3/7/05: This one, prick?
« on: March 07, 2005, 11:16:18 am »
So much good stuff here: Lyle's non sequitur cameo, Ray's "Can anyone hear me?" even though for all he knows, it's just him and Dr. Andretti talking... but I think my favorite bit is Beef in Panel 8.

Just look at that facial expression. You just know he's thinking "okay fine i'll sit here and listen because the alternative is getting up and walking away and if i just sit here and listen at least i don't have to hear pat talk but if i get up and walk away then god knows he's gonna go off again and maybe i might get shot".

Or is it just me?

I agree.
Also agree with the choice of title.
Pat, I love to hate you. How can anyone call Teodor a prick?!
I foresee an exorcism.
Achewood character's dressed like clergy!
Whooo!

Clearly the title should have been 'Mayhem.'

This payoff for this cliffhanger was definitely worth the wait.

My current favorite part is Dr. Andretti thinking Ray is simply agreeing with his suggestion to take a pepto bismol by shouting AAAIIIGHT!!

That bit stood out for me too. I had a strange feel that this strip didn't all gel quite. So much is happening in it, but looking at for the third time, it works. It's just, and I noticed due to reading more of the Calvin and Hobbes that Watterson comments on (the Sunday Pages book), that it takes looking back on it having got it. It's not a simple one off gag, it's more complex than that.

So was Pat clearing his throat to make sure all the attention was on him, or was he just trying to focus or what?

Lyle gives terrible hints.

Dude looks constipated.

At first I thought Teodor had a baby monitor in his pocket.  You know, maye Ray's in Philippe's room or something, and for some reason Philippe has to be monitored.

Oh, and I guess Battle of Chickamauga, because it was one of the deadliest battles (the second) and the South won.  Pat, being a dick, would choose a very deadly battle, and definitely supports the South, but not in the name of racism, but because of the holy principle of States' Rights.  I know people like that.  They say things like "I would have supported the South, but not in the name of racism but in the holy principle of States' Rights" and they are total dicks about it.  Like you know they are just saying it to shock you.

Or maybe Chancellorsville.  Spotsylvania (because of the three it was the deadliest for the North)?  (Yes, I'm looking at a site with the top ten costliest Civil War battles.)

Federalism, bitches!

I think I would have to choose Pat's banjo homage to a deadly civil war battle over the prospect of a Paul Prudhomme sex tape. I definitely second the ewwwww!

Nah, you have to watch the Paul Prudhomme sex tape; it compels your attention, like a train wreck. Come to think of it, it's exactly like a train wreck.
