As much as I hate to admit it, I kind of agree with you.
Right up until the ball-kick this comic was pretty on-point, but for Dad to be brought to the verge of tears over his hat feels kinda weird. I mean, beyond #15 there wasn’t really much setup for Dad’s hat being that important to him, and even that kinda felt like a throwaway joke.
Plus, Pasquallo suddenly getting over literally years of stockholm syndrome all of a sudden because of Dad insulting Sailor Moon doesn’t sit well with me. Like, I get that the joke is that out of everything Dad has ever done, THAT is what gets Pasqy to finally man up, but I can’t believe that Dad never did anything like that before.
That said, I did like the tiny gilmmer of pride in Dad’s face at the end. That first panel was fucking masterful, too.
It does, but whenever Dad was brought up Pasqy would jump right into his “I love my dad he was perfect” routine.
Hopefully we’ll get to see a whole “Fuck you Dad, you were a dick” rant later.
Up until this point, we’ve seen very little of Dad, really. But we understand him. At least the core of him, I guess. Dad is a miserable, hateful son of a bitch. We’ve seen Dad emote or react a few times, but overall, he’s a real grouch. And his grouchiness has been a constant.
Pasqualo on the other hand has been through some stuff, and while he may be an immature brat still, he’s changed a bit.
This comic is the moment where Pasqualo finally realizes that all along his dad was a real jerk. Dad might’ve talked shit about Pasqy’s anime before but right now Pasq wasn’t in the mood to deal with it. He’s a man on a mission.
As for Dad’s reaction to being kicked in the nuts by his son and watching him eat his hat, well, we’ve just never seen this side of Dad before. We’ve never seen him get assaulted and have his favorite article of clothing eaten. It stirred up a whirlwind of emotions inside of him and he finally settled down to a confused pride. His shitty kid finally stood up for himself big time.
Whether I conveyed this well or not is up to you guys. 😀
Clear to me. Let’s have this Pasqualo’S motherfucker reappear with a makeshift hat made from some dead angel’s head and help him kick her ass gurren lagann style. Although since I’ve mentioned this, it’s not gonna happen. Please don’t hate me.
Yeah, it fell a bit flat. I was hoping his comeuppance would be a bit weightier, or that he’d at least stay stoically nasty to the end and it’d bite him in the ass, or something. Instead he just acts like, well, Pasqualo, and that’s supposed to be how he’s defeated? By being made to act effeminate?
Like this could have worked just as well if Dad just got angrier when Pasqualo took his hat and kicked him in the balls and just got frustrated when that didn’t keep Pasqualo from standing up for himself, or if Pasqualo started rolling off how little he cares about what his dad thinks.
Thirdly! In strip #15, “Dad”, Obtusangelo Trianglini clearly states that he is about to have some alone time with a sledgehammer and some pornography-filled CD-R’s, yet, in this strip, both he and Pasqualo refer to a jackhammer instead! I mean, what are we to believe, that this is a magic sledgehammer/jackhammer hybrid, or something? Ha ha, boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder!
Wait… in holding his balls after the kick, is he indirectly touching his dick through his pants? Does Daddy McDad-dad go to hell now, or is that like a loophole where-in as long as you don’t directly touch your own dick you’re fine?
Keeping the cycle alive!
I’m not sure if I was meant to read all that, but I did.
I saw that giant text dump and immediately thought TL;DR. Then I read it anyways.
It was a TL;RA – Too Long, Read Anyways.
And it was worth it.
What a fucking Roast
All that parenting finally paid off.
I feel like Dad was kinda out of character in this one
not expressionless and stoic enough
the text dump was mighty fine though, worth the read
You’re as retarded as Pasqualo.
Fuck you.
As much as I hate to admit it, I kind of agree with you.

Actually, doesnt it make sense for Pasq to see through it after all this time spent apart, and growing as a person?
It does, but whenever Dad was brought up Pasqy would jump right into his “I love my dad he was perfect” routine.

This is how I see this moment in the story:
Up until this point, we’ve seen very little of Dad, really. But we understand him. At least the core of him, I guess. Dad is a miserable, hateful son of a bitch. We’ve seen Dad emote or react a few times, but overall, he’s a real grouch. And his grouchiness has been a constant.

That sounds like a pretty shitty idea, so I’m glad it won’t happen. Thanks.

Top notch parenting: as always, he knew exactly what the kid needed to hear.
Oh! You think just because it’s 1 am central time where I am and I have 2 exams tomorrow I won’t read that shot?
Well duck you Cob!
Jesus Christ I hate auto cucumber.
so this really is heaven
“What an asshole”. The highest praise he could have possibly given him. Sun rise, sun set.
Yo, this page is erroneously categorised as Chapter 7 instead of Final Chapter! Makes the order all messed up in the archive I tell ya whut!
Also! There’s a typo: “hat plenty of money”? I mean, I guess it could also be foreshadowing!

Fixed all 3. Thank you!
You’re unbelievable. <3
That was amazing. Feel good to finally give pasqs dad what was coming to him?
Wait… in holding his balls after the kick, is he indirectly touching his dick through his pants? Does Daddy McDad-dad go to hell now, or is that like a loophole where-in as long as you don’t directly touch your own dick you’re fine?
I figger’ you can’t touch tour dick UNTIL you get to heaven
for what is heaven if not touching your dick?
Sounds like a gay place. A place for fuckin fags. A place for fags who like touching their own dick, eww
haha when he emotes he looks like pasqualo
Read the whole thing. No regrets.

Is that the smallest, shittiest little inkling of pride I see?
Probably not.
holy SHIT that was so good
This page is a triumph.
I’m gonna need a poster-sized version of the panel of Pasqualo kicking Dad in the balls there, Gob.
…wait, is this the first time we’ve ever seen Dad’s back?
…….does the back of his shirt say ‘Pellin’?

Too far, man.
Needs to have a Trigger Warning for TF2 fans because of the last two pages.
“MMM THAT TASTED GOOD!!! IT TASTED LIKE A FUCKING HAT!!!”
This is an amazing line. Possibly one of the best in It Hurts.
