Also, put Sexylosers on that list there.

I would vote yay, but your stupid ass didn't include a poll.

Edit - And CTS rocked. Go read some more teenage-girl drama on your favourite blog site.

Meh, I'm more of a Ctl Alt Del fan myself. Penny Arcade is alright, but not all that great...

 

[BatmanNate]

Yay. It beats the tar out of PvP or Sinfest.

I love PA. It is almost always hilarious, IMO. I usually only read about the first paragraph of the news because I don't have too much time. Sometimes the news post is as funny or funnier than the comic.

I agree, that news post about the electric litterbox recently was damn hilarious. 'cat sh|t purgatory' LOL

 

[Evadman]

I love the T and T2 references.

 

[MacBaine]

Web Comics suck. PA is completely non-hilarious. Waste of space.

 

[EvilYoda]

yay, by far.

The FF'er is classic.. how could you not enjoy him?

Of course you wouldnt get it if you havent read the back strips..

Yay. Some of us can get it w/o reading the news.
OTOH, it helps to have read the comic for the last few years, so for instance, you know the back-story behind juice f----- 2000 (kind of an advertisement parody).

Nothing beats Grape and the cat not passing the TCP/IP test (Thresh-something, I think), though.

Wonder when they're going to start selling those?

Yay for both the strip and newsposts. See sig below.

I think its a good comic, sometimes it even goes over my head though. The creators themselves are fond of saying that even they don't know why other people think its funny.

 

[PoPPeR]

i usually only read the ones that someone on AT posts and those are all funny

Agreed.

I like the running gags they have in a lot of the comics. The cardboard tube samurai, the watch that Tycho and Gabe keep stealing from each other, Div and his alcoholism, etc.

edit: This one I find funny, for example.

edit2: This one will always be my favorite.

"Lord! Why hast thou forsaken me?!"

Classic...

As to the original question... Sometimes I find PA funny, sometimes it's stupid (Cardboard tube samurai), other times it's just.. blah...

by and large, I read it (it's in my daily webcomic cycle), but I don't lose sleep if i dont...

RealLife has just gotten retarded, like ClanBOB...

Somethingpositive.net is good, just wish they would actually update on a regular basis..

 

[PatboyX]

YAY!
much funnier to me than most of the other junk out there.

 

[MrBond]

I, for one, am glad that the FruitFµcker has returned. It's the funniest thing they've done in a long time and remains my favorite character (although Div, the alcoholic, abusive, DIVX player is a close second).

Search their archives for "fruit" and read the comics from "Diabolicious" to the present to catch up on the back story. I think they sell FF shirts too in their store.

My favorite PA strip is linked in my sig here.

 

[Mallow]

never even seen one.
