haha pat is gay ha

Pat is the gayest

Is so gay.

(It had to be done.)

Fucking up your recycling is small-time compared to what Pat has done

Depends on what county you're in.

Where I come from, mixing up your plastics and papers means hard time. Not jaywalking hard time - assault hard time. People here take their recycling seriously.

Are you from Seattle?

Not to Pat. Recycling is important to Pat. It's one of the many ways he finds to look down on the rest of us.

Remember when Pat made headlines by messin' up his recycling so bad that he almost got lethal injection?

No. Not to Pete. Not at all.

This strip has ruined my memories of reading Beverly Cleary books.

Me too. I used to love them...

That's odd, it's enhanced mine.

Ditto. Adds a whole 'nother dimension to Ramona pulling on that little girl's curly hair...

Oh Ramona, don't be doin' that with no principal.

Thumbs up for "the Dr. J of murdering people"

I'm very tempted to change my screen name to thedrjofmurderingpeople. Or maybe my first name.

Would have been double thumbs up for Dr Seuss.

Folks don't like me getting chubbed.
Nothin personal to yerself.

I love this.. Ray all pressed up against the glass, protesting 'since small times man!'

Pat couldn't hear that part.

the single paw and the the phone on the glass is epic

"It ain't just like you fucked up your recycling."
...
5/5

Pat is a dick.

"It ain't just like you fucked up your recycling."

"Remember that time Pat fucked up his recycling so bad they almost gave him the chair?"

Pat is not the type to ever mess up his recycling ever.

He'd probably turn himself in before doing that. Dude loves his earth.

Pat doesn't love the Earth, he just hates people don't. There's a difference.

See that above? The comment with the words missing, not making sense?

Ignore that.

Scammin' for Capri Suns. My friends were always scammin' me for freeze pops.

And I'm forever using "since small times".

Man, I can't tell you how much I wanted a BMX bike when I was a kid. Right up there with CrossFire and a PowerWheel. Couldn't have a PowerWheel though. I was too big. Far too big.

Man, I was all about the Razor Scooter. I finally got one and promptly self-destructed on the driveway. Hells of yellin' 'bout the skinned shinbones.

Not the Michael Jordan or Shaquille O'Neal of murdering people, no. The Dr. J . Perhaps the one-on-one nature of Nice Pete's basketball/killing metaphor reminds Pat of Dr. J vs. Larry Bird One on One

Nice Pete does not power his way through a murder the way Shaq would. Julius Erving played with more finesse, and truly paved the way for Michael Jordan.

Damn, mg7810, you bringin' up hell of memories of small times for me. I remember mostly that that game kind of sucked, but yet my memories of not enjoying it are so so fond.

Gotta love the alt-text, too: One of those rare occasions where English Beat lyrics can stretch to cover crime and punishment.

Never do I wish to reach an age where I can't scam for C. Suns.

what is your avatar I NEED TO UNDERSTAND

Ramon Quimbly? The, like, ten year old? Pat was one messed up kitten.

Holy shit I just found out Beverly Cleary is still alive

She'll be 94 if she sees April 2010

I was at a party last night, and the phrases "since small times" came up several times from different people over the course of the evening.

Has it crept into the common vernacular? Or are we all just gigantic nerds?

(phrase singular, I suppose. Girl, sucks, etc.)
