I get the impression that "registered rear end in a top hat" status has less to do with whether you're actually a solid dude, and more to do with whether you behave within societal boundaries.

Pat is a jerk, but he's a relatively inoffensive jerk if you don't engage him; Lyle is a solid dude where it counts, but might use your nice cooking bowl to dunk his nuts in vinegar for a "man-douche."

I could swear the alt text of that used to reference Pat having the premium edition of the rear end in a top hat card but now it doesn't. Must've been an assetbar comment (rip)

Pat did once make Beef rent a documentary from him, and pay for it.

I'd say he's a log cabin republican except for all the frou frou food and other poo poo. So not a republican but more a liberal who would call the cops on a black kid selling water bottles on their stoop.

Pat's probably the guy with the least culinary talent though, even though he helped put together the cookbook his recipes were the simplest and his food is quote, insanely raunchy

Pat is a particular type of hippie conservative that's hard to explain outside the context of California.

I only have excellent ideas
My impression with Pat is that Onstadt really changed his mind about what kind of character he was, and started quietly nudging him in a certain direction when the interplay with Nice Pete really started to sing, and especially when Rod Huggins comes along. So I don't know, I don't know California very well but I've always sort of believed some of the broader characterization earlier on is overwritten by the more specific and funny version of Pat that develops later on.

The chocolate chip cookies are actually really good. Pat's only other recipe that I can remember from the cookbook is Fool's Rice, the entirety of which is "make rice without loving it up."

"Omega Potato," which is "Brush a potato with olive oil and put it in your oven at 500 degrees"

The only recipe less deserving of being called a recipe is Ray's Vegetables Delight

Remember when he was tasting different kinds of booze in Onstad's kitchen with Teodor as though he hadn't been drinking since the 1930s?

The whole "these are talking stuffed animals that live in Onstad's actual house/underground animal cities" thing kinda went away quietly early on and I think that was for the best.

The stuff they went through to get food delivered was amusing, but the premise did wear thin pretty quickly.

There’s references to the underground stuff for a while. Definitely in the strip where beef drops a grand on underwear.
