What is it about Pastis that the other cartoonists don't like? :)

I wasn't sure, but I thought your comment about Pastis was meant
humorously. In case others don't take it that way, he's quite liked by
other cartoonists and the cartoonist community enjoys teasing one
another in their strips.

He's moist and glisteny.
Keeps chickens in his garage.
Cheats at ping-pong.
Likes to kiss his biceps while flexing and say, "Take a look at these guns:
Douche and Bag."
In his day job working for the Schulz studio, approved the recent cartoon,
"It's a Ground Assault in Jalalabad to Protect Our Freedoms, Charlie Brown."
They can smell the lingering stench lawyer on him.

No, he's truly widely reviled. Almost universally, I'd say.

At least he's not keeping chickens in *your* garage. That's pretty
thoughtful of him, I'd say.

That's "stench OF lawyer." The other way doesn't sound fit for civil
society. Although "stench lawyer" could be a neat specialty.

Stench lawyers actually exist, but they go by the cumbersome and
euphemistic title "Members of the American Bar Association Commission on
Ethics."

I guess I'm confused by your unsubstantiated condemnation of Pastis.
Perhaps you had an unpleasant personal experience with him? I think
you have to back up your comment by some facts other than opinion.
Certainly there are those who don't like him, but having seen him (no,
I don't personally know him) in a few cartoonist events, the fondness
for him by many other cartoonists sure seemed genuine and not just for
show.

Brian and Stephan are neighbors and friends. Their digs at each other (as
some of us saw in the online party for Brian's latest book) are
ruthless-sounding but good-natured schtick.
I think.

Back up my comment by some facts (rather) than opinion? Oh, I've got facts,
as unpleasant as they may be.
Fact: Pastis only became a cartoonist when he discovered that practicing law
was insufficiently degrading.
Fact: Pastis reeks of garlic, over-ripe canteloupe, and Ovaltine.
Fact: Pastis's strip is actually produced overseas by North Korean orphans.
Fact: whenever Pastis walks past a gumball machine, he sticks his finger up
the hole to see if he can shake loose a free one.
Fact: Pastis doesn't actually have a goatee. He's just a really messy eater.
Of sticky hair stubble.
Fact: You know that guy at the movies who sits right beside you even though
the rest of the theater is empty and then hogs the armrest? Pastis.
Fact: Pastis learned to draw by sending five dollars and two cereal boxtops
to the Dale Earnhardt Correspondence School. It took him three years to
figure out they taught "car tuning," not "cartooning."
I believe you're mistaking "fondness" for that rictus grin people make when
they're trying to keep down their lunches in the presence of an oppressively
foul presence. He's as cuddly as a cactus, he's as charming as an eel. Make
no mistake, he's a bad banana with a greasy black peel.

Roasts are occasions for good-naturing joking. Sadly, these aren't jokes;
they're facts.

I've never met the gentleman, so I couldn't say. Nor have I met Pastis's
mother, though the rumor whispered in cartooning circles is that she's a
hamster.

=Fact= He's one ingredient short of being absinthe.
=Fact= Bill Watterson has that ingredient.
