    the true betrayal is having Tycho read Fifty Shades of Grey

    Tycho is masochist. He knows that it's painful and he knows that it's trash, but it's like a trainwreck, he can't look away.

    Tycho with his glass of whiskey, his comfy chair and his trashy literature. A truer gentleman there never was.

    I didn't even notice that until you mentioned it.

    Maybe it's a coping mechanism to get over the Somali torture?

    I almost thought you could have tossed in a Rikimaru joke with that strip name.

    I read this book and it's sequel out aloud to my wife.

    I could barely get through it.

    Gilbert Gottfried is the only audiobook narrator you need.
    Potentially NSFW for reading excerpts from Fifty Shades of Grey

    I imagine that Tycho's reading a special version of Fifty Shades where the characters are replaced by animals.

    Also my assistant, who is super into those books, tells me that they have finished casting for a Fifty Shades movie... How? Isn't it just bdsm porn? How're you going to play that in a non-porno theater, and do PeeWee Herman slap houses still exist?

    Gilbert Gottfried's got nothing on Charles Dance

    Great strip.

    But they're missing the word "to" in the 2nd panel, bottom speech bubble.

    i like this one. it seems to represent a return to form in some ways. reminds me of the pacing of older stuff:

    There's a horse version, Fifty Shades of Dray.

    And the sealife version, Fifty Shades of Ray.

    And the inevitable sequel staring Bob Barker, Fifty Shades of Spay.

    ha! The book he's reading was my favourite part. A joke inside a joke. I just had to comment on it.

    Errr, what's going on here? Was this supposed to be Monday's comic or something? Will the Tychpo be fixed before it becomes a real comic?
    And "apparently not," to my last question.

    Did this have to happen.

    Surprised that more people haven't been talking about their MOBA preference, is it still a controversial topic or are people ok with liking one over another yet?

    We had a brief kerfuffle in the fake post of this comic, in which I questioned what crazy person might leave LoL for DOTA2, at which point a DOTA2 advocate suggested anyone realizing that DOTA2 was the better game would do so.

    There's just no real joy in it, though.

    What is this I don't even.

    Still not fixed.

    Do I have to point it out on Twitter or something?

    I'm happy to see Dota getting some attention from Penny Arcade.

    Many Tychpos are eternal.

    I thought the timing of this comic was interesting. Even though I have had the beta for well over two years, I just picked up DOTA 2 about 2 weeks before The International started. I'm really enjoying the game now and prefer it over League of Legends, which I played for quite a long time.

    I thought the Grand Finals at TI3 this last weekend was spellbinding. This game is red-hot right now.

    Yeah, see it was a joke about trying something once just to see what all the fuss is about and getting sucked in.
