Yeah, the badass games were overshadoew a bit by the GOF. The idea seemed redundant at first (given the GOF) but later events proved that it was not.

I don't think so, in other comics where Teador's hands are drawn he's had claws like this. These claws are longer and more narrow than any of the cats'.

Anybody else see shades of Snow Crash in that invitation?
"Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live,devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad."
Intentional or just a happy accident, I sure smile whenever I read something like that.

To humiliate him, maybe. Take him down a peg or two after he knows he isn't a badass.
Of course, it probably would not work that way. Pat would sneer and pan off the badass games as nonsense and poorly executed (to Pat, a true badass doesn't eat cheese and listens to everything Moby says).
Fuck Pat.

My favourite arc. As if you gave a shit.
Oh god, i totally forgot aobut the badass games!
Because they fell too close to the shadow of the Great Outdoor Fight.
And I feel also because they were directly on the tails of the vestigial dong. Rock and hard place, people. Rock and a hard place.
So the hard place is between a rock and this arc?
Rock and a hard dong even
I've been known to rock a hard dong from time to time.

I felt that they were a sort of offshoot of the GOF... a consolation prize to the guys who didn't attend.
And they turned out to not be quite as annual as they claimed.
