His experience with Blister - especially the fact that he was unable to visit bloody retribution upon an already-dead critic - has soured Pete on the whole process.

I've been reading chronologically, and I'm pretty sure the last Nice Pete strip (where he and Pat are at the therapy session) is where this capitalization of verbs starting with "A" began. I wonder if Pete will retain this idiosyncrasy throughout.

I don't think Pete's vocal capitalisation is alphabetical. It seems to be applied to things he considers Important.
Also: where does Pete live these days? Pat and Rod seem to share a house, so is Pete their rarely-seen roomie?
On one hand, Rod seems too level-headed to stand for such a thing. On the other, Pete definitely has an appreciation for Men having Times of Men (not to mention good Country etiquette), so maybe he makes an excellent flatmate?

Pat's reaction here is fascinating. On one hand, he displays his typical arrogant and vicious sense of smug cultural superiority (echoed in other strips by his insistence that Beef rent his Noam Chomsky dvd and Pat's apparent preference for "intelligent" programming). On the other hand, he plays the ultimate philistine card by describing Picasso's work as "weird crap."
Pat is such a dick it boggles the mind. He manages to be an uncouth dick and a couth-and-don't-you-forget-it dick in the same strip!

Fuck you. Cubism is ridiculous in its influence. I wrote a paper on that shit and keep the research articles in a drawer. Fuckin, Demoiselles de Avignon scared the bejesus out of those people with good reason: it was three-dimensional art snuck into two dimensions.
Dali was interesting, but don't mouth off about things you can't reference.

The text from panel four, along with an animated .gif made from the Daedalus_X strip, was my avatar for the longest time. One of the few tangible benefits from a humanities degree is knowing when not to spend your money on what is obviously a bad job.

Now that is a threat
When most people make threats like that and you can laugh it off. It's a different proposition with Nice Pete; Nice Pete does not believe in the Sin of sayin' lies.
This summarizes Nice Pete very well.
And Pat, come to think of it.
