This is the beginning of one of my favorite Achewood arcs ever. It got so dramatic and even serious!

This is where Onstad's art starts to get really fucking good. Absolutely brilliant arc. I'm on an archive trawl, and I'm excited.
zem » pro2 years ago
Oh Philippe. How did you get into this situation.
dropkickpikachu » pro2 years ago
Nice Pete is right. Try it sometime.
stuart » neu2 years ago
Tap out 8 full seconds with your fingers and try just exhaling for the entire duration at audible volume.
As you can see, Nice Pete is a professional screamer.
spinynorman » neu2 years ago
Is that going full-out blast at the top of your fucking lungs so that your face is red and your nose might bleed, or just singing an even A?
dorothypoopbot » neu1 years ago
Don't forget, this is while people in the McDonald's are going all crazy trying to get you out of there before you upset their bloated customers.

Exhaling is different from making noise. It's harder to just breathe out audibly for a sustained period than it is to continually make a sound with your voice
ssddr » pro2 years ago
I like to walk around Wal-mart alone at 3 am reapeating Nice Pete's lines very loudly.

Sadly, those people are trained to ignore you...
carlyle » neu11 months ago
Those people are fucking BORN to ignore you.
tekende » con1 years ago
Because you repeat a line directly from a comic on the same page as that comic?
rayonatoilet » neu5 months ago
Because he put that chicken head in that woman's box of Mcnuggets, obviously.

It was just another afternoon in the life of Nice Pete
excusemesenator » neu2 years ago
This was the first Achewood strip I ever read. It made me laugh like the dickens.
_cheesekayke » neu2 years ago
I got so distraught when I first read this comic. I believe I had difficulty breathing.

time for a trip to mickey d's
spinynorman » neu2 years ago
For some reason when I'm bored at parties I will actually start talking like this.
I mean, the hell with all these people, I'm never gonna meet them again anyway.
dasilodavi » neu2 years ago
That IS a hard thing to do.
songbirdspectre » neu2 years ago
You people are all so talky.
rowboat » pro2 years ago
Nice Pete owns the Mystery Machine.
fineoakstructure » neu1 years ago
If by "owns" you mean "Corrected its previous operators," then yes.
subtlet » pro2 years ago
Didn't Phillipe's mother warn him about this type of situation?
dwade » neu2 years ago
One must wonder how many McDonalds Nice Pete is still actually allowed in...
tekende » neu2 years ago
Um, 0. He said he's not welcome in any of them.
cpnglxynchos » neu1 years ago
there are Notices about him in break rooms and under counters.
tekende » neu1 years ago
All with grainy security-cam photos
wilbur » neu2 years ago
Nice Pete is probably a fan of Chris Cunningham music videos.
drago25 » pro2 years ago
chubby for that avatar
slab64 » neu1 years ago
I assume you're referencing the Aphex Twin video for "Come to Daddy". Very apropos.
wilbur » neu1 years ago
Yeah, I like to think that Nice Pete's creation myth is very similar to that video.
l_c_b » pro2 years ago
That is a straight up serial killer van.
scorpio_nadir » neu10 months ago
Looks like a Dodge. I had a white Ford van like that. Piece of junk except the motor was an unkillable beast.
snachicat » neu7 months ago
It looks confused. Like the headlights are eyes going all opposite of cross-eyed.
I don't know I guess what I am trying to say here is that I think serial killers should drive vans that look less confused. I'm sorry.
drago25 » pro2 years ago
Man the most I could ever pull off was six seconds
tttt2 » neu2 years ago
Nice Pete was a workin' man
wilbur » neu1 years ago
A sparkle was in his eye
And Philippe's life was in his hands.
jimbob » neu9 months ago
Early in the morning at the break of day, I think we all know what Nice Pete used to do.
canusdivinus » pro1 years ago
Sometimes the best response is just to scream and shake. Doesn't matter who you're talking to, you win that argument.
shineboxx » pro1 years ago
I like the van's face in the first panel.
ravigotte » pro1 years ago
Yeah, it sort-of looks "retarded", you know, all, eyes pointing outward in two different directions, stupid flat grin on its face
atticusonline » pro1 years ago
I can't help but wonder where he got that van since he drove his last one into a bunch of dental workers.
cpnglxynchos » neu1 years ago
*points to corner of room*
there are some of their hands.
radarjammer » neu1 years ago
Panel 3 happens to me way too often.
lutipold » pro1 years ago
Nice Pete breaks at least two driving guidelines in this strip.
straw » pro1 years ago
Haha, this was on my 21st birthday!
sex_bicycle » neu1 years ago

sex_bicycle » neu1 years ago
awww dammit >.< i forgot those were american dates and not english that to me reads 11th of march but it's the 3 of november isn't it lol
njury » pro1 years ago
I can put my legs behind my back, but I don't see how that helps during sex.
Especially since I'm male.
ravigotte » neu1 years ago
and don't like the freaky stuff
sevenslashfour » pro6 months ago
Nice Pete is one of those characters I feel kinda ashamed for enjoying so damn much, and this is a pretty clear example as to why.
