Confused about the latest PA comic

I'm not following it, what the fuck is he talking about? :x

Is he saying this website is stealing his work? If so, I don't see how. I followed the other shit about that Goldman guy, but what's this?

    It's a reference to an older storyline which starts here. No one stole G&T's work, so far as I know.

    Put simply, Franzibald is a fictional character, who plagiarizes from Tycho in a few PA comics. In this case, it's topical because of the Goldman/Kerry thing.

    Wasn't Franzibald a subtle rip on TIm Buckley, at least in appearence? Not his work of course CAD rules just as much as PA

    Yes and no, respectively.

    Why is there a wiki dedicated to this comic then, why did Tycho even make it up?

    The wiki is dedicated to--and exists to flesh out--the metafictional Elemenstor Cycle, which I imagine Tycho made up because it is highly amusing.
