It looks like Nice Pete's new pomade and muttonchop combo lasts.

Link.

I know it's basically an achewood cliche by now but two panels of silence and then 'Of course' is still hilarious to me.

The bit with the dog is just icing.

That is not a cliche. It is a motif, a recurring theme, a literary device.

I do not wish for Nice Pete to earn my dog's respect. Please?

[Doc]

Alas I think Nice Pete is the type of serial killer that has a natural rapport with animals.

I just noticed that the second fold spells 'Barney' up the top. I like to think this is the dog's name.

Is that supposed to be George W. Bush playing with his dog?

Astute observation. In AcheWorld, President Bush and Barney are on the $2 bill.

I prefer to think it's a real two-dollar bill, and Nice Pete has just found a very clever way of folding it.

The two panels of silence are Nice Pete doing a slow burn because he is offended that Lyle thinks he wouldn't know about the twin towers money folding thing.

Exactly. Trying to tell Nice Pete about something like that is like telling Bobby about some new bacon product you've encountered.

Although your tally will only register one additional "tiny can of dr pepper," the one I just gave you is fourteen feet tall, carved of marble and ornamented with gold leaf.

I think the pauses just signify the effort NP has to go through to communicate with another person.

Don't think I haven't considered Taking all of you after hearing about the latest LOLbacon product for the umpteenth time. Trust me, it's the first and second thing that goes through my mind.

How dare people think that someone who loves bacon might be interested in hearing about a new bacon related thing.

How dare people think that someone who loves bacon might be interested in hearing about a new bacon related thing. 

Comedians love jokes. They don't love you telling them jokes they've already heard.

Musicians love music. They don't love people walking up to them and singing, off-key, key parts of their own songs.

Authors love to write. They don't love people suggesting new and interesting things to write, "fanfiction style."

There is literally nothing bacon-related that I am not already aware of, especially in a day and age of increased bacon awareness; in a day and age when Salon devotes an entire week to bacon-related articles. My bacon net has already funnelled in key bacon intelligence into my bacon espionage machine.

The irony of course being that I do not like bacon. The whole point of the original Baco de Mayo was that we had a bunch of bacon left over, because our bacon needs are relatively small. The ludicrous proposition of having all that bacon that we would otherwise not have eaten cooked at once lead to the premise for the party. The entire endeavour is both ironic and satirical.

Now, I am always open to anything involving new and exciting ways to roast or grill lamb.

[wombat]

WTF! You don't like bacon? How could anyone not like bacon?

Hey, maybe I could interest you in these jars of Bacon Salt that I've got then - because they don't taste a damned bit like bacon.
