Fancy California meet West Virginia.

In West Virginia USB murder devices are sort of the new age way of taking harsh criticism.

Holy shit, Nice Pete invented Assetbar!

I was glad to see Nice Pete's quote used in one of the fine magazine articles about Achewood. His crazed conciseness really makes these strips shine.

This strip gets ups just for reminding us all of the coelacanth. Treat your self to a google image search today, won't you? Thank you.

Yeah, and people thought the manatee was ugly. They have much to learn today.

people also thought manatees were mermaids, christopher columbus included

also i don't know how you could possibly want to eat one of these coelacanths

Yeah not many people realise this but Christopher Columbus was a fucking retard. Chris is all like "The Earth is much smaller than you think!" And everyone is like, "No, Chris, it's not. It's really fucking big and there is no way you can get to India by going west from Plymouth."
Chris is all "You guys just think the Earth is flat!"
Everyone is all "No we don't, Chris. We know it's round. Everyone has known the Earth is round for years. But there is another continent between here and there, the Dutch told us about it."
Chris: "LALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOOOU"

I charge you with a rewriting. We know you can do it.

Except that most historians agree that, while dramatized just a little, his interpretation is pretty accurate. Most knowledgeable people, even the church at the time, agreed the Earth was round and had for a few decades. The people who believed it was flat were your common peasant, not the royalty that Christopher Columbus had financing his voyage. The "You'll fall off the edge of the world." thing was likely used as a "We don't want to spend money on you, let's toss out some fairy tale and hope you're uneducated so you can just shut up. You're not? Well, crap... Fine, why not? If you DO find a way there, you can bring us back untold riches. And if not, you'll be out of our hair."

Accuracy chubby

Manatees are so adorable.
I would hug one so much.

I imagine that if bean bag chairs were in fact animals, they would not be very different from manatees.

that would be rad. a beanbag chair with little details so that it looks like a manatee.

the humble coelacanth may not be much to look at but we all owe them one for evolving into the first terrestrial vertebrates

Coelacanths are big, ugly, difficult-to-pronounce motherfuckers.

SEE-luh-canth, by the way

Yeah, this strip is where I learned to pronounce this word. It's one of the words that makes me think that spelling is basically arbitrary in English.

I love how he just starts saying that last part out loud; I like to imagine being there, hearing that, and being like, hey, wtf.

hup! hup!

Nice Pete get's my highest honor for this strip.
Although, I think I saw a situation like this on one of those crime shows, i.e. C.S.I.

Yep, me too. I believe it was Without A Trace... this Paris Hilton type was kidnapped and tortured on a webcam and users could vote whether or not she could die. Sadly, if this actually happened to Paris Hilton, she wouldn't have lasted 2 days.

Exactly what part of that statement can be described as "sadly"?

HA HA PARIS HILTON IS TEH SUXORS

hey did u guys here paris hilton sux
because i think she sux

i have had whoper

Oh, I see the problem. You classify Paris Hilton as "human".

Actually the problem is that he's getting on his high horse about an internet joke.

I think he was implying that it would be sad she'd die so quickly.

This is probably the fourth or fifth time reading this, but only now I'm thinking about the implications of what Nice Pete is saying. Obviously he would be guilty for setting up the device, but would others be guilty as well for activating/using/voting for it? Kinda scary...

I always imagine Ray's last line sounding like.

"He-ate-that-coel-a-CANTH."

Me. Too.

Powers that I want.

1. Flying.
2. Invisibility.
3. The ability to recite the last panel at will at any time.

5'd for the little arrows that guide you through Ray's beatboxing. And his eyebrows--man, he is just FURIOUSLY beatboxing.

Best. Alt text. Ever.

Onstad mocks your entusiasm for alt texts.

Millions of people thrown into jail at once. I mean damn, what if they all get the death penalty?

Ever since I read this my trump comeback is I AM THE FATHER OF MODERN DEATH! I HAVE OPENED A NEW CHAPTER IN THE HISTORY OF MURDER!

Seriously, Nice Pete is so crazy every time he's in a strip it gets a 5

HE DRANK A POTION SPICED WITH SAGE AND BREWED WITH AMARANTH

IEEE? Can I get an enlightening?

---> This <---

earlier tonight i went to see some horrible movie that put me to sleep. however, it was worth the price of admission because they played a trailer for the movie untraceable. that movie is basically nice pete's murder death plan if it were stripped of everything good. if i were onstad, i might start suing some folks.

Dude, I saw that trailer too! Before Rendition.

Man seriously. Way to go, Hollywood.

I can envisage that as he screams those last few lines, Ray and Teodor's heads spin around so fast that their necks crick, and the influence of the pot drains from their system like water out of a thrice-used paper cup. Ray's grimace of mortification covered only by his beat-boxin' hands.

The best thing is the two little hup! hup! thingys in the third panel

This strip is now a major morion picture.

*motion picture

Shit.

You may not be too far off. Judging from the trailers, it might be a major moron picture.

It got a decent review from Ebert. But then, maybe he just wanted to seem hip to the Interwebs. I...don't know how to feel?

Anyone who is reading this from the Future and is considering renting any of the movies that have came out based around Webcam murders: don't.

I believe there is a film or something with a plot based on the stuff Nice Pete says. An episode of CSI? One of the Saw movies? Something like that.

Besides the newer films that have been mentioned already, that was an episode of MILLENIUM.

I was thinking this arc would eventually become interactive, with an actual voting system set up through assetbar to determine who would be stabbed. Then it's a ::insert character:: in heaven/hell story arc from there!

If you think Teodor SHOULD be stabbed, click page 19. If you think that he SHOULDN'T, click page 112!

I enjoy the lopsidedness of Nice Pete's face.

I KNEW when this movie came out that it sounded eerily familiar. Now I remember why. What does it say about our culture when Hollywood starts ripping off Nice Pete?

I love it when hilarious jokes turn into reality. Thank you movie industry. Thank you

the... the directors last name is Hoblit.

hip hoblit?

Now they are doing mash-ups of old horror movies, like The Omen The Exorcist = The Unborn. With all the remakes of horror movies, I thank all that I can that a remake of Scary Movie has not been made. The first and all subsequent films of its kin are a wretched and dark curse upon humanity that feasts on the puss oozing from the bloated and infected pop culture of America.

I am a member of the IEEE, and I am a student engineer.

Is your hand on the blade?

This is almost like two strip in one.

When cruising through the archives on random, I tend to get this strip a hell of a lot.

Just thought you'd like to know.

...no, never at any time did I think anyone would like to know. I just said it because, try as I might, I'm just a human being, and I have ego, and I want attention and the chubbies it may bring.

pity chubby
