Giving a gift you intended for your girlfriend (in your dreams) to your kid sister may not be a situation full of pathos. But it would be kind of pathetic.
Be honest – how many of you didn’t know the exact meaning of a word that Petey just casually used at the end? (I love the advanced vocabularies that even the kindergarten kids have in this strip.)
So – knowing little sisters (I had one), she will sneak back into his room when he is absent and play with it anyway…and probably end up breaking something!
Petey did not give up on his mission. He just completed it in a different way. It’s not a play-toy for you, Alice: it’s a solemn reminder there among the zombies….

Petey sure has low self-esteem when it comes to socializing with others… specially his own parents, sister, and grandmother.

Use it in a shoe-box diorama depicting a scathing commentary on pathos and lost opportunities… Now with Zombies! ☺

The pathos to enlightenment is strewn with un-given gifts.

Sounds like Petey is a bit of a masochist.
