Or perhaps he is a figment of a fragment of all our colective need, made into mustachioed flesh, manifesting to those who require quasi-introspective guidance when we are stuck at a crossroads from whence we can never return to nor pass though unchanged.
Yeah. That, or he’s just a quiet dude who crashes on the couch and kypes all the muffins…..Dang muffin kypers.
I’m gonna have to go with the idea that Victor never existed. Everyone just thinks they saw him. It’s the whole casts own personal way to vent about what’s happening.
Victor… The mysterious man with the muffin-sack, the mustachioed wanderer, the wondrous man in plaid who walks on through our lives like those New York city streets: Epitome of a transient true friend.
Cue: Carry on My Wayward Son by Kansas
Best storyline yet, loved it.
(I think I’ll write a song about him)
Victor is the only man alive that truly embodies the nature of the duck. He has no cares, no complaints. And he desires only bread. (muffins) And now he must migrate on…
My interpretation… was that he was everything that everybody needed. He’s more of a symbol than a real person. But he seems to have provided a little for everybodies well-being. I think we all want someone like that, too.
That’s probably over-presumptuous tho. Great character.
This chapter was amazing! I loved re-reading it, how all Victor really says is “Yes” yet everyone spills their deepest secrets to him and then he simply leaves. It’s beautiful.
Very well done.
I discovered octopuspie one week ago. read it all. wonderful.
Eve and Will belong together.
Nice ending with Victor… but who was this guy… what’s his secret !!
At first, I hated this storyline. But, if I’m right, then maybe not so much. He was just a figment from pot (or some other natural high) that made it on to the ingredient list by accident. Only the ones who ate the muffins saw him. Not a bad idea. The fact that you didn’t say exactly what happened is cool.
Still, I don’t understand the Victor love. His greatest ability was his ability to not talk. Manuel had that covered already.
Anywho, it took me a while, but I finally have caught up with the current strip. It’s been awesome, and I’m excited for more.
If that’s so, then why was a figment of everyone’s imagination able to go downstairs and convince the cops not to crash the party? They didn’t eat any muffins. Victor is just one of those guys in the world that people naturally trust and who is intuitive. The kind of person everyone likes and wants to be around. Some people just have that trait.
I love this comic. Just started reading it from the beginning.
In my mind Victor is not actually a person, but a idea. That you must look outside yourself to find what you really want, need, or desire.
By far my favourite storyline. Most wonderful!
I love the introduction and end of a character, and the aforementioned symbolism that could potentially be behind him.. Gahh <3
Octopus Pie is my favourite webcomic. Just sayin'.
A master of insight, accomplished only by silence. He spoke what was needed of him and nothing more, and when the day came for him to carry on to the next group of lost souls, he took only meager gifts of his quick-made friends, left a silent thank you of cleanliness and continued on.. ON THIS DAY, I ESTABLISH THE CHURCH OF VICTOR!… Or at least humbly ask for a shirt with Victor on it with the captions “Theres one in all of us”
(PS, theme song for Victor should be “Do you know the Muffin Man?”)
Whoa! So dramatic! @0@ I’ll miss Victor. I hope he returns some day.
I’m also a little glad that it wasn’t just me who was wondering where Victor came from. I thought I had missed something…haha… ;;
Are you sure you didn’t write this entire arc about my roommate? His name is also Victor and he dresses the same and trims his mustache the same. Are you spying on me?
Been following a lot of webcomics, and I never saw one that could make me cry from its sheer meaningful beauty like this. Victor knew the secret of being a good listener, of being helpful when it’s needed, not just when it makes him feel good, and in appreciating people’s creative efforts. He also knew when to move on. He earned his muffins, indeed.
hey guys. Found this comic when Victor got intruduced and all the comments about victor made me interested in reading it. so I’ve just been spending the last few days reading the comic front to back… Good story arc’s, lot’s has gone on for them.
Characteristis are great, I only have one question, with all thats gone on Victor seems to me just a story arc. Acually kinda lame from what i’ve read. So much else is more interesting in the story than victor. Am I not right, such as the Relationship between Ning, the Cheating and make-outs, and all that. Also didn’t she already try to market the muffins way back in another storyline. Anyway you’ve got another fan. Adding it to the list of top comics I daily check. 1. pvponline.com 2. menagea3.com and now 3.octopus pie. Good reading

Precious.
nonononono!!! VICTOOOORRRRRR come baaaaaaaaaaack ;-;
Ahhh Victor.
We all knew you…. or did we?
that sunava bitch stole those muffins!
Well, no one was gonna eat them. Why throw them away?
AHAHAHAHAAHAAA! I laughed till I almost cried… You’re the only one who had the same reaction I did it seems. Glad to hear it voiced so correctly!
he did the recycling and dusted
he earned those muffins
is that is…. is it over??
victor never existed to begin with
“Do you know the muffin man?”
but Victor has always existed. inside all of us.
Or perhaps he is a figment of a fragment of all our colective need, made into mustachioed flesh, manifesting to those who require quasi-introspective guidance when we are stuck at a crossroads from whence we can never return to nor pass though unchanged.
Yeah. That, or he’s just a quiet dude who crashes on the couch and kypes all the muffins…..Dang muffin kypers.
collective, too
O__O
Haha, great ending. What with him only saying “yes” and “hmm” at first, I thought he might not speak english.
I though that too! I was actually kinda bummed out that he did.
He is like a Lamedvavnik!
Victory! the Most awesome Hobo ever… I love victory. *sniff* =’(
I’m gonna have to go with the idea that Victor never existed. Everyone just thinks they saw him. It’s the whole casts own personal way to vent about what’s happening.
Once again, another fine chapter.
My favorite character so far! Well, him and the unicycle guy.
Don’t you see? The Victor was inside you all along!
thats what she said! (sorry, I simply couldnt help it)
Victor… The mysterious man with the muffin-sack, the mustachioed wanderer, the wondrous man in plaid who walks on through our lives like those New York city streets: Epitome of a transient true friend.

(I think I’ll write a song about him)
By-the-by, you should totally have some Victor merch, because I’d totally buy something.
Some kind of bag or traveling kit?
It would be available for a limited time only
Amazing storyline, Meredith!
It’s even more amazing when I think I have a character in my life who really resembles Victor.
Victor is the only man alive that truly embodies the nature of the duck. He has no cares, no complaints. And he desires only bread. (muffins) And now he must migrate on…
Victor was awesome.
My interpretation… was that he was everything that everybody needed. He’s more of a symbol than a real person. But he seems to have provided a little for everybodies well-being. I think we all want someone like that, too.
That’s probably over-presumptuous tho. Great character.
like road warrior…..
This chapter was amazing! I loved re-reading it, how all Victor really says is “Yes” yet everyone spills their deepest secrets to him and then he simply leaves. It’s beautiful.
quite possibly my favorite chapter of octopus pie!! there should definitely be some victor merch!
I need a tshirt with Victor on it
But only when he’s needed again. Like Mary Poppins. Man Victor is too cool. Gotta be his ’stach.
Guy’s an angel, simple as that. I will believe no other explanation.
Victor is not a muffin thief! The muffins are free; they have a sign saying so.
Last panel should have this played over it

so true. victors the shizznit.
Very well done.

SECONDARY COMMENT! That would explain why Will didnt see him!
If that’s so, then why was a figment of everyone’s imagination able to go downstairs and convince the cops not to crash the party? They didn’t eat any muffins. Victor is just one of those guys in the world that people naturally trust and who is intuitive. The kind of person everyone likes and wants to be around. Some people just have that trait.
cause they werent there to crash it to begin with, they were a police cover band
Started reading this a week ago. Loving it. I miss Victor already. :c
I love this comic. Just started reading it from the beginning.
In my mind Victor is not actually a person, but a idea. That you must look outside yourself to find what you really want, need, or desire.
Haha! Awesome, I knew it!
Interesting comments above. The one about Victor being the embodiment of a duck made me snort with laughter.
Interesting theories on him being a figment of their combined imagination/a symbol/the result of pot..
Victor looks like and reminds me of Victor Fuentes from the band Pierce the Veil, except this one has a mustache and short hair.
I love you and your webcomic, Meredith. I never told you before, but its true.
I read this through twice, before i realized they were at a puppet cafe! Brilliant.
By far my favourite storyline. Most wonderful!
I love the introduction and end of a character, and the aforementioned symbolism that could potentially be behind him.. Gahh <3

The world really needs more people like Victor.
…the storyline smells like Kerouac, by the way. Good job!
There’s a Victor in all of our lives…somewhere.
MOAR MOAR MOAR MOAR MOAR!!!
this is the best webcomic EVER!!!!!!!
it’s the universal visual symbol for “I’m cleaning the house,” but who even has a feather duster these days?
More than you think Kaz. And Victor is such a badass.
hasta luego, victor
Whoa! So dramatic! @0@ I’ll miss Victor. I hope he returns some day.
I’m also a little glad that it wasn’t just me who was wondering where Victor came from. I thought I had missed something…haha… ;;
He’s just like the Cat in the Hat.
Victor demands new comics
As much as I ‘d love to see him in another comic, it would completely ruin the magic of his character.
We’ll never forget you Victor!
“….and when we got home, the couch was gone officer”
Reread this entire storyline. I love it so. Victor is a travelling man.
I don’t know. I think it’s his legs. Victor has great legs.
Are you sure you didn’t write this entire arc about my roommate? His name is also Victor and he dresses the same and trims his mustache the same. Are you spying on me?

I love muffins! How do people from France say Muffin? Mah-fan?
