I don't think I can choose a favorite. But this one is absolutely perfect. Comedy gold.

“You have made an enemy of the birds, my friend.” Is probably my number one, but “Daddy two peepees” has also got to be up there.

Every time I play Destiny with my gaming bestie, this is how it goes down for the third player. (I know this wasn't Destiny)

Just came across this old PAX 05 art and my only question is why did Omin and Jim trade clothes?

reply

geno.avoids.work•186 days ago

It would be too difficult to choose a single favorite, but I can tell you the two that came first to mind upon hearing the question: (1) Claw Shrimp, (2) The Land of Upp. Best Jerry post goes to carrot cake soup.

This comic on The Witcher. Even if you don't know the games/books (and now show), the joke is so dumb I love it. I used to have a printed version in my cubical at work. https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/10/25/third-base

Now You Know is also a favorite, mostly because I interned at the developer that made the BMX games shortly after XXX released.

reply

aac.social•187 days ago

Also Known As Blackmail is my favorite, though I also have a very soft spot for the CTS

a classic

reply

friendfrankenstein.bsky.social•187 days ago

Too many to count. But first to mind I have a soft spot for this one strip where you're both sitting and talking in front of these autumn woods and in the background both your kids are playing together. Obviously y'all are funny as hell. But sometimes you capture a real partic'lar kinda warm moment.

scottsurette.com•187 days ago

if I have to choose it's probably "a trick of retrospective," I have the version without text framed at home

I love the simplicity of the joke, the one panel composition, and the look on Gabe's face.

I think about and chuckle at this one a lot. And it's cool that your art constantly evolves and improves, but this is definitely my favorite era of the comic's look. Here's to 26 more years!
