i'm not gonna lie, i might consider buying a guide to parenting book written by Tycho and illustrated by Gabe.

That's actually... that's actually a pretty wonderful idea.

just with children instead of spies

I never know how to answer the last one.

Abracadaniel

Follow your heart.

Melding

ABAB is generally my answer.

You managed to get him on the surf board, to not kill him would be the real crime.

Fiz

The beach is the only one where I say it isn't appropriate. That guy is steering the surfboard! The Wedding one is actually from the pilot of Bitch Hunter, so we all know how things play out there.

I get the feeling that Gabe stole those outdoor clothes from Kara. A good wife would never let her husband own something like that.

That comic is like in my top 5 favorites. I don't even know what my top 5 are but it seems like it would be there.

carrot cake soup

found cake

cold placenta sandwiches

homily

YOU ARE SEARED


probably my top five, no particular order

Willeth

Was carrot cake soup a comic? I thought it was a news post.

Also we made carrot cake soup last year. We ended up having to serve it in cups and it was kinda dry, but I think we may not have got decent cake.

SabreMau

And because the newspost for that day is old enough that it isn't on the site, a repost:

Originally posted by Tycho on January 14th 2002

Long story short, I'm getting my chicken soup on, it's Sunday afternoon, and Gabe's reading some Preacher in the Den, which is also the living room, the bathroom, and the foyer. I am interacting with pasta dough in what I think is a stern way, when I hear him say that he might like the soup better if it were, in fact, carrot cake. It hits us, hits us both, simultaneously, like a semi made out of lightning which is also a professional boxer. Carrot Cake Soup. You cube the carrot cake, some pieces have frosting and some don't, and you put a handful of these chunks into a bowl full of milk. So let's go do it. We'll do it later this week, he says. But I know that's the same as not doing it. Why not now, I say? I know a store where we can get all the stuff. You can just buy it, the way you can buy stuff in the household cleaners section and make a bomb big enough to kill God. The stuff is just lying around there and nobody's doing anything with it. It's not a crime to buy them separately, and what we do at home isn't any of their fucking business.

I think someone might have been following us as we pulled into the parking lot, we walked toward the grocery store and tried to keep the conversation natural. We certainly didn't discuss carrot cake or the soup one might make by cutting it into cubes and swimming islands of it in cold milk, pleasure islands, like you'd see in a magazine. At the bakery counter, a woman asks if she can help me, and I'm so nervous that as I'm pointing to the carrot cake behind the glass, my finger starts to tap in Morse Code that reads:

I AM ABOUT TO COMMIT A CRIME AGAINST GOD AND MAN STOP

And where is Gabe with that Goddamn milk? There he is, in the self-checkout. Idiot. There's cameras all over that thing, it's like a Goddamn surveillance tree. It doesn't take a genius to put two and two together. A red light flashes on, and off in my mind. At another checkstand, I pay with untraceable cash, assuring the woman that I will eat the cake by myself, without assistance from cows. I smirk. This woman has no idea that she's just sold me the trigger to a flavor gun. Carrot Cake Soup is like the taste of watching girls make out. It has an extraordinary power that oscillates between gentle and overwhelming, between light and dark, between pleasure and more pleasure. When it was over, I realized that I was panting. I was in possession of carnal knowledge. And I knew that, somehow, every taste beyond this point was in the service of the one that still lingered, waited, to remind me that nature has laws, and those that break them are criminals, and though they roam free enough the knowing will hold them, and keep them, until the last.

(CW)TB out.

Willeth

Oh, I've pretty much committed that post to memory. I just forgot about the comic itself. :P

Also on a quick search I found a post where Gabe rants about the N-Gage. I should do this more often. Tomorrow I'm actually going to delve into the anniversary book proper.

Fucking brilliant.

wait


i don't understand this comic

gabe is wearing shorts and a wifebeater in the first panel

and in the second one he's wearing his regular clothes

also in the second panel, all the tools are obvious except for the one that appears to just be a stick
this is confusing
why is there one that's just a stick in there? what's the significance of it? I'm tired of mistakes like this where they include stuff that's irrelevant or misleading

It's the handle of a pitchfork. Pointed down for safety.

UnbreakableVow

So glad they're back to actual comics now

I like this one

Blake T

It amuses me how skinny gabe's legs are.

Man that's one of those rare comics where I absolutely do not understand the joke, and I know if someone explains it to me i'll just end up hating it.

I should buy a print of it.

Also today's comic is brilliant, those outfits.

Abracadaniel

BrotherVoodoo has elected to keep his retort to my cutting wit private, but let us just say

He was displeased with my humor, and advised me to cease and desist in all fellations of Gabe and Tycho.

god this is such a dad comic

guess I need to impregnate a girl in order to understand it

Fucking tools. I didn't like Lookouts not because it wasn't about videogames, but because it sucked. Because it tried to be all cutesy. The tinker stole the apple but the jester paid the due. God damn is that awful.

By the way they are completely capable of making good comics that aren't about videogames as Automata proved.

Sorry some of you fucks can't see anything they do as being bad. Surprised you can see the message boards with their balls draped over your fucking eyes.

Abracadaniel

Oh noooo

It would probably be easier for us to have seen how bad it was if they had done a better job of setting up their lack of talent earlier on in their career. As it is, their badness and their balls in my eyes just doesn't make any sense.

Don't ruin it for me :P

As far as I know he's angry and thoughtful in the 2nd panel, then he tells his kid he's got two penises.

Except he's not angry and thoughtful so much as looking around to make sure no one else can hear him.

really? angry and thoughtful? I always thought he was contemplating the cruelness of existence. How when asked a question by his son, he feels nothing and everything all at once. I thought it was a comment on how society treats our senses like cheap whores, there but for the pleasing of fat cat cocks

or that he was checking if anyone else was nearby

Abracadaniel

yeah sorry, I missed the angry part, yeah he's just checking to see if anybody else is within earshot

had to shift Gabe and Tycho's balls out of the way to see it.

Speed Racer

My favorite part of that comic is how happy is son is to learn this fact.

Wimble

so Tycho is still wearing a sweater, right?

I am uncomfortable just looking at him

Wow I was wrong, it's funnier now I know

Just ordered a print, and that Splendid Magic book.

I still think that's a frown in the 2nd panel though
