PA strips that are relevant to PAX or traveling.

I was combing through the archives looking for strips that I could upload to my portable media player in preparation to PAX. Here is what I found so far... and please if you find more, link 'em!

The Zone of Pure Breakfast
A group of us are going to the Original Pancake House on Friday so we can eat some bacon waffles.

Sketchstravaganza
About how Gabe and Tycho fear the disgusting touch of their fans.

Do You Hear What I Hear
Gabe and Tycho hear their airline pilot say something that frightens them.

Nightmare at Twenty-Thousand Feet
About using your DS whilst you are in a plane.

I am Ashamed By Proxy
About waiting in line for a chance to play an awesome game.

I Get Hungry On Occasion
When you stand in line next to someone for hours, your mind begins to wonder about some things...

The Silent Partners
Some exhibitors have business cards...I think.

Red vs Blue vs Decorum
Those dudes will be there...

Wholly True Tales From Comic-Con 2005
How not to get a sketch from Gabe and Tycho.

The Sporting Life
It can be difficult to interact with "normal" people out there in the "real world".

That one is good, especially since I'll be flying from the east coast I will most definitely be using my DS while on the plane.

Peer Into My Crystal Ball
Fan created PAX Strip from last year
(also a link to Gabe's extra doodles)

The Eye of the Beholder
In one of Mike's PAX 2004 banners, Gabe's hand was a little too close to Tycho's, uh area...

Good call! I saw those, but I did not draw the comparison to the Supertrips.

Don't forget about the alternate version of the first panel of "Peer Into My Crystal Ball" which can be seen in the newspostings from the following day: http://www.penny-arcade.com/2006/08/30

I forgot to add this one to my earlier post:

Unique Gifts for the Home
Those Sky Mall catalogs are boss awesome.

Yeah, I had to spend time to find it, but I direct linked it in my post. Thanks!

One of my favourite strips, which is also one I'm having trouble finding, took place before one of the PAXes (I think 2004?), before Gabe's son was born.
In the comic, Gabe and Kara are in a car, and Kara says something along the lines of "I hope I don't have the baby during PAX", Gabe says "Yeah, I'd hate to miss it", and after a beat, Kara asks "You mean, you'd hate to miss PAX, right?"

If that strip exists, the PennyPacker plugin has not tagged it with the words "baby" or "Kara". I just finished searching through all the news posts between the announcement of PAX (March 04) and PAX 04 (August 2004) and there was nothing close to the conversation you described.

There was this: http://www.penny-arcade.com/2004/05/19

In other news, Kara and I found out that we are having a boy. I am actually going to have a son… wow, that feels so weird to say. Little Gabe will be making his way into the world some time around September 28th and I can't wait. I'm super excited to start teaching him how to pee and throw a football. We spent about an hour at the ultrasound place. I honestly don't know how doctors can tell what the fuck is going on by looking at that indecipherable video feed. She kept telling us the baby looked great and everything was normal. I stared at the black and white images with her trying to pick out the things she was showing us. Obviously I'm not a doctor but to me our baby bears a striking resemblance to hammerhead from Star Wars.

I remember the strip. Don't know the year though.

It sounds awful familiar to me, too.

QuizMaster

The more that I think about it, I think the exact words were "I hope I don't go into labor during PAX". Worst case scenario: we'll have to collaborate and collectively redraw the comic from memory.

Sl1pstream

I can do stick figures. Anyone want to do the inking? ;p

mentok1982

Does anyone have more they want to add?

I guarantee you this was an actual comic. One of my faves... now, can I find it?

Moe Fwacky

I found the newspost, but the comic itself is missing from the archives. Anybody else?

edit: I found it by changing the filename while viewing a different strip

I sorta remember the comic but I don't think they were going to PAX just some other con.

Great job Moe! Thanks be to Moe.

Phanman

That would explain why after looking through the archives for a long time that I couldn't find it.

Man that was driving me crazy, thanks Moe.

I wonder how many other lost PA strips there are...

salian

I love this one:



YAY HOOKERS!

Misterioso

wasn't there a strip about all of the pictochat penis doodling on the DS during PAX'06? I can't find it.
