Gotta love checking up on blogs and finding this:

This and "dirtcrap" have made my day.

Geez, just how distinctive can this car be? What, did he get a rainbow metal flake Prowler or something?

Yes, dirtcrap is splendid.

No, Onstad's not paranoid at all.  Not a bit.

He looks so skinny in those track photos.

He only THINKS I use NIN cds. I use AOL cd's!!

Man, nobody's stalkin' Onstad over the internet. His dog, of course, is another case entirely, but hey.

Didn't somebody track down the stuff he did for his college humor magazine back on Dumbrella?

At the risk of becoming serious for a moment, I would argue that they're different circumstances. Onstad is a humorist, and thus tracking down his earlier humorous works is at least somewhat germane to his current output. It doesn't strike me as particularly stalkerish, especially given that he published some of it later (the Ranier Beer strip).

I do not understand what Pat is trying to accomplish. Blogging his poetry as a form of aggression? Foolish, and so un-Pat-like. Burning the poetry into Onstad's lawn with lye or something, or perhaps researching the decibel limits of public performance on the street and hosting a Support Group poetry slam in front of 'stad's house... but how is he accomplishing anything? It's not like he can strap anyone down and make them listen to it Clockwork Orange/Vogon style.

Foolish? Yes, certainly.

Un-Pat-like? No, not really. Bear in mind: as far as Pat's concerned, the universe revolves around Pat. Maybe people admire him or maybe they hate him, but nobody just doesn't give a shit what Pat puts in his blog. If someone doesn't like his poetry, it's because that person is an enemy and doubtless will shit himself in terror on learning that Pat Reynolds can't be intimidated into not blogging his poetry. The silent majority that is Pat's devoted reader base will cheer him on, but Pat doesn't fight this battle for them. He fights it for the principle of free speech.

He is fighting a one-man war on everything and the only witness is the clerk whose job is to throw away crank lawsuits.

I think Ben pretty much has it. Furthermore, Pat believes that the truth and beauty of his poetry is such that anyone who reads it on his blog will become an instant convert and will join him in protesting the harsh, harsh world that would ban his work. Eventually even Onstad will be forced to respect him. As far as he's concerned, the parable of Tamara is just speaking truth to power.

I just tried to look at those pictures of Chris and my company's internet filter said that it was pornography. It just wasn't meant to be looked at.

This is absolutely normal.  If I read someone's book and like it, I go and read their earlier books.  If I read someone's work on the internet and like it, of course I would go and try to read more of that too.

Still having the link to the dog show results, on the other hand, could be argued to be creepy, but I maintain that it's just because I never clean anything out of my bookmarks.

Are these early comics still about anywhere (apart from the beer one of course)? My curiousity has been piqued

There's early artwork on display here.
