I... like the magic realism arcs? A lot? One of my favorite parts of the strip? I like that we've had a few lately? I like the extended storylines whose content per strip made up for their sporadic posts? I like that it still manages a roughly 3-days-of-the-week update schedule even if regularity has become an issue (at least I have MSPaint Adventures for regularity)?

Maybe I'm just weird.

It's okay, I'm a freak/mindless fan that's obviously blind to all of the horrible, horrible parts of this comic too. :unsmith:

The one time I tried to make fried chicken at home the house filled up with smoke and everything smelled delicious for the next few days.

I've been banned from cooking it ever again. :(

This is me every time I have to go into a Michael's or Jo-Ann's Fabrics. Also every time I read this I have to Google who Wallace Shawn is. It's like a second punchline, or third if you count alt text.

I've been inside a bead shop. It really is that :geno:

That's the great thing about how Onstad writes Nice Pete. He doesn't always have to talk about killing to be creepy. Just simple things make him seem off.

The one about him trying out a new diner had me at the edge of my seat. :ohdear:

Phillipe's rich, and I'm pretty sure with Ray's help he can become comically rich. The little kid can take a jet plane every day to visit Achewood only to head back home for bedtime.

My parents are in their 60's and it breaks my heart every time I see my Mom use a cane.

But even then I can't tell if it's "Philipe's Mom is getting old" or "Philipe has learned an important lesson about going home".

It has been years since I experienced the awkwardness of visiting an elderly relative with no clear idea of what constitutes entertainment or, indeed, nourishment. The last few sad strips have been absolutely true to those times.

Never before have I realized how great my dear departed Grandma was. Yes, she was an old woman who couldn't cook. Yes her house was covered in creepy dolls and furniture you couldn't touch.

But she was smart enough to buy a motherfucking Master System as soon as her grandkids were old enough to play it.

I had a bizarre twist in my coming home story.

Both my parents worked long hours when I was little so food was always sub-par. My childhood was filled with runny boxes of mac and cheese, painfully dry pork chops, and tasteless vegetables.

I had to move back home after I was laid off only to find that my Mom had transformed into a good cook. The first night back she made quiche! The best quiche I had ever eaten! This is the same woman that once burned spaghetti!

To this day I still don't know what the gently caress :psyduck:

I think I'd be okay with Cornelius or Roast Beef, really. Beef I'd just direct towards my couch and we can talk in the morning; Cornelius... I have no idea, but I'd do my best to wake up and pay attention to whatever he wants to say to me.

Cornelius understands the importance of a full night's rest. He wouldn't wake up you up at 2am unless it's "house is on fire" important. That's the kind of guy I want to room with.

My favorite thing about the Pat/Nice Pete relationship was that despite Pat being quite correctly intimidated and freaked by Pete at first, within a few weeks his natural "Pat"ness had reasserted itself and he was acting like a total douche towards Pete and arguing with him and insulting him.

I honestly think Pat's friendship(?) with Nice Pete is the only thing keeping Nice Pete in check. Maybe he needs a roommate rear end in a top hat who's boyfriend can keep him supplied with good food.

I love how we all enjoy the gentle ramblings of a creepy serial killer. Thats how well written this webcomic is.

Never start at the beginning.

Start with the arc of Ray going to Hell, or Phillippe trying to find the brown couch.

Brown couch might be a good bet since it introduces you to Phillipe and the strangeness in their life (I have airwolf)

Last night, I experienced the first nightmare I've ever had from a film I have never seen. Just reading the Wiki entry and seeing a still shot or two were enough to disturb my subconscious. There's no way in hell I will ever watch this film short of being strapped down "Clockwork Orange" style.

I had a nightmare from a vague description one of my friends told me. I think it's a new record for scaredy-cat.

I find the best way to hook my 'real life' friends is to simply hand them the first book. Beyond that I'm at a loss. :smith:
