Title: A screaming clear area with a wig on - March 3 2008

OK, I'll start the thread if no one else is going to, but I have a policy that it's safer not to comment on Nice Pete.

Only women look, like, actually human, dudes look more like... crude but functional devices.

I have no function whatsoever.

Anyway, yes, this strip is creepy as fuck, but in an awesome way.

Post by: elfbabe on March 03, 2008, 04:45:18 pm: I sent a friend a recipe for vaguely Thai-like noodles a little while ago and gave a link to Nice Pete's "cold noodles" blog entry (http://peterhcropes.blogspot.com/2007/11/cold-noodles.html) as a sort of comparison thing. He hadn't read Achewood in a while and never really kept up with the blogs, so he forgot that he was reading the words of a fictional cat and was briefly terrified.

I feel like that right now.

Nice Pete's "cold noodles" blog entry (http://peterhcropes.blogspot.com/2007/11/cold-noodles.html)
Pickled chorizo?

Pickled chorizo?

It was uncanny the first time I read that blog entry, and I'm still baffled by the concept. Is there a jar filled with brine, next to the pickled pigs feet and pickled eggs, with morose lengths of spicy mexican sausage incubating over the passing years, mathematically approaching infinity on the saltiness scale?

Post by: Cap'n Squeakers on March 03, 2008, 10:06:29 pm: Women as horrible screaming voids? Has Nice Pete been reading Dave Sim (http://www.theabsolute.net/misogyny/sim.html)?

"If you look at [a woman] and see anything besides emptiness, fear and emotional hunger, you are looking at the parts of yourself which have been consumed to that point."

This strip seemed pretty good until I read this and remembered how good Achewood could be.

Also, of course it's the correct title, Wombat is the arbiter in these matters.

I'm still waiting to hear Focus on the Family's response to Pete's rejiggering of the Bible to include Ray as savior. I can't believe none of the Republican candidates were ever asked to comment on that.

Post by: littlefallsmets on March 04, 2008, 02:26:26 am: Interestingly, my mental picture of Dave Sim IS Nice Pete, now.

I cannot imagine Cerebus being driven by anyone other than Nice Pete. It's... kinda neat.
