    Gotta love Gabe rockin' the long sleeves to hide his tats.

    Garry: I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time I'd rather not spend the rest of the winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!

    His dad's first point ain't wrong.

    This comic exists in a weird, self referential paradox.

    There is no comic about how Destiny's daily quest areas require the new DLC... except for this comic itself. And this comic references the Destiny DLC comic in the past tense, as if the comic had already been drawn.

    So.

    This comic is self referential in the past tense, simultaneous to the moment in which it is happening. The events of this comic exist both in the present and the past at the same time.

    Penny Arcade rarely keeps continuity, internally or otherwise.

    I just noticed that Gabe's father also appears to have face tentacles.

    This comic reminds me that I need to cut my hair.

    I'm fairly certain that in a couple more months I could go to a comicon cosplaying as Eugene from Walking Dead.

    I actually went back through a couple weeks of comics to see if there was one I somehow missed or I had simply forgotten about such a comic existing. Clearly this was all part of an elaborate scheme to get more page hits.

    Obviously the Vex are at work here.

    And how Gabe's Dad probably looks like Mike's Dad, and not remotely like Gabe :P

    Oh brilliant

    I'd love it if, in the next comic whatever it be, Gabe totally did have a haircut with no other explanation. Not just any haircut either, a full on buzz cut. Or Cornrows.

    Badges? We don't need no stinking badges. (Pinny Arcade digital lanyard. Trade with me!)
    Only a mere 136 pins to go!
