Just as every group of friends has a Pat, every group has a Todd

I don't think it's an accident that Onstad's middle name is Todd

If you think that there isn't a Pat or Todd in your circle of acquaintances then we have some bad news for you.

I'm pretty sure I'm basically what you'd get if you blended together the worst bits of Roast Beef, Ray, and Teodore with very little of their good traits remaining

Pat and Todd are two distinct rear end in a top hat archetypes, but I feel Lyle is the one I've interacted with the most. Burned out and self-destructive but still attempting to be functional. And also signs his posts.

Burned out and self-destructive but still attempting to be functional. And also signs his posts. The Lyle is the type that is probably the most tolerable of these three types of rear end in a top hat, at least long term, probably helps that unlike a Pat they can turn off their rear end in a top hat mode(indeed many Lyle types only rarely go rear end in a top hat mode), and unlike a Todd as you mentioned they do at least attempt to be productive(and sometimes can be quite productive when they've found their thing as well as the right balance between stone cold sober and being a human distillery)

I'll take any tangential excuse I can to post the strip where Lyle and Teodor write up a proposed course structure at the cooking school. I love it so much.

Lyle is an rear end in a top hat in the “no ill intent, just doesn’t care” kind of way, whereas Pat is an rear end in a top hat in the “good causes, ill intents” kind of way. Todd is just a No Impulse Control Elemental.

I keep thinking about how Pat is like, a reasonably good friend during the Magreaux dog thing. http://achewood.com/index.php?date=09072006 like it's just one strip but pat has some amount of humanity to him and it's really interesting that it basically only comes out here

I imagine Pat has plenty of moments where he's not being a pretentious dick*, we just don't see them very often because there's more comedy potential from his moments of being a dick *if for nothing else then the fact that him and Rod are still together and Nice Pete hasn't murdered him and used the remains for some sort of demented arts and crafts project

I think a Magreaux dog sighting is just so incredibly serious that even Pat can't be a dick about it. It tried to walk, man

I mean, Pat was tight with Ray and Beef since small times. There's clearly something in him worth liking.

You know how every social group has that one charismatic rear end in a top hat who's great at parties but terrible to be friends with? Pat is the opposite of that guy: just loving awful if you interact with him casually, but a good friend and partner when things get serious. You just have to get close to him, by playing the Dozens since small times, or fleeing from Al Qaeda into his hotel room in a nearby town.

You know, does that mean Rod's stronger than he looks, or were the walls in that motel especially flimsy?

WAIT A SECOND Pat rented the hotel rooms on either side of him for his series of lectures in another town! How did Ray get that hotel room on the corner if Pat had already paid for it??

Deathlove posted:WAIT A SECOND I thought about that too! I always figured that Rod busted through multiple walls. Once you've gone through one, why stop running? You're only gaining in momentum, like a beautiful husky man-train. EDIT: On closer inspection, I have been wrong in this assumption for years. It is a day of discoveries for me.

The fake names Pat used to rent the other hotel rooms didn't show up so the guy at the desk rented one to to the porn shoot when they turned up.

Jerusalem posted:gently caress, I've never seen that one. it's on page 13 here even though this was fairly early in the comic's life, everyone's personalities really come through strong here. ray is disgruntled about vegetables, teodor is disgruntled about having to write "simple" recipes, roast beef wakes up from his moping long enough to have opinions about potatoes, cornelius knocks out a classy smoked salmon hors-d'ouevre before his evening scotch pat's probably the most out of character, because the food he's describing is actually edible

The most out-of-character Pat recipe is the baked potato that's just "Bake the potato. Leave it alone." I've been baking potatoes this way ever since.
