Not too hot on this strip.

Make a line for those of you unhappy with the title.

[bonaparte]

I'm wondering a few things here.

Firstly, how does a dog sense that a ***** is afraid of him.
Secondly, in the fourth panel, is anyone else slightly disconcerted by Magnus's huge sac?

[Doc]

Come on, what's not to like? If nothing else Pat's terror is worth a chuckle, have we ever even see Pat afraid before? I think we only ever had it referenced in relation to the duck that Ray ate with steak fries.
Also, you can make out Pat's bizzarely muscled physique as he shies away from the angry dog.

I do kind of hope this wraps up soon though, Cornelius is winning a little *too* easily for this to keep my interest much longer.
Also: We have another of Onstad's wonderfully juxtaposed real-looking drawings in Magnus, complete with tastefully obscured sack.
Also: Look at Beef furiously drink that cup of coffee.

Bonaparte: His fear gauge of course.

[KeithHernandez]

I want to like it and think it is funny, but if someone else could win once in a while that would make this thing alot better.

Also, the work on it in your driveway consideration makes the last strip more enjoyable.  I thought that was pretty classic.

Not till you pointed it out, thanks a lot.

Cornelius winning twice would be repetition, but Cornelius winning for the third time, as he does here, is, as we have discussed elsewhere, a recurring theme.

[KeithHernandez]

Yea, but it is a recurring theme that makes the strips lame and predictable.

[misterqueue]

I agree on Corny winning EVERY TIME.  It's like.. man, no one wants a shutout.  And don't give me none of that "But Lyle got the last answer right too!"  That is basically a cop-out.

If a dog could bring me coffee, I just might think about having one.  This seems like a very useful thing.

Yes this is a terrible topic title, but I am not so heavily invested in this strip so whatever floats the proverbial boat.

[theinevitable]

dude cornelius owns, stfu.

He didn't so much bring coffee as he nudged a cup that was already sitting in front of him.

Well pffft... even an infant can do that if properly trained/shock collared.

[mrdna1]

I think it works because Cornelius is becoming a badass for even more absurd reasons. However, I do agree that there's maybe one more challenge left (if that) before this storyline starts to get tedious.

Making the pasta instead of the bread? Okay, so he's pretty creative.
Holding an overwhelmingly civil conversation with a convict? Yeah, Cornelius is pretty damn classy.
Picking "Eliminator" as his car of choice? Well, there weren't any overwhelmingly British sports cars in the list.
Being offered coffee by a dog who wants to rip the throat out of everyone else? Yup, looks like we've achieved proper Achewood levels of weirdness.

And better titles? "Yes, yes! He's offering him that cup of coffee!" would've been my choice.

[cellardoor]

Is Liebot facing the other way in panel ten?
That is ambiguous.
Also, Beef drinks the coffee at the start and leaves the coffee next to the cage.
Not that this means anything but it at least explains where Magnus got the coffee from.
Awrrr?

[Fooker]

I would have used the "Go away before you get the whole pack killed or I'll kill you myself" title.

[theinevitable]

wait, so, why the hell did Cornelius pick the ZZ top car? That is not him at all.

also: I have this effect on (some) dogs. My dog growls at and attempts to bite my dad (who is 6'4" and... big) if he comes near his food. If I enter the room while he has food, he retreats to his bed and watches me sadly. "oh dang why do you got to be the alpha now I don't get no ladies nor food" is what his eyes say. it is adorable. especially the look of gratitude on his face when I refrain from eating his dog-kibble.

Isn't it because he knows that it is the right answer?
