The New Comic Thread for Monday, December 27th

The Dude With Herpes

Man, if there ever was a comic I wanted a 4th panel for... I'd love to hear the conversation that went into this one.

The Otaku Suppository

DAMN YOU TDOT

The Dude With Herpes

I'm not TDOT. I'm TDWH

Lucky Cynic

Man, PA is really starting to get political.

First the god jab and now this right hook. I'm liking this. :^:

SAME DIFFERENCE

Josiah_9

This is a good comic

Supraluminal

Man, G&T are throwing out all their comic-making taboos lately. Wonder what's gotten into them!

Barcardi

Fucking Spokane.

You guys should fight.

Silas Brown

That's crazy how Gabe's teeth change shape to match his mouth. If his mouth is curled, his teeth curl along the same line. If his mouth is straight, his teeth become rigid.

Yours don't?

You should probably get that checked out.

Darmak

meh

vsove

Birthday comic!

I wish I had someone on whom I could blame all ills.

Gaslight

This makes me nervous, especially considering what Mike and Jerry have said about why they don't do political humor in the past.

Some of us look to PA as a haven from this sort of real-world shit. Please guys, just stick with vidya game and wang jokes.

Blame the Batarians. You can do that.

KalTorak

These last two comics have been really tightly executed. Simple, well-crafted, no frills jokes.

Romanian My Escutcheon

crwth is SE++'s Obama.

As7

Penny Arcade has never shied away from offending people of all sorts, now and again, dunno why politics should be any different. As a percentage of the comics they've put out, politics and religion are a pretty small percentage of the topics they cover.

Iolo

Political comic. Very rare. Possibly dangerous.

KALTORAK used ULTRA BALL!

Uriel

I like this comic. :^:

But then I am a fan of The Daily Show so what do I know about politics.

KalTorak

Also I find it very amusing that they seem to be walking past their neighborhood "Shits & Giggles" shop.

The Dude With Herpes

Maybe its because I watch too much Daily Show but its hard for me to really think of this as a political comic.

I mean, the extent at which some people blame any and all problems on Obama is a complete joke. It's not a political perspective, its simply pointing out that some people are incredibly stupid.

Which PA does all the time.

Romanian My Escutcheon

This isn't a political comic.

This is a comic about stupid people.

The difference is that one is a noble pursuit and the other one is a political comic.

Uriel

I tried watching fox news and I agree with this comic.

They would blame the law of gravity on obama if they could.

Well, PA is already part of the liberal media.

I mean, look at that Thor comic we had last Monday.

Xehalus

The greatest political/not-political comic I've ever read.

KalTorak

Look, it's not that difficult. All the country's problem's are Obama's fault, and can be solved by buying gold.

I dont know why but I find this incredibly awesome.

Romanian My Escutcheon

Why am I not surprised that the guys who are sporting Confederate flags on their home page don't comprehend sarcasm?

NotASenator

Speaking of political comics, one of my favorite sites is updating again:

facetious

Please tell me that's ironic, NAS.

and/or posting these cartoons to laugh at them.

NotASenator

Yeah, it's just cataloging them, basically to show how dumb and unoriginal political cartoonists are.

facetious

Okay, phew.

Gyral

God, I actually got a slice of this for Christmas. Went to spend Christmas Day with my future in-laws. Instead of watching A Christmas Story, Muppets Christmas Carol or one of the many thousands of Christmas specials what do watch for hours? FOX fucking News.

Ugh.

MKR

I wish the average person knew the difference between weather and climate. Life would be much easier.

Speed Racer

I haven't been made to actually watch fox news

but I have had my fair share of racisms

At least there's this one:

zombiefriend

I wouldn't worry about political jokes from PA. It looks more like a joke on being forced to watch news with the parents, and who on Earth wants to do that?

Still, a fourth panel on this would be funny. Especially a fourth panel on the "religion" strip.

It depends on the observer. If you believe it's the latter, then that's also making it the former as well. Especially as the thread is going.
