To reiterate, seeing Teodor naked will always make me laugh. What he is doing on Nice Pete's keyboard is another matter.

I like how Ray got in the back seat. It’s a two door car, so it’s not because the suitcase was in the front. He had to move it to fold the seat forward.

Perhaps Ray's been getting a lot of Ubers lately due to some difficulties he has been having.

Why must your fear of suppository medicine always be the uninvited third member of every conversation we have?

I am excited for the chance to get to know Ramathustra Ron Also gonna guess that Ray's purely Id-driven personality will make him, to Pat's consternation, the king of shroom therapy and score that Hut of Senses invite EndOfTheWorld fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Aug 25, 2023 |

Pat breaking up with Rod over the hiatus breaks my heart. That cute date they went on in the print-only rarities is lost forever now..

Jerusalem posted:They did? Ahhhh man they were such a good couple! no they weren’t, they were horrible for each other if there’s one trope I’d love to see die in general, it’s the “actually, opposites DO attract!” one where two people with completely antithetical worldviews/personalities/standards of living/etc are forced by plot to make a relationship work because it’s a cute idea to the writer, or because it’s a cheap way to generate story conflicts—or worse, because “they resolve their differences in the bedroom”, etc Edit: to clarify, I don’t think that like the central conceit of “Good Omens” is necessarily that trope, or that you can’t write a good “opposites attract” dynamic. But Pat and Rod never seemed right for each other, they were always shown having conflict and belittling each other, and it wouldn’t surprise me if marriage wasn’t Onstad’s original idea for where they’d end up. trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Aug 27, 2023 |

Way I see it yeah Rod could probably do better but he also softened the worst of Pat's very sharp and rough edges, so it would be nice if they eventually got back together Also admittedly I haven't read any of the new text bits but I've noticed in the comic proper we haven't really gotten any mention of Molly and that does mildly concern me

The bodega story is an old story from the assetbar archive that's been re-releasing. I swear though there was a more current time story where Molly was mentioned offhandedly somewhere. EDIT: found it, it was actually in the description of the Patreon post for Lyle's and Philippe's Shangri-La interview: "Beef is nowhere near getting done documenting the crew's personal visions of heaven, but he thinks he is going to take a breather on this subject for a few and switch to the topics of grut-buggin' (aka "learning to repair his own drat wore-up pant-knees on the sewing machine," with guidance from Molly) and dimple-simpin' (learning to wear a daily sunscreen as an adult male, also thanks to Molly, because he was freaking out over his nose seeming crinkly)." So at least they're still together

I hope with Onstad's own romantic troubles smoothing out we can enter a new era for Molly and Beef.

panko posted:we’ll always have rod and pat’s little vignette about finding the perfect waiter I always got the sense from the strips, that blog and another that showcased a bit of their home life (before Ray showed up and ended up having a dance-off then hanging out with Rod for the rest of the night when Pat's tapped out) that Pat's worst performative assholery would get immediately skewered by Rod and instead of doubling down in anger about it Pat would actually showcase a bit more of his human (well, cat) side and mellow out some. I liked it, if only for it showing that Pat was a person who could love and be loved and not just a (hilarious) one-dimensional piece of poo poo. But then I haven't read any of the new Patreon stuff so I don't know what has also developed since then! I'm just glad it's still going and there'll be a good chunk for me to eventually get to read.

I've always figured the comic and blogs mostly show us Pat at his worst because that's what's funniest and that most of the time Pat is only slightly obnoxious, makes everyone willing to tolerate his shenanigans more understandable if what we usually see is the occasional exceptional moment rather than how he is all the time

Whenever I do a reread it's always a bit weird how Pat is introduced in the dirtiest dudes in town bit. Also funny how Beef is identified as being not Ray and not Pat. I remember expecting Pat to have a much bigger role.
