Nightlife is Pat.  We already know he owns the hat and he grew the stash 'cos he's on the run.  Him and Nice Pete are like a modern day Thelma and Louise.

Huh.  Good point.  Lessee now, have we ever seen Pat and Nightlife together?

If Onstad uses this in a future strip, it's proof positive that he's not only reading the board, but also sucking our precious creative juices from us.

Other than the hat and glasses, they don't even look alike.

I guess you missed the beginning of the dumbwaiter storyline, but it's the security force from the home entertainment center security.

Ray is still back in 1882 with Philippe and Mark Twain, witnessing the birth of James Joyce, who was born that year.

Man I've lost touch so bad with what's supposed to be happening when! I just spent 48 hours rolling around in bed in agony, unable to get more than 20 minutes sleep at a time, and trying to pop online to see what's happening, and not really remembering a whole lot of it (damn codeine!).
It's been an interesting coupla days...

why do I continue to take codeine when the after-effects are so horrible?

Because otherwise you have to live with the pain? Few other things that make any difference to it (my personal one is Ibuprofen with codeine in - very effective, but is still codeine).

On the on-topic note - it's nice to see that Nightlife is still around. I had been reckoning he was a brief character just brought in for those few strips. Nice to see such a great character is now hanging around, particularly given the comment about Dr Andretti being gone now (may have been Onstad having a laugh mind).
And Nice Pete could be good to still have around, given how superb the 'murder is like basketball' strip was!

Are you telling us that James Joyce is Santa Claus?

This is the image Noah tried to post and I agree, they don't look much alike.

You tried to link to an image on geocities, which they don't allow. Neither does tripod. It's been that way for several years.
