Oh my word there is a Monday comic and it isn't even Monday yet.

I wish that I could be part of a group of "Saturday men".

Man, I can't turn my head without seeing a depiction of dog shooting in the media. And it's always so unrealistic. Nice Pete sees a void and fills the shit out of it. Generally with corpses.

This one left me a little cold, I don't know maybe it's that Nice Pete being in frame meant something creepy was going to happen and now I'm getting used to him? A scary thought by itself.

I would buy a book on country etiquette. It would help when visiting the in-laws in Lynchburg. Even though they are not themselves "country folk," there are enough around to make a knowledge of their foreign ways important.

Some days I don't have much of a sense of humor about serious things.  I read this and just thought "Yes, there's a lot of cruelty to animals out there.  It's not a rare thing at all."  I then paused to try and figure out if the comic were actually implying that the problem is especially inherent to underclass rural Americans, or if it's just about the character Nice Pete thinking his experiences are universal to the country man.  If it's the former, I actually do have a little bit of a problem with the cartoon.

It's like the other days someone said something about Michael Jackson and all I could think was how a brilliantly talented young artist was abused in his childhood and then suffered a horrifyingly public descent into mental illness late in life.  If you pause to not laugh for a minute, it's just tragic.

Aww crap.  I'm like, seven Roast Beefs today.

I may need to spend a weekend or two in Dixie. Too much of Pete's dialogue is going over my head.

The South is amazing.  Liberal southerners are the some of best people in the country.  And with a little practice dealing with some of the foreignness, the good old boys and country folk are rad too.

I'm from Athens, GA and Baton Rouge, so like... bias.

 Incidentally, Nice Pete is from West Virginia which is more Appalachian than southern.  In fact, you could make the argument that WV isn't southern at all given that it seceded from Virginia during the Civil War so that it could remain in the Union.

You also didn't know that the Union was all like "Really?  You're sure you want to break away from the Old Dominion just because of this 'state's rights' jazz?  It's totally fine if you want to stay with Virginia.  Seriously.  We don't mind, and it seems like so much effort.  Please don't put yourself out on our account.  We honestly don't want to trouble you."

But West Virginia did not get the hint.

I once worked a John Denver concert, I needed the money so badly. I was directing people to the right place backstage during the show when an old bird turned and straight up shushed me, finger to the lips and all.

John Denver. Only concert I ever been got shushed at.

Aw, that's kind of sweet.

But yeah, now let's STOP talking about it.
