"Him and what else?"
* * * * * * * * * *
Here we see Chick Counterfly expecting there to be more text—a sort of "subtext," if you will—to Darby's simple statement of "Pugnax." But sometimes there is no subtext. The answer is right there in the words in front of your face. Although I'm sure the "what else" of this statement is probably something that Darby, Chick, and the reader are just currently unaware. Like maybe Pugnax is possessed by a thousand lost souls trying to flee Hell.
