Nice Pete in Hell strikes me as being a bit redundant.  The creepiness of the character and the setting would just blend together without any obvious straight guy to make it stand out.  There's also the issue that if Nice Pete dies and the story follows him into the afterlife, there eventually has to be a way for him to come back.  No way are Ray and Téodor gonna bring a convicted mass murderer in for Dr. Andretti to fix up; there'd be too many awkward questions they'd have to answer.  Even if Ray were to pull his clout with the police like when he hired him to perform as the Death Sound, Nice Pete would still wind up incarcerated again after he got better.  I'm sure Onstad could write his way out of it somehow, but I think it would be more interesting to see how all the other characters try to deal with this anyway, and Nice Pete's actually dying wouldn't really add much to that versus his just being wounded.

To get back from Hell you only need a Friendly's.

Yeah, I suppose that's true, and Todd managed without even that.  I still think Nice Pete going to Hell would be less interesting than it sounds, though.  At least if he went to Heaven he could hang out with Trouble Man and No-No.

Lots of deaths lately, between Todd and (maybe) NP. Who's next? Is Todd coming back?

I'm wondering why NP is looking for a red light on the business end of the unit, because it would be obscured by the victim.

I also wanted to see how NP would word the death propositions.

NP had the "psycho killer" lobe of his brain destroyed by the knife. He will now be know start acting like Ned Flanders. But people will call him Mean Pete.

Guess this explains what the belt is for.  The whole device is to be strapped to the victim.

I found this strip disconcerting.

I can't imagine that would've killed NP. I just hope that someone finds them in time, otherwise Teodor and Ray are going to die of dehydration and join Pete in Hell.

At which point NP would be a boon, since commissioning the murder act would send them back to earth lickety-split.

ok, two things:

the front lobe of the brain, if removed, either removes your drive and personality, or your human restraint. I will check this when I am in my room and have that book.

the red light is -for- the victim. To Nice Pete, the red light is necessary.

Removing your right frontal lobe, especially, limits your ability to Gage your behavior's conformance to norms.
