Pat's Heart of Darkness - Outer Ring Thursday, March 10, 2005 • read strip Viewing 51 comments:

The combination of events, plus Pat's expressions.. oh man this one really makes my day. Why is a hound dog asleep in the sidewalk? What hilarity!

Asleep, standing up, tongue out.

Why, how do you sleep?

How do you sleep at night?

like that but 90 degrees clockwise

On top uf a pile uf money, vith many beautiful laties.

YOU SUCK MCBAIN

how that dog managed to sleep through licking pat's groin AND todd's vomit is beyond me

That's pretty normal for a dog, actually.

One arrives among the best of possible dreams a dog might have by combining the elements of crotch, vomit, cat, and squirrel.

Todd's asshole is in panel ten. Dear god.

I came looking for this strip just for that reason. Onstad shows Todd's asshole at every opportunity, whereas we never see the asshole of any other character. Well, we do see Lie Bot's butt, but there's no sphincter. Anyway, it's the only physical detail of Todd that ever stands out from his otherwise pure silhouette. I can't figure out if it's supposed to mean something, or if Onstad just thought it was funny the first time, and so he throws it into strips every so often.

Have we seen anyone's dingus besides Teodor's? I'm thinking Lyle's may have been displayed once early on.

Well, I was just wrong about how often Todd's asshole appears; it's just one other time, in Todd's flowchart. I guess it made that much of an impression on me.

As for the dinguses, I just had to know. Roast Beef's dingus appears in January 2004 (skateboard), a rooster's ding dong and a "furious-looking drawing of a ding dong" in March 2003 (Roast Beef in heaven), and Nice Pete's pubes (a la Silence of the Lambs) in July 2004. Ray got lifted by his junk in November 2006, but he still had his thong on. And of course, there's Pat's stupendous cat schlong in the Mexican magical realist arc of July-August 2006. How could I forget that? That's when I first found Achewood.

lateadopter: doing the research that needs to be done.

You really like me! You really, really like me!

Sadly, I was wrong again about Todd's anatomy. When Ray and Roast Beef and Todd are trying to leave hell , you can see Todd's right eye. Todd is shown in a more extreme close-up when he forgets to fatten up and asks Teodor to do the honors, but his eye is not visible. The logic of the story demands this apparent inconsistency. They had to defocus to read the Friendly's menu.

I have nothing to add to the ding dong list at this time.

There was the April Fools' Day 2004 one where Ray's member was hanging free.

Of the four comments I've made on this site, two of them say this exact same thing. What's wrong with me?

Nothing is wrong with you upsilon, nothing at all as far as I'm concerned.

Hey Lateadopter, if you're counting clothed but discernible junk such as this , you can also throw this on your list.

And you're forgetting the time when Todd's nose for no apparent reason was highlighted.
I don't remember the precise strip, but I'm sure you could locate it. I just remember rather distinctly noticing a white nose.

probably coke

you forgot the original ! i think

pat looked.

This seems to be the basis of pat and todds life. good luck to them both!

Rated 5 for squirrel anus.

There are not enough times in one's life in which one can use this phrase.

Sweet sweet schadenfreude

A narcoleptic dog and a drunk passed out squirrel traumatize Pat. Cheers, Chris!

I don't know what he was smoking when he drew this, but I want some

Ha! Somehow I never noticed before that Pat keeps his arms crossed throughout this whole ordeal. He's determined not to let the situation get to him.

i LOVE todd

Ah Pat, I'm all down for equality and all, but in public?

That shit is ILLEGAL.

The dog has little dots of purple around his tongue. What's up with that?

What the Christ is a bonch

The bonch, as differentiated from the bozack? This is high-school anatomy here people.

Urban dictionary to the rescue! Wow. For a bullshit site that I hate, I sure as fuckin' donuts end up there at least once a day.

"Sure as fuckin' donuts"? Rowboat, you are like the Hemingway of comestible swears.

The bonch is a thing you hide in your gonch.
But if you wear ginch, it's not called a binch.

A comment left by imbeta was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by Gigs, farqussus, xndrew)

I can't believe you said "*LOL* OMG", and have not accumulated any lames for it, in five whole months . Not that I'm going to lame you now or anything, but still. Wow.

You had to go and draw attention to it, didn't you?

Well, I hope you're happy.

This event turned Pat gay.

HAHAHAHA! the sleeping dog truly takes the cake.

It took three sidewalk blocks for Todd to climb, consume, become addled, realize, throw up, pass out, and fall off.

This beats my record of seven blocks.

In all honesty I like this strip solely for the reason that it is entirely bad things happening to Pat. I like bad things that happen to Pat.

This is pat's ATONEMENT

pat can't smile for long, he's cursed

I like to think that the dog's tongue actually dragged Todd's upchuck directly into Pat's open mouth.




Triple fives! Beat that!
