0071 — Pt. 2 of, "Nice Pete Formalizes His Umbrage"
Added 2024-06-28 17:00:06 +0000 UTCOuttakes and unused panels from this strip will post at noon in the In-Universe and Author's tiers!
Three men you know surprise you by appearing in your securely-locked garage late one evening. They are dressed as a Lost Egyptian Math Rock band. You have recently denied them funding for what you thought was a pretty terrible invention. Do you:
a) Berate them individually, then as a group
b) Take a moment to see what they are trying to communicate with you
c) Sign them to your foundering vanity record label
All three of these options were available to Ray, yet he chose...poorly.
Join us next week to see just what in the Dickens has become of Ray's soul, and how two bass notes opened the geometric portal to the afterlife...if that is indeed what it is.

Ray has been sealed

2024-07-01 22:20:58 +0000 UTC“Todd! Fuck you! Now!” Is one of the best dialogue lines I’ve ever laid eyes upon

2024-06-30 09:37:18 +0000 UTCNice work using a real sigil
E Corcoran
2024-06-29 03:45:42 +0000 UTCYes, it's very unlike Pete, Lyle and Todd to engage in bullshit

Cody Richmond
2024-06-29 01:09:12 +0000 UTCNice Pete’s backstory over the last handful of years is pouring his shriveled heart and soul into this plan. To have snubbed straightaway… is too grave an offense to merely do a murder in response, y’know?
Cody Richmond
2024-06-29 01:08:43 +0000 UTCFeel like Sigil of Madness is kind of Todd’s MO.
Cody Richmond
2024-06-29 01:06:09 +0000 UTCI bet if you played the Dyad of Thutmose through a polyphonic oscillator but ran each note through a separate filter/VCA it would sound fuckin' sick as hell.

2024-06-28 23:31:33 +0000 UTCTrying not to wake my husband up laughing at “Todd! Fuck you! NOW!”
haveacraigday
2024-06-28 22:55:55 +0000 UTCThis seems…overly disproportionate in response.
Matt Thurston
2024-06-28 22:30:30 +0000 UTC"I mean, you could say that about anybody in the world!"
David Garrett
2024-06-28 22:15:22 +0000 UTCI think Lyle would appreciate being a tattoo on a stripper's lower back more than a jumbo tron

2024-06-28 21:31:07 +0000 UTCI HAVE A PRINCE ALBERT
Oppido
2024-06-28 20:33:09 +0000 UTCAlso, I imagine Pete probably promised Lyle a truly gruesome fate if he didn't comply here. Maybe involving a Jumbotron.
Oppido
2024-06-28 20:26:49 +0000 UTCNot a Fuck you! NOW! Friday?
Walter Cooke
2024-06-28 19:55:18 +0000 UTCWherever Ray is, he just needs to find a Friendly's
Ismini Roller
2024-06-28 19:37:39 +0000 UTCJesus, do not fuck with Empire Of The Sun apparently
Ben Sunshine-Hill
2024-06-28 19:01:27 +0000 UTCTodd's the best guy to be placed on the Sigil of Madness. He's died a couple of times and been unfazed. I don't want Todd in my corner on much of anything, nor as my VP, but on the Sigil of Madness? Absolutely.
Jay Y
2024-06-28 18:46:48 +0000 UTCImpressive execution from the van-rock trio, though I think banishing Ray to a dimension that appears to be made of music is not going to stop him for long.
Douglas Wykstra
2024-06-28 18:30:19 +0000 UTCUsing Sacred Geometry in combat gives the affected area -1 Polish Integrity for the remainder of the encounter.
Douglas Wykstra
2024-06-28 18:25:33 +0000 UTCLyle feels really guilty about not being off-book during their pitch, and if playing a forbidden bass note to banish his friend to the Duat seems like a strange way to clear his conscience, well, that's just how he deals sometimes.
Douglas Wykstra
2024-06-28 18:23:32 +0000 UTCIt's a Fuck You Now Friday.
Steamed_Grahams
2024-06-28 18:21:44 +0000 UTC“Fuck you! NOW!” will definitely be something I say frequently
Jeff Holt
2024-06-28 18:08:40 +0000 UTChttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87M5elTGDBo I apologize in advance--or don't at all--for the song that leapt to mind as the hexillation began.
Kriegsaffe No. 9
2024-06-28 18:02:40 +0000 UTCWow, it's the Mister Band reunion we never dreamed possible. They're really leaning into theatricality in this new era. When are the T-shirts available?
Ian Stewart
2024-06-28 18:02:17 +0000 UTCAwesome. "Ray gets entombed in a mystical prison of his own mind" is my favorite story arc-type
Nicolas Ricci
2024-06-28 17:54:50 +0000 UTCSurprised to see Lyle playing with Nice Pete after he was threatened with having his salted dick cut off and fed to Nice Pete's dog. I guess he's evolved enough that he's cool with being the woman of the band, but it seems to me to be disrespecting the peculiar Achewood logic. It's like if Connie started listening to top-40.
J Hardy Carroll
2024-06-28 17:53:50 +0000 UTCKudos to Nice Pete, both for completing a successful Egyptian Math teleportation on the first try, and for dressing for the occasion!
Brian Sutton
2024-06-28 17:39:36 +0000 UTCRay's soul is going to crush it in the Egyptian afterlife
Jonathan
2024-06-28 17:39:07 +0000 UTCI need to hear more about his disinterest in the seasoned tomato puree aspect of ketchup.

2024-06-28 17:36:41 +0000 UTCPanel 4 artwork absolutely killed me
Nicholas Joliat
2024-06-28 17:34:53 +0000 UTCOh my god "Todd! Fuck you! NOW!" is SUCH a good line.
Shawn Ritchie
2024-06-28 17:29:08 +0000 UTCOh please let this be leading to a Ray/Lonis Edison reunion.
Oppido
2024-06-28 17:22:11 +0000 UTCThat's a waste of some concrete polish for sure
b.zap
2024-06-28 17:21:22 +0000 UTCI can’t believe I doubted Nice Pete
Cf Duddy
2024-06-28 17:20:20 +0000 UTCLyle's embracing the Pre-Black-Sabbath-Proto-Doom hair there. Lends the gravitas that Nice Pete's occult ritual really needed.
Distant Egg Song
2024-06-28 17:14:25 +0000 UTCdid not know I needed to see Nice Pete as a pharaoh but I'm constantly learning things about myself

2024-06-28 17:14:21 +0000 UTCAt last, worthy afterlife transportation; no more Subaru Brats.
Mustafa Beg
2024-06-28 17:11:42 +0000 UTCSacred Geometry has always been my most hated of D&D feats.
Bill Cameron
2024-06-28 17:11:18 +0000 UTCsome months i look at my budget and think what costs can i cut things are tighter than i like strips like this are why achewood patreon is never a part of that conversation
Zen Window
2024-06-28 17:10:51 +0000 UTCLost Egyptian Math Rock? Then what's the reference to Charon's ferry in aid of? Surely he should be all citing the Duat, the Feather of Maat and the Scales of Thoth. Not some Ptolemy usurper's bullshit. I deem this band poseurs.
Matthew Harris
2024-06-28 17:10:21 +0000 UTC"Fuck you! NOW!" is my favorite line so far in the Patreon era. This whole strip/arc feels very old school, I love it
balbert
2024-06-28 17:09:29 +0000 UTCLyle really pulls off that hairstyle
Shawn Warren
2024-06-28 17:08:09 +0000 UTCThe ghost of Lemmy smiles.
Julie (HiDeeHoGal)
2024-06-28 17:08:02 +0000 UTCwait, these idiots actually did something with this? okay, I'm in.
Mackenzie Guillory
2024-06-28 17:07:02 +0000 UTCFuck you! NOW! Have not laughed this hard in public in a long time
Jenn

Ben Wissett
2024-06-28 17:06:25 +0000 UTC"Burglin' my riches" goes right into the regular rotation. "Fuck you! NOW!" also.
