No, sorry, I meant the other guy. I was quoting you in agreement.

EDIT: Wait if you were being sarcastic then I don't actually know what you meant by that so I don't know if I agreed

I've always thought Penny Arcade was a ripoff of The Angry Beavers.

It was one of those "have it both ways" bits of sarcasm where the sentiment was genuine but the defensive tone was hyperbolic and making fun of assholes who need to defend PA's spurious honor.

Y'know I always did see Comic-Tycho as a ripoff of Norbert but I never once articulated that to anybody.

penny arcade is still funny sometimes but the art really fell off a loving cliff after the artist decided to give everyone bizarre bulbous weird-colored noses

like literally one day instead of people having noses he started drawing eggplants on their faces and weird buck teeth and distorted mouths

I was blown away that the skinny one has the stereotypical "nerd-voice", where you get a bunch of saliva in your mouth and lisp near your back teeth. I thought people just did that for fun, I didn't realize anyone actually talked like that.

It's a long story
I think it's important to note that the child's play charity was started out of spite. There was some big news stories about video games causing terrorism or something. So they went "Oh we're all dangerous assholes eh? How bout I start a charity where gamers help sick children? Who's the rear end in a top hat now?"

I'm not really sure that matters. You think they've been running a charity for 7 or 8 years out of spite?

The guy has super messed up teeth, so it's no wonder he can't pronounce things correctly.

it's basically a bunch of stinky tumblr-types who were rejected and alienated in high school, and then came together said "let's create our own forums so we can be cool too!"
