Onstad you fuckin did it again

Datura

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?

Nicole Lyden

Jail Grail is a fantastic term for the butt

Cody Richmond

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

Jacquelyn R Walters

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

Nicholas Williams

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

Chris Onstad

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 (?)

Douglas Wykstra

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.

Ian Stewart

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

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

Tom Simmons

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

John Robinson

Yes, but danger is a very real idea.

J Hardy Carroll

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

Jay Y

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

Elyse

The headband is out, Pete is serious.

Oppido

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

Cf Duddy

The way this strip flips 🤣

Anthony Thompson

Eh, being in trouble is a fake idea.

Alexander Rediger

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.

Bungus Bronbo

OH SHIT A VAN'S GONNA COME A ROCKIN'

Dan Willett

Buttocks.

Brendan Fraser ensues

Julie (HiDeeHoGal)

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

Matt Mitchell

Oh shiiit

Derek Adams

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.

Matthew Harris

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.

Charles Richter

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.

Matthew Harris

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

Travis O.

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.
