    Yeah, but it will be 1000x funnier if you edit Gabe out of every frame.

    Now this is a proper guest strip. Fox Trot was/is great.

    Forget Watterson, let's get Larson.

    My newpaper did a swap of a bunch of comics a while ago. Among the changes was dropping Family Circus and picking up Pearls Before Swine. I consider that a direct apology.

    Man, awesome. Is this like, the first guest strip they've had other than the one that caused so much stir?

    Foxtrot is great.

    I also love Get Fuzzy.

    I used to love Bizarro before Piraro got really preachy. Haven't read it in a while. Maybe he's regained his composure with the new administration. I also went to school with his daughter. She was in my French class.

    his style is manyfold; he handled cartoon and realism masterfully, and he had the same sort of love affair with words that tycho does

    so I respectfully disagree

    PAX Swine Flu Outbreak Soars to Nearly 100 Cases of ‘H1Nerd1′
    With sick gamers documenting their illnesses on Twitter, the organizers of last weekend’s Penny Arcade Expo are urging everyone who attended to take an apparent swine flu outbreak seriously.

    PAX organizers say they have confirmed nearly 100 cases of H1N1 virus infections, or swine flu, in the wake of the Seattle videogame convention, which drew approximately 75,000 gamers to the Washington State Convention and Trade Center between Sept. 4 and 6.

    so I respectfully disagree

    oh I don't think it'd be like, beyond his capabilities

    I just don't think it'd be something he'd normally do; Calvin and Hobbes was ultimately whimsical, whereas Penny Arcade has always indulged in the crass and physical. Could Watterson execute something with incredible mastery and subtle wit? Of course. Would he want to do it about two guys who play video games? I don't think so. Of course, if he did make a comic for Penny Arcade, I think it would be brilliant, but probably more in the vein of this (aka a pretty major departure for PA) than this

    Every time I try to explain this better I start writing words like 'floating' and 'airy' and then 'solid' and 'bright' which aren't really helpful at all! What is wrong with you, brain.

    but not every PA strip is crass, and watterson could totally do the whole breathtaking artwork + funny twist at the end that I think would be perfect for PA too
