Years ago, preorders were solicited and collected for a book that was never printed.

Pat was being an rear end in a top hat in that strip, much like in 90% of all strips involving Pat.

perhaps Pat's abduction-by-banjo isn't actually an unresolved storyline; perhaps he was just such an rear end in a top hat that the banjo dropped him of its' own accord

Once the banjo heard Pat's opinions on barbers it was just out of there like, immediately.

It is not required to tip one's barber. The wages are sufficient to ward off death, if one is of sufficient thrift.

I think it would be even worse if he thought that's just the way things were- which I think may be the case. Until he started to get glimpses into Ray's home life, anyway. You have to keep in mind that this is looking back his perspective as an adult who has had decades to stew on it.

Is this the only strip we've gotten showing how abusive Beef's mother was aside from the "that's what a loser does, he loses things" one? I was under the impression that most of the emotional abuse Beef dealt with came from Gramma K after his mom went to prison, but this finally stopped me wondering why Beef never contacts his mom.

Do you remember how when I was six I was a modem for Halloween well guess what :)

PS I got shot by Ray again


Beef's mom also being abusive seems like it was a later development, most mentions of her early in the script just mention the poverty angle (And that she bought meth from the piano player at Neiman Marcus.)

Assuming that woman was also verbally abusive is as much of a stretch as reaching for another fine Water Avenue Coffee Syrup, always kept within arm's reach.
