs a serious beatdown such that he would have to spend some time in hell.  He could run into Todd while he's there.  I'm also concerned about Mr. Bear.  Assuming he will regain his health, he ought to be allowed to participate in any vengence wreaked upon Pat.

I forgot that was from AP, and somehow my brain said "Ernie Kovacs" - I was thinking of Percy Dovetonsils.

I hate to speculate on plot, but my first observation:

Arthur is also in anger-management therapy, and while he's holding it together than Pat is, his voice is raised. Are we gonna find Pat beaten to death with Arthur's sunglasses?

STAY OFF THE BEACH, ARTHUR!

Percy Dovetonsils would be smoking an orthicon tube.

This post contains a clue.

Excellent thread, etc., etc.

It strikes me as significant that Pat knew about Arthur and Mr. Gary's pole and smoking and hadn't said anything to Pat about it. Usually Pat can get excercised even about non-deviant behavior, and reliably apoplectic about anything that contravenes the slightest provision of the Law. But he didn't say anything about deviant homosexual sex performed in public. Hmm.

Like I said, it's somehow significant, but I'm not sure how or why.
