**** the holiday spirit, grab the loot and run!
This was a great set of comics. Very well done, well thought out, and lots of little details you notice at first that seem off, and are later explained as having been actually off. Not bad for 21 panels!
In retrospect, this makes his previous lines even more awesome. I loves me some Jim Darkmagic.

Complete the quest the proper way, claim reward. Then kill the guy or steal his stuff for anything he didn't give you freely.
Yeah, I can definitely see why the did not put that one up last week. Man.

I know the comic doesn't explicitly state "kill the second amendment", but that's what I see any time I come across something like it, because I know that a lot of anti-gun people are going to get up in arms (har har, that's almost a pun) over it, spouting their whole-hearted endorsement and calling for the ban of all weaponry. Which, yeah, is their right; it's also my right to oppose their views. At least in regards to the USA in general, perhaps not on a privately owned message board. We'll see, I guess.
Sad thing is, the most gung-ho anti-gun people, who always believe that their views should be seen by all and that you're just stubborn and blind if you don't agree... Tend to avoid looking at anything that goes against their opinions.
Prove me wrong. Please.
no one is saying this
Not here and not yet, no.
My twitter feed this last week has been FULL of people saying this. Ironically, most of them people in the gaming industry -_- (I swear it's like Sophie's Choice with whether I want to follow some of these people... I kind of wish they would just shut up about their politics and just talk about their games :P)

You know, Penny Arcade is no stranger to controversy, and instead of avoiding it they've embraced it before (American Greetings being staffed entirely of Nazis, doing several DickWolves comics after rape victims asked them to stop, etc.)
But is it because the elves look like children? Is that why it was pulled?

May I ask why?
It was pulled because they thought maybe on that day people didn't want to look at images of graphic violence. It has nothing to do with controversy and everything to do with a little bit of common decency and thoughtfulness.

But as usual, the real problem is missed. Namely, our complete lack of anything resembling a sane mental health care system in America. That's what prisons are for!
Edit: And that's not even getting into the fact that neither Gabe nor Tycho have ever really been cognizant of the fact that freedom of speech isn't absolute.

It's effectively a dead issue. So when you put up a strip like this, it's not only ham handed but sort of irrelevant and knee jerk too.
