7th August 2006- These days, bein' gay is, like, one better than having an iPod!

Not sure about the subject line for this, so any better suggestions are appreciated! I did my best.

So now, we just wait for Pat's 26th birthday. Pat is definitely the kind of guy who has a birthday party with a big speech at the end.

I like how that even in 1328 Pat's ancestors wore glasses, and that the commoners wore the Victorian style muttonchops. This isn't a thinly veiled attempt at pointing out mistakes. It just makes things work, in an Achewood way.

Edit: Forgot the bloody link. Sorry.

dang. I was sitting here, a tab open, thinking "what websites have I not checked today?"
and a scant few minutes later, our own Judy beat me to the punch. Oh well.

pretty... funny?

My iPod is broken. I guess that's like... being a gay dude who doesn't get any?

So how old is Pat now? Because I'm thinking that the curse kicked in a few years ago.

I'm under the impression that this is the kind of curse which you can't really suppress and so it is still to happen, but you're a lot smarter than me so I think I'm probably the only one thinking this.

(If you were joking then I apologise for taking it over seriously)

I'm pretty sure if anyone could suppress a curse, it'd be Pat.  ("Mr. President, I figured if anyone knew where to get some Tang, it'd be you...")

Not funny ha-ha, but it's a setup strip, I shall withhold judgement until these events hold themselves to be self(creationarily)evident!

Right-o... I shouldn't even be allowed to post today.

Despite the delightful backstory I am simply furious that Pat is gay

No it is like a dude who can't stop thinking of Sean Astin in "Click" and does not want to ask himself why

On an unrelated note, I once met Sean Astin's mother.  She was very nice.  She smoked a lot.  One right after the other.

in a doubly-related story, my friend was staying with a german family for 2 weeks.
he turns off the shower, is about to towel himself off, when the german dude busts into the bathroom. naked. and says "one after ze other, ja? ze water will get cold!"

I can do a really good imitation of his voice, but you cannot hear it.

I think the curse kicked in a few years ago but that's Pat's personality is such a force of nature that he's able to surpress the gayness via the power of barely contained rage. Hence Pat's "true self" in the photograph a few days ago. Although you will notice that we've never seen Pat date any ladies, so he's supressing the gayness but not reversing it.

Also, I don't know if I like the idea of posts where I equate being gay and a curse being saved onto the internet for posterity. Future generations may not have the comic strip for conext. Attention Future Generations: I do not thinkg being gay is a curse. Also, I've apparently been reading too much Dinosaur Comics. Thank you.

Judy, Judy, Judy.  You of all people should know that, to this day, all Englishmen are required by law to have muttonchops.  Why, soon you'll have your very own!

With regard to the strip itself, the trailing-off "QUEEEEEEEER" was a nice touch.

What kind of disaster would spare the messageboard for posterity and yet destroy the comic?  Much as I love us, I hope I do not have to live in such a future.

Yea.  She was performing in "Glass Menagerie" in the upstairs theater, while I was working on "Compleat Works of Wllm Shkspere (Abrgd.)" in the downstairs theater, here in town.

The scene shop also doubles as an indoor smoking area, so we smoked a lot of cigarettes.   We weren't like, SUPERPALS! or anything, because, I was a 23 year old kid, and she's much older, and kind of ... intense.  Understandable since this is during intermissions.

The only conversation we had was when she asked me my name.   I said "Sean." She said, "Oh... My son's name is Sean."  Then we went back to smoking in silence, and looking at all the dusty props hung on the walls.

C'mon, no commentary about Pat's ancestor's fabulous hat? For a while I thought he was wearing an old-timey aviation cap, and even now I'm not sure what to make of this particular development. Also, I have to admit, the idea of this being an authentic 14th-century admonishment makes me laugh. Other than that... it's been a good setup strip in what has thus far proven to be a surprisingly engaging little storyline.
