Looking for a specific strip -- gone?

Dokushin

So I've trawled the archives back to front, and I can't find a strip that dances at the edge of memory; Anne (I think) was sitting on a bed, talking about something at length, and Gabe (I think) leapt over and hugged her, and a heart appeared. Does anyone remember this? I'm not crazy, right?

Aldo

check http://pipefour.org/pa if you can´t find it on there it is a figment of your imagination.

Dokushin

That's an awesome link and I will treasure it well into the waning years of my life.

However, I've tried about a kajillion searches on all kinds of even only mildly related topics, and I cannot unearth what I'm after. I would dismiss myself as crazy, but I am not the only one to have seen this strip, and I am determined to unearth it.

Does anyone else remember the one I'm talking about? Do strips sometimes just disappear? What recourse have I?

I'm pretty sure you're either imagining it or you have a detail about the comic wrong and it's fucking up your search. If you can't find it with penny packer, it ain't there.

This isn't one of those crazy Japanese school kid edits of the comic one English teacher got them to do?

Willeth

I don't remember this at all and I have a pretty fucking good memory for PA strips. I would love to be proven wrong but I feel like this is either imaginary or a fan edit.

When did this appear? It's like PennyPacker without the fuss.

Also, to the OP, I think you're making it up.

He's not "making it up" although he may well be mistaken. Take care with your manners when you're dealing with PA fans please.

There were some, ah... "unofficial" Annarchy strips, not created, endorsed, or approved by G&T. The closest I can think to what you're describing is the conclusion to "The Scion" though - http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2005/20050715h.jpg

Thanks for the input, all. I'm starting to doubt my own sanity.

I'm sure I've seen this strip, circa 2003-2004, and it came up in conversation from another person that's seen it -- and the only webcomic I've ever really followed is right here.

So. Girl talks on bed, silent listener, sudden hug, heart (hey, I'm not the one that brought this up) -- has anyone seen anything like this anywhere? Just how crazy am I, lol?

I'm pretty sure that this comic does not exist, unless it was made by someone else than Gabe and Tycho.

Brother, that shit ain't canonical.

Yeah I was gonna say.

There was a spate of "rule34" comics a couple of years ago. You might be thinking of one of those. I doubt it, but hey.

That's creepy knowledge I could have done without knowing.

that is the kind of mental scarring you get from browsing 4chan, while bored senseless.

Dokushin

Woah, woah, lol... not really anything on a "rule 34" level going on in this strip, although it's possible it was fan made? But there wasn't anything untoward going on.

I'm sure this strip exists! But I can't find it, anywhere. If it were just me I'd write it off as some kind of dementia. But it's not just me.

Anyone? Anything? Anywhere?

Tofystedeth

Hmm, there was one where she was talking to Gabe as he made cookies I believe.

The cookies may even have been dickerdoodles.

Quid

That was in fact the original dickerdoodle strip.

JustinSane07

There's a comic like this, but it's G&T. Gabe is talking about something, I think having to do with Tabletop gaming, and Tycho just hugs him out of no where.

Mordrack

This one?

Game Fuel was actually pretty tasty.

Øswald

Annarchy didn't even exist circa 2003-2004, I'm pretty sure.

Cyvros

Yeah, I think this (31 Jan 05) was the first strip she was in.

Hewn

I believe this fits your description.

Øswald

Chugging (panel 3) contains the word hugging in it. The search for "body" picks up words that are made up of your entry. Hug brings up a comic where Gabe mentions making "Huge amounts of money."
