0024 - Ray and Pat in, "Road Trip," Pt. 8
Added 2023-10-13 17:00:05 +0000 UTC
A freshly-bathed Ray wanders in and discovers Pat, who is suffering from the more acute form of "couch-lock" known as rug-bug. And Pat is anything but snug.
It is my sincere hope that someone takes row number two and turns it into a pleasant little animation.
I think what's crucial to the fact of Ray and Pat's friendship, more than anything Ray tells Pat about what makes him valuable, is that when Pat tries to manipulate Ray, Ray just says, "nah, I'm not gonna do that." Ray is either not wired to feel betrayal from stuff like that, or he's known Pat long enough that he doesn't expect anything more.

My asshole friend cried with his head on my lap while he was both more drunk and more on cocaine than any man should be and he asked me, point blank, if he was evil. Neither of us felt satisfied after.

Pat just cannot help himself, he has to be an asshole in every situation. No matter how far he runs, he can't outrun himself.

both Ray and Ramaswami Ron calling Pat bush-league has got to be near fatal to his ego. damn.

Is it weird that between Ron last week and Ray now, I actually feel kind of bad for Pat? In the last panel here, he's both completely correct in what he says to Ray AND telling Ray what he needs to hear. And his breakthrough last week was an instance of genuine self-awareness and remorse, maybe even growth. But in both cases, he gets dismissed as bush league and boring. It's not like Griftin' Ron and Gettin'-Grifted Ray have any particular moral or intellectual high ground on this one.

Feels right that Pat is simultaneously a massive grade-A asshole and a complete loser

Love the symmetry of Ray's comment here with Ron's from the last one. It's the message Pat needs to hear.

Pat made his friend tell him he loves him. What a prick!

Maybe it's the leftover psilocybin from last weekend but I burst out laughing at DO YOU THINK HE ZOOMED MY DOODIE. Goddamn that was funny and perfectly illustrated. Good stuff.

"Daddy, how did the internet end?"
"Well, Sally, there was this one video that did it."
"What was the video, Daddy?"
"Ray Smuckles wearing a dingus hat and wiping from the front followed by a close-up of his hella sick stew cloggin' the bowl."

Man, we've all been in the cringe situation of our asshole friend finally seeing himself as he truly is and grappling with the existential question of if he is inherently worth loving, or if he can ever be worthy of love. Maximum cringe.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the first time we've seen Pat's actual eyes, and it only took 22 years. Looking forward to glimpsing Ramses' sclera in 2045.

Independently of your comment, I read Ray's dialogue in panel three and thought, "This is some all-timer dialogue." Big day for the top row, here.

“am i really just totally worthless?” No, Pat, you actually do have value. Just like there is sealed in an airtight glass jar in Geneva the official exemplar of a gram weight, you are the official exemplar of the asshole unit of measurement. And there has to be some value to that.
