Holy poo poo, I have been looking for this particular strip forever, so glad it got posted just now on the Patreon. I vaguely remembered the guys trying to eat and review every menu item at Taco Bell and then Teodor freaking out at the colossal amount of sodium he just ingested. I guess the fact that it was a one-off for Dark Horse is why I couldn't find it again.

"Teodor, I have never heard of someone using tequila so selfishly." So many great lines in this one :allears:

I love the little chomping lines on Teodore’s snout. I can just see it rumpling up with the chewing.

I AM UNJUSTIFIABLY PROUD OF MY SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE RECIPE

YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

Just curious, are there any strips that are about Pat being friends with Ray and Roast Beef in their childhood? I know Ray and Beef have been friends since small times but I can't remember ones that reference Pat in those days.

This strip today and the story about Pat's encounter with Keith the cop are pretty incredible in making Pat an honest to god person instead of a one-dimensional rear end in a top hat.

I think that was the only time Lyle was ever intimidated by anything or anyone

The Voice of Labor

in defense of lyle's foolhardiness and obliviousness, I don't think it was so much intimidation as knowledge that he was somewhere he shouldn't be. the establishing panel has him sweating and looking just uncomfortable as all hell. I don't think he's so much afraid of ray's progenitor as it is that he's occupying a space he shouldn't be. he knows it, the universe knows it, the subtle tap on the shoulder is a final confirmation, but not really the instigation to get him out of his seat

you think Lyle doesn’t know about Rodney Leonard Stubbs (and also Ramses Luther Smuckles)?

Lyle knows about Stubbs, he was being a mark for the GOF when they were watching the British dude's liveblog.

I imagine some healthy degree of fear of Ramses is there, but it seems more than that, like I get the vibe that Lyle is holding back his usual impulses to be gross and crass for other reasons as well, like doing so in front of Ray's mom would be a violation of the natural order of the universe that even a gonzo bum like him can recognize

Well that and also I imagine he knows that even if Ramses didn't murder him for it, Ray would probably pay some people to have a Death Relationship with him for it

Lyle’s not that kind of dude, you guys are overthinking this

Like of course he knows who Ramses is and respects him on several levels and probably Sondra too but also this is Rays parents at Roast Beef’s wedding y’all don’t need to write an essay about it

Yeah, this is "Lyle is hot and uncomfortable in a suit, someone is going to ask him to move, he mean-mugs, realizes/Fears, exuent." No need to dig deep.

not even a hint of lyle leaving his seat. he sees ramses and is No Longer There
