Man, hair like Nice Pete's is strange and particular in this day, but it is rude to call a man on it. It is also rude to threaten a man, even if he is rude back.

I liked that Pete, during the threatening process, appeared on the other side of Lyle. I suppose our perspective could have switched, but I like to think Pete is that powerful.

I'd love to get a Christmas card like that: all uncomfortable moment of impending violence, all hilarious facial hair of two dudes.

That is not sass. A death threat is well beyond sass.

Sass is more like chiding. Chiding is a few miles away from straight up threatening genital mutilation. You do not playfully pass such a comment among friends, but type it out on an old typewriter on yellowed paper and leave it on a doorstep accompanied by photos of the recipient with his eyes blacked out with marker.
Sass does not arrive in such a medium.

It's generational. I was a kid in the '80s, so Pee-Wee's Playhouse is the most stoned I can be, just as Howdy Doody is the most stoned my mom can be.

Any idea what Lyle's infractions are at this point in the story? I'm guessing that one of them was for playing that one 'A' note at the beginning of their first song. Not sure about the other one.

Maybe It's a "reverse countdown" where Lyle has three strikes, each check being a strike. When his name is erased, then he will be Taken by Nice Pete.

'Welcome back from the record label negotiations...". Anybody else notice that with the new hair and the mic in hand that Pete is looking a lot like a news presenter bringing us back in from an ad break?

When normal people say things like panel #5, they are using hyperbole to express how angry they are. Nice Pete, on the other hand, actually will cut you to rags and feed your salted dick to a dog.

Is it insane that I didn't even notice anything strange about Pete's hair until Lyle mentioned it?
I'm afraid of Pete, I can't look that dude in the eye.
