Since this, Pooty and Ragamuffin's 'buddy-hate' relationship has only begun to increase. At "times", they lend each other a hand when they need one, (such as when they worked together to hide the Bloody Birthday clowns in issue #6 Volume 2, or when Ragamuffin helped Pooty pull a splinter out of his ass in Issue #8 Volume 2), but they also can betray each other in small ways at the same time, and weakly argue like an old married couple. (Like when Pooty asked to take a picture with Ragamuffin, and made him look completely ridiculous by drawing and writing things to make fun of him in the background, or when Ragamuffin 'agreed' to tell Lenore how her parents actually left her and were killed by Taxidermy, but instead gave the wheel to Pooty by saying, "Lenore, Pooty has something to tell you. And if he doesn't, it means he hates you a lot.")
