I disagree fully. Nice Pete only kills when he has a reason. Or when there are children to go into a box.

you sure?
Welp it was nice meeting you Nathan, say hello to Trouble Man and No-No on your way up.

I don't know what is worse about the impending outcome, the murder, or that the night's events will cement Teodor's status as 'Nice Pete's Friend'.

I came here to laugh at you.
I think Teodor might find himself in a repeat of the situation in which he first met Rod Huggins. Only this time, leaving will only earn him the respect of Circus Penis if he survives.

If you are old and are eating at a Denny's alone in the middle of the night I do not think there is a long chain of happy moments leading up to that meal.

Nobody goes "boy, I've had a long, fulfilling day, full of good times and happy occassions, lets go to Denny's at 2am alone and order a cheeseburger with no fries."

The hostess looking out the window and seeing a battered, bruised and bleeding naked Teodor slumped against the van window must have been a horrible mindfuck.

But then again, she does work at Denny's so.... welp.

Anybody who does anything on TV in the morning most definitely doesn't get watched by me. And is there anything less useful than a Portland weather report? It's raining. I have a window.

So, yeah, a coincidence. Pete thought these names just sounded like generic Americana, like guys who would know the Hardy Boys.

Does anyone else get a 'this could be the end of Achewood' vibe from this arc? I really can't see how we can go back to light-hearted strips about baby otters or cat bros after this. I'm also slightly concerned that Onstad may be in the midst of a nervous breakdown.

Hey, we've had Nice Pete nightmare arcs before (like the one about the secret ice cream shop). Just because we're deep in the mouth of madness doesn't mean we can't just hop right back to the usual light-hearted japery after this is done.

Dogg, just relax. Achewood shifts tone every now and again, no big thing. Remember the Cartilage Head arc?

STAY UNRULY, YOU HEARTLESS MONSTERS!
Achewood will not end until we get to the arc where Ray and Beef have to travel to parallel universes to stop Lonis F. Edison, who suddenly returns and tries to take over the Multiverse by turning all the secondary and incidental characters into vampires. This leads to Heartfelt Drama and Emotions.

In the middle of the arc there are a few pure-text updates where Onstad explains his newfound faith in a form of Islam of his own devising, and he lectures the reader at length about gender roles and the proper way to prepare stuffed eggplant.

If it's anything like Nice Pete's recipie for fried chicken, I think it'd be worth it.

Remember the time when Nice Pete kidnapped Philippe and took him to a run-down ice cream shop in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night?
