And Lo!
Pat is hung by his own petard.
Another spell in chokey for Achewoods' resident bumhole methinks.

[slink]

I like seeing Teodor's boat again, the one that cuased so much trouble last time, as Pat gives himself away.
I for one, wouldn't be sad to see Pat get his comeuppance. I think escaping with Nice Pete, was not really comeuppance.



NO COMEUPPANCE!!!!!

[cellardoor]

Whatever happened to Nice Pete?

[Steve Hogan]

"Sit on a canary" is classic put-downage.

[andalucia]

Yeah, gay people are funny.




[this is lame]

[CortJstr]

What about the FCC crackdown you fool!

[arkabee]

that's a boat?  i thought it was a non-copyight-infringing-rendition-of-an-airstream.

[V-Adore]

See, I think Arthur comes out the better of this -- if only for the line "is that your absolutely gross way of finally admitting that you know I'm gay, Pat?", which is about the classiest way to possibly come out to Pat Reynolds.

Also, the boat is back? That's fairly awesome, if only in concept. I sense shenanigans on the horizon.

(Alternate thought: Pat is finally forced to come out. I mean, why else do you think he keeps putting up with Nice Pete?)

I loved this, and I am so glad Pat is back, and it makes me feel like I am a  sick person.

Time for more Philippe!

I find myself oddly ambivalent about this strip.  There are elements of it I like a lot.  Glad to the see the boat and there are obviously some good lines.

However this strip seems a little uncharacteristic for Onstad.  It's a little overstated -- a little too direct.  Acheworld is usually so oblique that the straight-on fag jokes were a little jarring to me.

I can see that, but Pat as a character is like that. It goes hand in hand with his Mexican comment yesterday no? Also, well, it's all just a carriage for us finding out where Pat is anyway.

[Nabubrush]

That got pretty rough.

I'm looking forward to developments in the whole "Mr. Gary" storyline.

I feel that, too, but I after considering slink's comment, I gotta say, yeah, it fits in with the whole "Pat hitting rock bottom" thing. And Arthur's "absolutely gross" line is pretty good, as is "YOU'LL NEVER KNOW ANYTHING SO BEAUTIFUL."

Hmmmm. I can definitely see your point of view on this one, but I think I'm in consensus with Bozack and Slink: this is Pat, after all, the one who brought us the Affirmative Action Archipegalo and believes the Chinese Mafia will have him shot for suggesting there are secrets in their kitchens. Thusly, the combined stress of being on the lam again for accidentally shooting someone he has no trouble with reveals his own latent, repressed homosexuality and the associated anger towards other homosexuals. Arthur is, merely, a convenient target.

I'm still wondering what conviction was responsible for sending him to court-mandated anger management in the first place.

I'm assuming that it was attempted assault on some poor counter-drone at a fast food place or somesuch.
