[PA Comic] Monday, July 16, 2012 - Mahou Hime Ganbaru
And after I decided that I wasn't sure, I went to wondering why they always seem to draw conventions as having red backgrounds. Is there always red lighting around their table?

I think it represents the accumulated body heat of 50,000 nerds.
Have to say, I'm quite disappointed. I mean, a DSi instead of a 3DS?

Am I the only person speculating that this comic might just be an evil plot to send readers on a wild goose chase due to a reference to a piece of culture that simply does not exist?
The closest thing I found was the kids show "Adventure time", which has a Princess Bubblegum character, but as far as I can tell no wizard school, Yummy-Chan or paedophilia appeal.
Man, I just thought this one was bad, and bad in a really obvious way that you don't normally see PA strips falling into. What's the actual joke, here? Anime is for pedophiles? Tycho (Jerry?) is Alpha Nerding about stuff? Comic conventions are weird? At best the joke seems unfunny or at least uninspired. At worst there's nothing here but an insult to people that have a different definition of 'fun' than is normal, and as nerds you would think we would want to make a habit of being a little more tolerant than this.

Either you're unfamiliar with cosplay, anime, or you're the butt of the joke.

Mike and Jerry do in fact watch anime. Shocking. The joke is shows like that are either for kids or people who want to do horrible things to kids( which is disturbingly accurate given the state of anime today). It's not knocking cosplay.
Also That is 100% gabe.
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
I came for the comics. I stayed for the offended loli-fan outrage.
This ranks up there with the ones running to the defense of that TERA MMO with the sexualized loli race where they actually had to remove some of the 'clothing' items for the western market.
'They have animal ears! It's not even a child because it's not human!'
I know it's supposed to be; but the fact you can't be absolutely immediately certain just by looking allows me to imagine the possibility that this is just some entirely random person accosting Jerry at the booth about his/her cosplay, and Jerry is being a dick to him/her in response, and that vision of the comic is much funnier to me.

I made this account to give my opinion on this comic, I know how opinions work on the internet so brace yourself for this.
This comic is about bronies.
I see it, but I don't think they had that intention.
I mean, I took the joke as "why would a grown man be watching a (potentially obscure) cartoon blatantly directed to young children," which isn't a bad joke.

It's a school for wizards, with that (presumably) as a uniform.
So like, Harry Potter porn?

Etrian Odyssey 4 isn't out yet. Why bother?
I didn't realize they were doing THAT bad, even after that kickstarter.
RIP Penny Arcade
Actually, Mr. Invader might work too.

I' m torn here because Bizzare Jelly from No more heroes IS basically thinly veiled porn. So I don't know if you're being clever here or what
Poe's law strikes again!
Well, it's anime stuff.

Actually, that isn't even a DSi, as DSi's don't have the logo on top. That looks more like a DS Lite.
lolwut?
If on the internet you struggle to decipher whether a poster is clever or a fucking retard, it's probably most accurate to assume the latter.
Either you're unfamiliar with cosplay, anime, or you're the butt of the joke.

This. So much this. I do hope this stirs up a nest of rabid loli lovers. The nerd rage will be exquisite.
YES. :^:
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
This is obviously sarcasm.
you should see the post over on r/anime on reddit. So many pitchforks .

oh now it makes sense, trolling at its finest.

Delicious.

Link. Watching people do mental backflips to defend this stuff is always a source of infinite entertainment to me.

I'm with Gaslight on this.

... My, what a boring Signature.
