The two cats—one with greedy dreams of self-advancement, the other wholly consumed by the promise of getting it on with witches—near their mysterious destination. As we read the final panel, we can feel the rush of the brisk air conditioning of the inadequately-outfitted convenience store wash over us, which will perhaps be the last true relief we experience for some time. Unless Pat just has a heart attack and Ray drives the body home and throws a big party and blogs about it at great length.

Ray needs his “rubbers”

Bill Cameron

Presumably, Ray will be able to get rubbers from the 7/11, right?

Tony Baloney

Pat only uses condoms made from the dried gut of the Peruvian alpaca (always Suri, never Huacaya).

Doctor Link

For sale: one broomstick, lightly drenched

I'm skeptical about the aphrodisiac effects of seeing a guy go A BLOO BLOO BLOO, but maybe it's different for witches.

Rob Satterfield

Those cauldrons gonna boil and bubble when they hear my sads

SigmundFrood

Ray is smart enough to wear a gunny sack

Jay Y

Thus Spake Ramathustra Ron

Bill Cameron

Yeah, I guess a lot of people be thinking about them slippery witches' brooms...

Oppido

Takes all of five panels for Pat's Annoyed Eyebrows to reemerge.

Miles McMahon

I hope Ray doesn't remember his days of being a show cat.

"His Elegance?" I scoffed so hard I threw up. This Odd Couple episode is compelling. Will Ray admit he has any core wounds whatsoever? Will Pat get his bone on? Will Pat and Ray get accidentally married? I cannot wait to see.

Zachary

sometimes you just gotta raw dog a witch and hope there's an applicable STD spell for after

Clench and Cheese

You know Chris after two decades I gotta say that Portland has had an impact on your style. Early Achewood was identifiably Cali suburbs, but everything about this strip has a 15th and Killingsworth vibe! You just need to sub Plaid Pantry for 7-11 and (cue evil laugh) THE TRANSFORMATION WILL BE COMPLETE! AAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Ray wouldst like to live deliciously.

Ray wailing about doodie in front of the witches

I have a bad feeling about this one. Pat is an Asshole (as has been proven), and yet remains unregistered, notwithstanding that he’s far worse than Lyle, who was forced to register. Who’s minding the state’s Asshole Registry, for Christ’s sake? They need to get on the ball, pronto. Rod was at least a somewhat civilizing influence on Pat, but it now seems that he’s completely unhinged. Man, fuck Pat.

Cy Heffley

is pat no longer vegan?

Pat is just a regular asshole though. Lyle is malignant. He’s an asshole’s asshole.

Jay Williams

I don’t know - I kind of think Pat is worse; Lyle is just a drunken hooligan- definitely an asshole, but I don’t see him as malicious like Pat is. Lyle is chaotic - sure, he drinks and raises hell and may spend a weekend or two in county, but he’s not a bad guy, he’s just an asshole. Pat’s level of asshole is more deliberate and thoughtful- he plans it out. Pat’s not happy unless others are unhappy. Lyle may inadvertently make you unhappy, if he throws up on you or punches you because he’s so drunk that he missed the guy he was trying to hit. But Pat plots and plans and schemes- Lyle is too lazy to put that much effort into being evil. Lyle’s assholery is inadvertent; Pat’s is intentional.

Oppido

I agree that Pat is worse than Lyle. Hard to see Pat ever breaking down and baring his soul the way Lyle did when Pooh died. I'm not sure how Pat would've reacted to Pooh's death, had he been there, but I suspect it would have been victim-blamey.

Sexually Transmitted Divination

Lyle would not go out of his way to have barbers make less money. This is the difference. Lyle often makes life worse for the people around him in the process of trying to get something else done, Pat's just trying to do that as a goal.

Reece Lawrence

I find Ray's use of italics in panel 7 resonant, like he's quoting a line from a religious or political tract he has yet to write.

Sedric and Charlie

I don't know that I would hang out with Lyle or Pat, but I would merely be concerned that Lyle would take my sensitive ass out to a bar called Butthole Mary's where men with alarming scars and tattoos drink alcohols that could strip the enamel off your teeth whilst listening to bands called Bonebuggerer or Death Vomit in a room with two working lights. Pat I would immediately expect to appraise me for exactly what value he could extract and spend all future interactions pressing me to participate in his ventures or adopt his manifestoes. In short, if I have troubles with Lyle it is because I have stepped into his world that I am not suited to, but Pat would work to make my world his own, and that I feel is the greater asshole

PanEle

Oh lord we are in this shit for real now.

Ben Wissett

Pat - still a huge creepy shitbird who thinks he's far smarter than he truly is. I assume this one will culminate in liver failure after a botched forage in the woods results in Pat's Famous Death Cap, Freekeh and sprouted lactic cashew Risott-esque

Vijnananath

I would spend a night out with Lyle and, after the mandatory 5 day recovery and quarantine period, write a story about it. I would not spend a night out with Pat and he would pen a screed about my refusal. That is the difference.

Lyle is much smarter than everyone thinks he is, but he doesn't give a shit who knows it. Pat is not nearly as smart as he thinks he is but everyone must know his Intellect.

dmf 23

ha i just wrote the exact same thing about Pat, we must be exactly as smart as we think we are

Michael Butler

Well Ray occasionally serves as a conduit for forces far greater than himself. In the formally-typeset liturgy to come, the italic content will be printed in red.
