    This comic must construct additional context.

    Well, they discussed what they'd do with the site if Gabe ever died (God forbid) in a podcast from a forgotten era. Bone Thugs N Harmony - Tha Crossroads was suggested.

    I'm sure that Jerry will elaborate tomorrow, but let it be known this was a true, verbatim conversation between the three of us.

    Some guy.

    Were you as disgruntled in real life as you look in the first panel? Because man, that sure is the expression of a guy with a complete dearth of gruntles.

    And is that hoodie in Portland Trailblazers colors just on one sleeve? Or is that something else?

  • Robert KhooRobert Khoo Registered User, ClubPA staff

    That is a bit weird. Looks like the pre-1918 German flag.

    My first thought was the much-coveted N7 hoodies.

    i'm pretty sure that's supposed to be the N7 hoodie.

    and Khoo, if you were really disgruntled, you wouldn't have to lift a finger. hordes of PAX Enforcers would do your will. they all said so.

    Tycho has his finger on a button that shoots Gabe into space. He's going to hire a team of artists, hook them up to a sled and ride them around the north pole, then bring in the Applegeeks guys to do PA (and have Hawk be Little Gabe's new dad).

    love that exchange.

    Tyco: I'd get a team of fucking artists and i'm going to hook them up to a sled and it ride them around the north pole!

    okay @rkhoo just came in to look at his likeness and was not impressed. Changes have been made. NOW I think I nailed it.


    @pvponline says make the face rounder. @rkhoo says face is too round.

    Plus with the DVDs there's commentary tracks on the non-4th Panel episodes, so that's like double podcasts.

    (although I will say more audio-goodness from the crew is always appreciated. I really enjoy listening to old episodes of Downloadable Content, Daily Affirmation, and The Morning After while driving.)

    Did you riff that right off the top of your head too? Jerry has to go back to his library tech support job. Mike "wants [he] should suffer."

    I'm calling the twist right now: Mike actually drove Khoo insane! The assassin they are alluding to is the splinter Khoo personality that simply can-not take it any more.

  • TossrockTossrock too weird to live too rare to dieRegistered User regular
    I dunno about Kal, but I've listened to all the podcasts so many times that I basically have them all memorized. Wizard People, Dear Reader too. Working QA at EA will do that to a man.

    Newspost still didn't really explain anything. I'm assuming they mean similar to how Mike posted the e-mails from the publicity guy previously.

    It's probably that Ocean Marketting guy. Things ended rather abruptly there.

    Has Mr Khoo really shaved his head? Trying to look like Sheperd? ;D

    Oh brilliant
  • fightinfilipinofightinfilipino Angry as Hell #BLMRegistered User regular
    huh, i totally read this comic as having Khoo being the one pissed off at Gabe, and then conspiring with Tycho for a hostile takeover.

    whoooooooops.

    It's on the twitter. Here's a few key excepts:

    "Ill see you all at Pax East !!" -

    "Tell Mike I look forward to meeting him." -

    "the police will not stop me" -

    "you will never spot me I look different" -

    Keep honking: I'm also honking.

    From Gabe's news post:
    To be fair I don’t honestly expect to be killed by a psychopath anytime soon. But the tweets from Mr. Paul Christoforo have certainly been…interesting. I think that anytime someone says they are excited to meet you and that “the police will not stop me.” you should probably pay attention. Honestly as someone who truly enjoys making people angry, the fact that I have now driven another human being to say those words is sort of an achievement.

    Admittedly, it's blown out of proportions, and Christoforo is just being a terrible terrible publicist again, this time for himself.

    "the police wont stop me" conversation goes a little like this:
    PAX:
    @paulchristoforo Ha, yes. You know the mayor and the guy that holds the door. How could we forget? That's fine. Get arrested. See you there?

    Paul:
    @mappum @Official_PAX I have my badge and an escort in and its not the mayor. Educate your self I can not be arrested, dont forget my lawyer

    Paul:
    @Official_PAX Ill never be arrested for coming to the convention center ha. Thats like being banned from a Celtics or redsox game you moron

    PAX ‏ @Official_PAX:
    @paulchristoforo Yes. I am the idiot. You are right. I am *so* stupid. So stupid I couldn't possibly understand what my show is or is not.

    Some Guy:
    @PaulChristoforo @Official_PAX Well, I'm not going to stop you. I'll just be there with a camera for when the police do.

    Paul:
    @mappum @Official_PAX the police will not stop me,Im attending the show and have a few meetings I will be there 1 day and t shirts on sale
    Paul (again)
    @mappum @Official_PAX No one will ever know , besides my tshirts

    Paul (yet again):
    @Official_PAX maybe Ill pull a restraining order on you since your gonna beat me up & have me arrested & get a police escort in to the show

    Paul (oh god, he's WWebsiting!)
    @Official_PAX Im scared for my life showing up there because of your threats that your gonna gang jump me and have me arrested


    Apparently Paul has completely lost touch with reality and doesn't understand the complexities of law. You cannot get a restraining order against someone because they tell you you aren't allowed in their convention. And you can't get one against someone for threatening to call the cops on you.
