0070 — Nice Pete Formalizes His Umbrage

Clearly the insults heaped upon Nice Pete's think tank's output could not stand. It appears that Pete is so steamed he is penning a manifesto, which is usually not a good sign for anyone named therein. Will the old debts and deeds keep them from killing each other? Or is it a new day — has the blade cut too deep?

Onstad you fuckin did it again

TheDoc-Worker

i love this low-caste trio vs ray plotline. the question is where do beef's loyalties stand? to his best friend? or to those kindred folk who have so many times come home to a passed out drunk mother and lukewarm 'mayo rolls' on the kitchen table?

Datura

Jail Grail is a fantastic term for the butt

Nicole Lyden

Shower seemed like a pretty natural response to PB butt. Didn’t think twice.

Cody Richmond

I mean, he is a cat. I'm sure not going to feed a cat any peanuts to see how that goes.

Jacquelyn R Walters

Ray should not be talking to his mother about shitting Jesus Christ man what the woman has sacrificed for you.

Nicholas Williams

Why has nobody pointed out that during his tirade about the endless messiness of excreting peanuts, Ray has emerged from a shower and is getting a fresh pair of socks This is Chekhov’s gun, but in reverse (?)

Chris Onstad

Just so long as he didn't employ any low colloquialisms like "jail grail."

Douglas Wykstra

The most disturbing thing about this strip is the way that Ray's digestive tract apparently handles peanuts. I don't think that's supposed to be happening, Ray.

Douglas Wykstra

Nice Pete getting into used-bookstore occultism is a nice swerve. Perhaps it'll end up going beyond even the Ramathustra Ron arc.

Ian Stewart

Is Nice Pete using date palms and sound waves to build a pyramid at Ray? In the garage??!

I know it's been a second, but dang it Nice Pete you were all in on Ray as the New Jesus at one point https://achewood.com/2007/01/22/title.html

Glad to see Ray talking about the dangers of eating too many peanuts!

Tom Simmons

Yes, but danger is a very real idea.

John Robinson

Sorry, mom. Next time I'll spare the description and live stream it instead. Disappointed that the curse didn't include blood.

J Hardy Carroll

That bandana is the only thing keeping Nice Pete's head from exploding all Cronenberg-style.

Jay Y

The headband is out, Pete is serious.

Elyse

Certainly she was willing to hear him out about the merits of super-sharp helicopter blades.

Oppido

The way this strip flips 🤣

Cf Duddy

Eh, being in trouble is a fake idea.

Anthony Thompson

This fits my personal dictum: if someone talks about "logic" or "the mind" as something like "the essential force", they are either LieBot or Nice Pete material.

Alexander Rediger

OH SHIT A VAN'S GONNA COME A ROCKIN'

Bungus Bronbo

Buttocks.

Dan Willett

Brendan Fraser ensues

s b

Uh oh. Pete has the "Eye of the Tiger" and Ray should be peanut buttering his skivvies.

Julie (HiDeeHoGal)

Oh shiiit

Matt Mitchell

Ray's conversations with his mother reveal a woman of multitudes. She might have been cool with chat sacks if Ray had been honest with her.

Derek Adams

I'm sure everyone knows someone around whom it's almost impossible not to achieve the status of a symbol of all which must be eradicated if life on Earth is to survive just by being in their presence for long enough. Tread-Carefully-People.

Matthew Harris

Nice Pete seems like he might be one of the few purchasers of Mark Corrigan's "Business Secrets of the Pharaohs," and was able to discover meaning in it that the author never imagined.

Charles Richter

A seemingly innocuous gag strip turns out to launch a storyline? Could this possibly be Achewood?

Matthew Harris

I'm trying to remember the exact wording, but there was an old strip where the alt text said something like Ray is always having the worst cell phone conversation it is possible to overhear, and I'm glad that holds true even now.

Travis O.

I called this happening last week, but I didn't think Pete would be invoking any powers, certainly not LOST powers.

Brian Sutton

I had an uncle named Therein Woebetide. Unca Therrey never stood a chance.

Bruce Bortin

RIP Choco Tacos

Rob Satterfield

Sorry, mom.
