That one sounds fun.

Somehow, I don't think that you'd have to work at McDonald's for six months to pull that off.

Pete was probably intensely watching customers once he had the head, in order to find the lady that most deserved this Act.

You got "Act" right, but I think it's "The Head", and "The Lady".

I tip my hat to you, sir.

your Hat, that is?

THESE KNIVES

...sorry for partying.

I agree, but I would also add that the person most Deserving would not be the one who pissed him off the most, as a normal person might expect, but the most shining example of Purity and Innocence he could find, a truly Deserving Person.

nice pete is the daniel day-lewis of murders

You are suggesting that Pete is a "Method" murderer?

Man, I don't even know what to think about that.

That is so true. Pete does not Think about the murder. Pete Is the murder.

you wouldn't. i promise.

I would love Pete as my friend, I really think we'd relate.

I' sure he'd love to shoot a few hoops with you.

And go for a ride in his van

Pete's pose in the last panel is idyllic. He is in his element, reminiscing fondly. It is beautiful.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish.

I didn't watch my buddies die face down in the mud so that you could post a comment like that!

Hmm, why only 3.8? I would have thought the last panel guaranteed a 4. Maybe people rated it low for grossness?

A comment left by rowboat was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by shadowlink_97, Semiquaver, theplaidknight, Wite_Rabit)

Fuck along, now.

It is lame that I don't like this strip every bit as much as you do. It truly is.

Sorry, I just don't get the appeal of rating a strip and then telling everybody how you rated it, unless it provoked an extreme reaction of some kind. "I sort of didn't like it" is a uniquely soporiphic waste of people's time. As is this discussion.

I agree, I think. But you are picking nits a little, here.

Yeah, but can't you be just the slightest bit ashamed of being the nit? Please, it's for my pride, which ain't been doing too well lately. I mean I ain't got much to be proud of.

Alright. Just this once, though.

You're a gracious man.

I hit F-11 just so that I can see your avatar appear three times on the page. Poor cows...

Not rated high enough!
"That was a fun one"

I know, right? What is up with this?

Susan Messing once told me the a key to comedy is in the details. Just a foot in a salad, okay. But at an Applebee's, with a Champion short sock on? It's like triple the joke power for only a few words more!

Jesus Christ I'm wearing a Champion short sock right now!

eyes dart quickly side to side

Pete and Teodor are cold having drinks, reminiscing and shit.

Actually they found the chicken head in Mighty Wings . You think Nice Pete would be more particular about these things.

Pete's shenanigans mostly involve body parts in fast food chain meals. And basketball.

He's quite the kidder.

The alt-text makes this... maybe it's only 3.9 because people miss the alt-text? it's a 5 in my book

Um, did the alt-text say something funny when you looked at it? Because now it just says "Inside the Murderer's Studio."

I love that Nice Pete is so articulate and sits with his legs crossed. What a gentleman.

The cat had a human foot?

Yes. Nice Pete murdered a human. For a cat, he is very Good at murder.

What do we think Nice Pete is doing in panel two?

I think he is casually inspecting his fingernails.

the chick way, too...not the guy style of folding the fingers over the palm..

or he could be gesturing in a 'p'shaw!' way like 'but that ain't nothin' !'

chicken head in McNuggets? Is this why Pete isn't welcome in ANY McDonald's anymore?

I think that, combined with the 8 second scream pretty much sealed the whole chain-wide banning thing.

Nice Pete snuck a new flavor into the Cold Stone freezer: Mint n' Kidney Stone.
