Yeah, kind of like the ever popular crossdressing routine in sitcoms.

Boo to that.

I enjoy the line "you are so pretty".
I imagine it being delivered in a soft whimper, perhaps through a choked tear.
And Klick occurs again?! This must be Onstad's new favourite noise.
Good strip, would read again.

Gosh that's disturbing.

What's disturbing is that Onstad thought that would entertain us.

Let's be fair: as a variation on the "one character overhears something that sounds terrible and it turns out to be less so" gag, this is sort of funny. What a weak-ass gag, but hey. I find it residually funny that Nice Pete was actually talking to a chicken.

Incidentally, did anyone else find Nice Pete's dialogue in this strip very... Roast Beegiraffe? The first skim-through I missed Teodor's thought bubble in the fifth panel and assumed that the misunderstanding gag was "Teodor thinks Beef is killing Molly and/or another lady, but instead it's just Nice Pete being a weirdo."

Both Nice Pete and Roast Beef show a distain for punctuation.  I think they look quite similar, aside from the hair.

Since Showbiz appears a couple of years younger than Beef, I wonder if Beef and Pete are the twins Beef's dad mentions before getting shot.

If I recall correctly, it's been verified at this point that Showbiz and Beef are twins and that Nice Pete is from West Virginia, (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=10272003) while Beef appears to be an Achewood native.

Per an earlier thread, Onstad likes to pair up complementary Meyers-Briggs types. It so happens that the introverted ones (Beef, Pete, Blister) show a disdain for punctuation.The exception appears to be Mr. Bear.

I don't know what is with you guys but I like this one. For me the joke isn't 'Oh no Pete's going to kill someone, oh wait no he's not' it is, like the alt-text indicates, that he is simply practicing.
Besides I like the dialogue and the idea that his dates end badly even in his fantasies.
