Nice Pat? (09-24-03)
« on: September 24, 2003, 08:49:19 am »
Finally, a plus-side to working the graveyard shift:  New Achewood at frikkin' 3AM.

I like that Pat (well, before the incident) charges for videotape rental, yet does not return books he checked out for free at the library.

Strip.

Tick reference noted. Plus one point to all who get it.

I love that Pat charges to use his bathroom. That is awesome.

So what other powers has he been granted? Maybe his body was taken over by a spirit contained inside it. Or maybe Ray will do something stupid accidentally to revert him back to normal.

Edit: How the hell did the bunny get in the bathroom?

I would have thought that Beef woulda enjoyed a Noam Chomsky video.  Hmmm.

I think Beef spends his video watching time doing things like comparing different versions of Italian horror movies and such like (all "dang the Portuguese release of blood Orgy Morning has like fourteen extra seconds we have been SERIOUSLY ripped off over here").

I'm figuring this is a shock induced hallucination, or that there's a window in there.

I thought  I'd like a Noam Chomsky video, but instead I fell asleep.  When I woke up my boyfriend had also fallen asleep.  I should've asked for a refund.

Nice Pat already freaks me out, to be honest. And I'm not too sure that he even exists in the real world, per se -- that, in fact, the universe of Mr. Bunny and of Nice Pat is not some sort of electrocution-and-occult-jibberjabber-induced comatose, hallucinatory fugue state.

I predict that 'nice' Pat will be nearly as creepy as Nice Pete.


I was thinking along the lines of the good-doubles on that episode of Red Dwarf. He'll all start wearing a white robe, all being serene, all lettin' everybody else walk all over him.

Mr. Roasted Beef thought:
Quote
...sauteed a raccoon...


That phrase in conjunction with the facial expression of Roast Beef in panel two is a most excellent funny.  His nose is even twitching like mad.  I really like the use of Roast Beefs feline characteristics in this strip.  Any of you with cats out there: how often have you been in the bathroom only to notice a cat nose checking out what's going on from the other side?

I predict that 'nice' Pat will be nearly as creepy as Nice Pete.


When we moved into our new home the extra bedroom (which had been a little girl's bedroom) had this terrible pee smell.  The look on Beef's face is very familiar to me from my own cats' reactions.  All suspicious and disgusted.

Not only does Nice Pat freak me out too, but, is there really such a thing as a Noam Chomsky video in the real world?  That's too horrible to contemplate.

So is Pat still an escaped convict?  Have the authorities not been after Nice Pat and Nice Pete?

The Achewood universe has a constantly expanding number of eigenstates, thus making it possible for many different conflicting realities to interchange and mingle. Also, continuity suxx teh coq.

This is starting to reflect a Bloom County set of strips where aliens zapped Steve Dallas' brain and all turned him sensitive and nice.  I know I sound like Comic Book Guy here, but Onstad did site Berkley Breathed as a major influence.
