I would love a longer version of meetings like this.
Scott saying "PvP is going stale" when "2011 is a 'make it' or 'break it' year for PvP" has all the makings of a great reality show of its own. He's right though, when I read his strip I feel like it's the last season of a TV show.
edit: Didn't they announce that the four of them were making another comic strip anyway (that looked a lot like PvP)...

I started reading PvP because I like what Scott produces rather than the other way around. It's still good, but it's by far the thing I get the least value from from him.
It was interesting hearing him talk on Webcomics Weekly about new projects a few weeks ago. Dave started a new strip, Kris has got one in the works, and Scott's extolling the virtues of doing so while still sticking by PvP. I think the reason it might feel stale is that the universe is just a little too real - it's a cartoon that could only exist on the Internet but it sticks to a lot of the old newspaper cartoon tropes and doesn't deviate too far. I think making the LOLbat part of PvP proper was a great move, and I think that stuff really breathes life into it.
tl;dr - can't wait for The Trenches

What I hear you saying is that PvP got better when it stopped being about the cast of PvP and focused on a new characer called lolbat. If that's the case why not end PvP and make a new strip called LolBat?

Eh, no. LOLbat itself isn't the thing. It's about making the PvP universe a little more fast and loose.
I like the characters but everything is always so straight-laced.

I've never really liked PvP
I think it's because I've never really bought into the idea that characters of a four panel daily strip can develop into characters I care about beyond being a vehicle for jokes
I had the same problem with Starslip after a while, but it still managed to be funny on a daily basis

Fourth panel is by far my favorite PA tvs.
I read PvP for a while but it just felt too much like a crappy sitcom after a while. I started expecting laugh tracks or something equally dumb from it.
Haha, that reminds me of when I was in college/just out of college. When I'd hang out with friends, invariably a tennis ball, or stress ball or something would turn up and it would just get tossed around the room as we talked, with pauses to shame whoever fucked up a throw or catch.
I also really enjoy Kurtz's commentary (especially when he's partnered with Kris) more than I do his comic particularly — I wish they were more consistent about producing Morning After (which seems to have lapsed at this point) or Webcomics Weekly, but it's free so I'll take what I can get.
What is the latest on The Trenches after all? It seems from this video that collaborative writing between the two duos is still a relatively new thing so I hope it's not too far off. And season two of the Blams!

Last line of this ep really made me giggle
They were going to pretty recently. It was called The Morning After. Not sure what happened to it.
There's a ton of old shows available online, though.

They stream a bunch during the week.
Unfortunately it's usually during the workday
And ya, there's also the Morning After
