Please help me find the PA comic about crystalized tears

BriBin

I simply cannot find this comic through Google or PA search. I believe it was one of the PAX onstage comics and it went basically like this:
Panel 1
An interviewer is talking to Gabe and Tycho and asks them:
Interviewer: "You're both really private people. How do you handle a show like PAX?"
Panel 2
Gabe: "I just close my eyes and try to feel the joy all around me."
Tycho: "I have developed a method of crying that is invisible to the human eye."
Panel 3
Interviewer: "That's incredible. Where do the tears go?"
Tycho: "They crystalize in my abdomen and shred my internal organs."

Any help finding this would be greatly appreciated. We really need a full text search for comics. I can often remember some key words, but since the text isn't indexed I still can't find the comic.

This is a good site for pa comic searches: http://pipefour.org/pa/

It's full text and everything. Give it a shot. I tried a couple searches but couldn't find the one you're referencing.

Thanks; that's a great resource. It doesn't seem to find the comic I'm looking for though. I even went through all the Club PA comics I have and it isn't in there either. Does anyone else remember this one?

Maybe that site hasn't been updated in a while -- the comic was from last February. "penny arcade crystallize" on Google helped lead me to the strip in question.

You are my hero. Thank you so much for finding this. It looks like I was off on the text just enough not to find it.

yeah pipefour seems to have stopped indexing in early 2015

which is sad

and the main archives did get a comprehensive keywording at one point but it doesn't seem like that's being kept up either
