    I love Gabe's frown in the last panel. The teeth crack me up!

    Tycho is a solid uncle.

  • Commander ZoomCommander Zoom Registered User regular
    That's what uncles do.

    That is absolutely the best defence to offer.

    Nobody remembers the singer. The song remains.

    Tycho is the best of uncles.

  • Ryan@Ryan@ Registered User regular
    That *IS* a pretty solid defense.

    Kind of reminds me of a Simpsons quote (then again, there are enough Simpsons quotes that this shouldn't be surprising);
    "But Marge, I swear to you, I never thought you'd find out!"

    Nobody remembers the singer. The song remains.

    Obviously Mike is a great artist, but does anyone else think his characters' posture/body language often look kind of... awkward? Like the last panel. Does he ever practise drawing real people?

    Lil' Gabe is so jazzed about the LARPing. <3

    Want to find me on a gaming service? I'm SwashbucklerXX everywhere.

    No, Lil' Gabe's arms do look kinda thick behind the ears too.

    Of course they do, don't you remember, LARPing puts you in better shape than most other nerds to the point that you can cleanly kick most peoples asses...

    Maybe there was a big time lapse. So this is after 6 months of secret LARPing. And he either did some serious sword swinging, or ate well of the mutton at every opportunity.

    Oh, Tycho. May 25th was a Sunday. You know PA doesn't show up in the Sunday paper.

    Have a new set of prints to purchase to go along with my Lookouts and Daughters group. :smiley:

    Tycho needed one more comment or maybe a different comment in the last panel to suit my meta needs: "Sadly this will decrease your son's final larp grade due to his failure to correctly larp my outline of lies regarding not larping." Do they have larp grades? Is that a thing?

    This is an excellent pay off to this series of strips. However the comments thread for the first part was as funny as the comic itself in a rare double whammy which just made the whole thing that much better. Also I have been that uncle and it is awesome to be called the cool uncle because of it.

    LoL epic payoff to a great little arc here.

    that last panel had me in fucking stitches for.... probably too long this morning when I first read it.

    Larping is far more common than one might suspect.

    In army, you get to larp a protector of freedom and democracy while at common work, church or tax office you get to larp a member of a free society practicing his every day freedoms.

    Whats even funnier, a new level of hardcore mode of this larpping game is now enabled. It unlocks mandatory participations in continuous and ever increasing foreign bank bailouts, accelerating domestic currency depreciation and even longer wars.

    It seems to be getting quite hardcore on some but masses still love this reality larp as if there would be tomorrow. If you Gabe those that larp your representatives among those who larp a government, they Tycho you in instant.
