Let me stake out my position, and feel free to respond:
I am blown away by this series.
Beautiful art. An incredible plot. A soundtrack that inspires fist raising. The essence of a great 80s film.
At the end of this arc, I am going to buy every strip, mount them, frame them, and hang them on the wall of my office (next to the Tycho, Gabe, and Fruit Fucker at the Beach poster) for all to see.
I've always loved this comic when the guys have taken it to new and artistically interesting places - the Samurai sagas, etc. - but this is an entirely new creative level. I can see this film in my mind, clear as if it was on the scratchy screen at the Tally Ho cinema down the road, popcorn in hand.
It truly is an epic moment in the history of PA. Years from now, bards will construct complex songs with as-yet-uninvented instruments to regale the alien hordes that have enslaved our planet with lyrical melodies on courage, patriotism, and the love forged in rocket fire.
I only wish I could buy Paint The Line 2 gear to wear to see Hellboy 2 and Dark Knight.
(New thread, since I feel this is a big enough topic to not get caught up in just the New Comic thread - feel free to move it admins.)

whoops, looks like you jumped the gun
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
That's disturbing.
That honest to God broke me for a few seconds.... just trying to process what I was reading.
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
To be fair, it looks like a decent train setup.
trent you might be the only person attempting to turn himself into an image macro that is actually entitled to do so
because I know a guy who actually believes that shit
also that the magnetic poles are reversing
and global warming is perfectly natural
and the government is going to implant tracking chips in all of us so they can monitor our every movement
It must be wonderful to be crazy.
My skeptical brain actually wants to post all the proof and reasoning against all of those things, but I won't because I don't hate you all.
My dad believes this
It took quite a bit of resolve to not laugh in the poor guy's face, and I'm not that big of an asshole
he just kept going on and on and I was like what
Oh god.
Assume, for just a minute, that there was any kind of rational way to produce and secretly distribute 300 million tracking chips, the cost would be so outrageous that it's almost laughable.
No, you should laugh, so he realizes how dumb he sounds, and then explain it to him. Because he's going to be peddling his pseudo-science to someone else soon.
I work with this person
He refuses to own a cellphone or have cable TV or even fuel injection and loves to talk about the end of the world and the government's conspiracies
It's very creepy
Sounds like somebody hasn't gotten his yet. Be jealous.
I would, but he is super-religious and I think this is the reason he believes a lot of this crap. And honestly I am terrible at proving points so I would just look like an ass.
surprisingly it took him half the semester to get to 9/11, but along the way we learned that car companies purposefully made cars that would break apart so that you'd buy a new one, the government wouldn't make roads that would last forever even though they totally could because then they couldn't spend YOUR HARD-EARNED TAX DOLLARS on construction workers and that digital television is never going to last
when he started talking about how a plane couldn't hit the pentagon because every building in DC has anti-aircraft guns on talk, half the class walked out and I don't think he noticed
"Well I don't really like dick. Well, I've never tried it, but I'm not really turned on by it. You know what, you're right, I should be more open minded."
also his reasoning for this was "HEY MY DRIVEWAY WILL LAST FOREVER WHY CAN'T THEY PUT THAT SHIT ON THE HIGHWAY"
well there are about a thousand reasons why that doesn't- "SOME GUY ON THE RADIO WHO HAS A DRIVEWAY TOLD ME THAT THE GOVERNMENT DOES THIS"
well... theoretically now.... if they had developed some kind of super wide band RFID system. The chips would be small enough in both size AND cost to make it at least somewhat feasible.
kinda.
how many people drive across his driveway each day?
how do they distribute them?
that was basically the point I never bothered making because it wouldn't matter at all
flu shots and vaccinations... obviously
