It's too bad that Penny Arcade's got a bad rap for all the crappy video game comics it has inspired, because there's really a lot of good things to learn about pacing a joke, writing dialogue or drawing characters that can be learned from PA.

i tend to enjoy PA more when they actually have continuity rather than random jokes, there are of course some of their random jokes i really love but i found a recent storyline that spanned like 6 comics far more entertaining than a lot they've had recently.

Yeah, I love the short series more than the usual fare.

Of course, I always feel a little weird about talking them up since I didn't really delve into things until they linked me twice. :oops:

I like Penny Arcade. I give them a ton of credit for the improvements that have been made in the art over the span of the comic, despite the times they've copied and pasted a comic together.

That's right. I can't even begin to count the number of times that I've seen a big mean admin destroy a thread, using nothing but a river otter.

Gorging the junk food of flattery you drag your fat ego around/Everyone floored by the battering you give to whoever's around

"And I personally will crack his skull open on my tummy!"

I prefer sea otters, though, since they are larger and therefore deadlier. Plus anything that lives in the ocean is scary.
