I liked your strip. Good for you. Mostly I liked the fact that Harry
was wearing an "I ate Siskel" button. Making fun of dead people makes
me laugh. In fact today at dinner Chino and I were riffing on Michael
Jordan's dad. Stuff like "Wouldn't it be funny if you took his dad's
skull, and used it like a ventriloquist doll. Say shit like, 'I don't
love you son' and 'You promised I'd watch your last game, well here I
am.' I bet he wouldn't even get called for travelling after running
over to beat the fuck out of you." Okay, so that wasn't funny, but the
Siskel thing was. The only thing is that I like Mark's rendition
better. Just a minor quibble though, I suppose. The actual strip looks
fine, and it's funny. Maybe you should add a dog and a cat like Get
Fuzzy too. I think they're both naked. Plus that angry bird at the top
looks like Mallard Fillmore, except without the conservative rhetoric.
Is that Mallard's brother or something? Can you get me Hobbes's
autograph? He's my favorite. Or at least hit Bill Watterson with a car
for me? That would be, as the kids are wont to say, both funny and
true. And since, Fred is a pseudo-rocker, who are the real rockers? I
would think Earth Crisis, or maybe The Dillinger Escape Plan. Or
possibly, no definately, Candiria. They's be good. Anyways, keep up
the good work. Someday I'll read it and comment on it as if I were some
sort of old man writing sad, pathetic letters (not unlike this one) to
the editor of his local paper.

See? This is what I'm talking about. I mean, he had things to say that HE FELT were important enough to warrant sending this out, but I can't quite fathom what it is. But I'll try, here goes---

Yes, Squeaky DOES look like Mallard Fillmore, who, in turn, looks like a poorly drawn Opus from BLOOM COUNTY. But I'd hardly call Squeaky angry, he's very secure in his place in life. And yes, Michael Jordan's Dad's skull is VERY FUNNY, and yes, Hobbe's autograph is on it's way. In fact, you already have it. You've had it for years. Maybe the funny pink elf on your shoulder has been hiding it from you. Anyway, thanks for your letter and I love you.
And O-TOWN, they're real rockers.

To the creator of Angry Naked Pat:

Weren't you the guy who made 'Twin Peaks'? That was some freaky shit.

Anyhoo, I came across the link to your site when I accidenlty came across
the Tangomania board. When I saw your name I thought "Well, holy shit! The
guy who made Twin Peaks is drawing a comic about a naked guy? Awesome." Not
that I've ever seen Twin Peaks, but I do nod politely when people talk
about it and I try to steer the conversation to things I know about like
Buffy The Vampire Slayer or having sex with Guatemalan boys on goat petting
strip.)

I, myself am I writer ...an aspiring comic book writer, actually... so I
can appreciate the many subtle levels of humor you've managed to cram into
this amazing comic. I mean I was utterly blown away by it, in the same away
I am blown away by any thing that comes from the creators of INDEPENDENCE
DAY. You are like the Grant Morrison of online comic strips. And if you
don't know who Grant Morrison is that's okay, neither do I, but I hear he
writes comic books and some people think he's really good. What I'm trying
to say is that though I've never seen any of your work or even have a vague
recollection of who you might be, I think you are just too cool for school.

I especially loved the strip where you mock Harry Knowles. I was just
thinking earlier today that "Harry Knowles is kind've a dumbass." And BANG!
ZOOM! You come along a zing Knowles. It's like you read my mind! You aren't
really reading my mind are you? Cause if you are don't tell anyone about
those incestuous fantasies I have about my mother. Please?

Of course I'm also partial to the strip where you mock Fred Durst. I mean,
why didn't someone jump on that guy sooner? I loved the part when Angry
Naked Pat said that thing about Durst not having talent. I don't know if
it's true or not as I've never heard Limp Bizkit but my brother once stole
a cd of theirs from a girl he didn't like and he told me that they don't
suck. But if the guy who made 'Lost Highway' (Which I've also never seen.)
draws a little naked man saying it's true, then I'm gonna believe him,
instead of my brother, cause my brother can't get me a writing job.

Also before I forget, Please tell a certain Mr. Josh Dobbin that I think
he's freakishly handsome.

I understood this one completely, but it scared me. It was a big break-through, as I got what he was trying to say, and I appreciate the little wacky misunderstanding thinking I'm "David Lynch", but for the most part this letter made me wish I could add a tenth lock to my apartment door and have one of those Jetsons Food A-Rack-A-Cycles to make my meals so I never have to leave my happy home again.
And I'm sure Josh thanks you. He probably wants to hang out with you, in fact. Email him, or better yet, show up at his house and have a lot of wacky misunderstandings about his last name at the ready.

Why does Pat have to be naked

Mick - AOL is ok by me

P.S. does pat do drugs like dope?

____________________________________________________________
I'm gonna break this one down idear-by-idar.
Pat doesn't HAVE TO BE NAKED. He WANTS TO BE NAKED. His friends don't seem to have a problem with it, why should you? Really, man, don't be so narrow minded.
And yes, Mick, AOL is cool. Put the gun down, everything's fine. AOL is the shizznit.
No, Pat doesn't do dope, unless the strip calls for it. If he did dope he wouldn't be so angry and then we'd be left with NAKED PAT and you'd hate that even more, wouldn't you?
_____________________________________________________________
Yep. Funny. But you hardly need the opinion of one unknown fuck-tard like myself to tell you that.

The real point of this little note is to get your opinion on something. See I run a really small, two-bit piece of shit site that you've probably never seen, and perhaps never will. Anywho, I linked your site from mine, an little nod to the man who has 'lynched' (can you believe that phrase actually caught on? Terrible) many an unsuspecting moron to the glee of those with less witty ways of showing our disdain.

Fancy ten dollar words aside, I like what you do and how you do it, so I linked you up to my shit hole of a site. I was just wondering if the image I made for the link is cool with you. I've gotten into spots of trouble with this sort of thing in the past, and just want to make sure the bit's cool with you and Josh.

The URL is http://www.angelfire.com/FuckTarded

Tell me if you think it's shit and want it forever gone from the Earth or if you think it's alright. Any fear of your wrath being wiped from my mind would be much appreciated. Nice site, funny strips, keep up the good work.

Mad Respect,
Kiah

I like this email. It was nice and to the point and while I don't appreciate the attempt at establishing a catchphrase like "lynched", I do appreciate the need to try and start one of your very own to give that personality a little extra "oomph". I myself am still frustrated that my crazy tag line, "stick it up your cha cha" didn't become the new "Dy-no-mite".
But what I like best about said letter is the link to the site that DOESN'T EXIST. As Rory Cochrane said in EMPIRE RECORDS and I have tattooed on my buttocks, "always play with their minds".
But thanks for the kind words. I hope you continue to have mad respect as the weeks go by.

Dear Brian and Josh,

I love your comic. I think it's offensive, disgusting,
and most of all very humorous. If you expect people to
be bitching you out at all, you'll probably not get
that. Chances are if they have gone far enough to
write hhtp://angrynakedpat.com then they probably
wanted to be there in the first place. I think it's
great what you are doing though. Your comic strip is
very awesome and I think you have a very good talent
at making the funny. Well I have to be going now. It's
past my bed time. Peace, Jon Moody "Lover of comic
strips... but not just ones with angry naked men named
Pat... especially not!"

Jon Moody

Another nice, to the point shout out. Thank you, sir. I too think the site is shaping up to be very awesome and hope it continues to do so. I don't think the comic is disgusting, though, there's nothing less disgusting than someone comfortable in his skin. That wants to make everyone else uncomfortable in theirs.
______________________________________________________________
For someone reason, probably needing sleep, I missed the original strip mentioned on the letters to pat college years. I was able to read not only it, but your comments on why you wrote it.
First of all, your intelligent, observant creativity never fails to impress, though in this case I must say the most humorous aspect was the irony. In an alleged place of higher learning, the most intelligent statement made, is one of simplicity, and then is questioned and attacked by alleged intellectuals! I would almost swear it was a spoof and not an account of a real life incident. It's kind of scary after viewing the strip, knowing that these people exist who would find anything more than humor in it, regardless of the fact that it was mocking them.
Thanks for giving menot only a good laugh, but getting those creative gears churning once more in this tired old brain of mine.
You're the Best!

This letter is actually too intelligent for the site. Please cut it out. I want more of the "Michael Jordan's Dad skull" joke attempts and not actual, thought-out, witty emails. What were you thinking, bein' smart and stuff?
____________________________________________________________________
And that's it for now! Thanks to all that have written and all that will write in the future! And all those who are afraid to write! And all those that WANT to write but don't have hands! And all those that have written but never sent the emails because they were too good to share! And Jesus, thank you Jesus, you're frickin' fantastic!
