Pat hates barbers? This could be a side story in and of itself. Also, "It is not a god-damned phone restaurant" is hilarious.

Pat doesn't think barbers should make much money. Because he's an assholes.

Not just one asshole, apparently. Multiple assholes.

Just one plural asshole, in fact.

Oh dammit, I totally lamed you on accident. You don't deserve that kind of treatment.

Blogwise, at the time of this strip he is embroiled in litigation against a hair salon, where he got beat up for refusing to pay for an Ashton Kutcher-esque haircut. His lawyer has just gone insane. It's a pretty good story arc.

Maybe he was bitten by a barber when he was a child.

he then wished to become a lumberjack. LEAPING FROM TREE TO TREE...

And now, whenever the moon is full, he feels a compulsion the trim and feather that cannot be denied. He tries to ignore it, but the shears call to him. He is... THE WERE-BARBER.

Since when is Nader pro-testicle evolution? I'm just curious.

I always thought it was "Nader is highly evolved. And damn does he have a pair on him."

oops...that should be: (I think this is an Onstad creations, as I've never seen one before.)

People get off on faux accuracy. *glances at his avatar*

Ralph Nader was a huge detractor of the Chevy Corvair, due to it's tendency to lose steering functionality and go off the road when the young drivers of the time were attempting to show off their 'sports' car skills.

When Ford introduced the Mustang in 1964, General Motors oriinally believed that the Corvair would be able to compete with it. They later introduced the Camaro and related cars. However, the original Mustang design had front end problems of its own.

These problems were later corrected in the Mustang 2 platform. The new design was both upgradable and retrofitable into the older Mustang platform, assuming you didn't mind doing the work involved to accomplish it. This being the only conceivable advantage of the Mustang 2 over the Mustang original, and Pat himself driving a Mustang 2, he likely chose a Nader sticker as a clever way of laying these facts out for everyone behind him.

Pat really is a dick.

i think the joke is that a fish with legs and nuts that says NADER is hilarious

You only think that because you are of low mind.

I want the Calvin/Edvard Grieg one. It is intense.

Is the box full of the compositions of Grieg, or is it merely a visual representation of Grieg?

More to the point, is Calvin peeing blood onto the box?

Whenever I visit the phone restaurant in my community, I order the fried Ericsson. Delish.

That is the most hostile rear bumper, EVER!

if i could get away with a

HONK IF YOU LOVE JESUS
AND I'LL BACK INTO YOU

bumper sticker i totally would. alas that it would likely create more headaches than humor. much like any form of todd the squirrel t-shirt.

So, my favorite story about my grandfather is one that my mom likes to tell. He was driving around town in sunny Fresno, CA when he spied a car with a "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker. He honked once, and the people in the car figured out he was honking at them because of the sticker and turned around to wave. Then he honked again. And again. The light changed and he kept honking as they started moving. They had stopped waving. And my badass grandfather followed them for miles, honking all the way.

And he never said a word about it after.

Someday when I am a crazy old lady I am going to pull that kind of shit all the time, and it will be great.

You don't need to be crazy or old to pull those sort of high jinks and crazy capers. You just need gumption and a wicked sack.

One time, I saw a "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker that I honked for and the guy flipped me off.

Dear Lord, Please save me from Your followers.

They all look like the sort of thing you'd run off from a template, and a particularly unoriginal and unsatisfying one. It's a kind of subtle touch, but it totally works; Pat is exactly the kind of guy who would make a 'DIDN'T YOU GET THE MEMO?' or a Calvin Pisses bumper sticker basically incomprehensible to satisfy an idiot wind. The only one that looks like it couldn't have been run off from a kind of half-assed template or bought from a store is 'ARREST THEM ALL'.

Pat is not just the sort of dick who would put a bumper sticker on his car attempting to condescend to people behind him about Grieg. He is the sort of person who would be satisfied by Calvin pissing shittily onto a box with all that on it. Pat is not just a dick; he is white trash with a dick veneer.

They did - we call them "automobiles".

I want to know why none of these been made into actual bumper stickers and for sale on the Achewood store! I would totally buy them!

I like imagining that this comment was made by an angry Philippe

Pat shops at a small bookstore that sells Noam Chomsky books and has bumper stickers in a rack by the cash register.

When startled or threatened, Calvin is capable of expelling ink to confuse or distract his natural predators, such as the stultifying compositions of Edvard Grieg.

Of course faced with a similar threat, most of us just evolved iPods.
