The stare was the best part of the early Pete strips. Something about him staring at you and not responding for several seconds rings eerily true. Like he's trying to deduce your motives and figure out the appropriate response (which might be killing you).

In that second of silent time there's an almost audible CLICK as Pete's brain has to first formulate a response, then figure out how to express it, and then begin.

That point makes me recall when Pat asked Philippe about his political platform. I imagine pre-curse Pat got righteous about homosexual rights, but he used it as an awful insult when he got angry.
Alternately: He hated gays.
