Nooo!
Why doesn't Pat get himself a whooping from the other achewood characters?
If Lyle was here and "out of order"...
The last panel is gold though. That's why I read Achewood.
Super random!

This strip is actually dated as yesterday's, but it was only added like an hour ago....

I love how Roast Beef has the number of days memorized. The message at the end confused me though, it's like the caller shifts from being Paul to Travis. Just a mistake, I guess.

Why is everyone so willing to forgive Pat?  Why, I ask you, why why why?  He's such a TOOL and he needs a serious beatdown.  Why do they put up with him?  What good does he bring to the Achewood family?  Did he save Chris's life as a child?  Do magic tricks?  Play the harmonica?

Why do they continue to put up with Pat??

Maybe they all got together and decided to "forgive" Pat to drive him insane with guilt. For the next week or so they'll all be super extra nice until he just snaps . . . well, moreso.

I really like the use of linear perspective in this strip...answering machine large and in the foreground.

No, the dentist just named his wife's root canal "Paul".

Welcome Mattgiraffe!

My call is that, yes, either they're trying to drive him insane or they're trying to lure him back out to where he can actually be arrested/mad shot/whatever. I'm not sure it would be a plan that Mr. Bear would concoct, but maybe he's been picking up lessons in vengeance from Lyle.

Last panel: gold.

That Pat Reynolds has to be the luckiest son of a beeyotch in Achewood.

I hope it's some fiendishly-complex pattern devised by Mr. Bear to lure him out of the house. The "everyone forgives Pat because he's.. uh.. loveable" idea doesn't sit well.

Also, hey, I'm also new.

It must be the latter; Pat is incapable of feeling guilt. His assholiness - the true, dark heart of his core personality - dictates that he is never responsible for any of the problems that befall him. It is always the fault of the Other - the Mexicans, the Chinese, the Pole Smokers, the Samoans. The only thing he has to worry about is reprocussions - and those are never his actual feelings. All he does is fear the irrational behavior of those who surround him. They obviously cannot comprehend the reality of Pat's situation - that he is a rock-solid island of reason and sanity in a world that is hell bent on destroying his own logical constructs.

I hate him.

Welcome, Mattgiraffe. We like cartoon cats. If you do, too, you might enjoy it here.
