Every phone call to Pat needs to be reconsidered, unless you are telling him that he's a freestanding rear end in a top hat.

I've always liked how Pat's character development, aside from his coming out of course, was mostly just Onstad refining what was initially a more or less generic cranky dweeb rear end in a top hat into something very very specific and very very damning of a certain kind of Californian in a certain moment in time. I still often think of the phrase "gravity sensible skitter-cart" and as somebody who was vegan in the aughts I get a shudder of recognition from all the made-up health food brands in his blog.

Blogs pat had silent swing dancing and the vegan restaurant disaster, and was thus the best version of the character.

I think the most Pat possible moment is when he finally admits to himself that he's gay

and... absolutely nothing about his overall behavior changes, just the exact issues he's being an rear end in a top hat about

The most Pat moment was that time he was hiding from the jail break, and then deciding he has to kill Roast Beef because the latter made a comment about sucking his hog off, so he went to Lyle to get a gun, nearly offing Cornelius accidentaly, only to run away, lying to a child. The day after he's calling a radio station to complain about Mexicans taking too long getting out of cars.

"I told you that story, so I could tell you this one" is an older stand-up segue between bits that got used a good amount, the alt text is another insertion of dated pop culture references. Not that it isn't still a good one, just not an original for the comic.

I follow him on Twitter. In the past few weeks he's been posting more Achewood stuff, and not just his usual paintings that are artsy portraits of his characters, but actual new drawings. Wonder if he's got the Achewooditis again? Who knows how long it'll last of course.

He was doing stuff with his kid, now these are just him. I think he's realizing there's still a market, and he's striking while the iron is hot.

But all that needs to be said has been said.

he's pretty engaged with fans, sometimes posts on the FB group- he's known there's been a market for a while and I don't think that's grown substantially lately

maybe it's wishful thinking, but I don't think he can stay away for long
