Where? Behind that bizarre and ultimately unfulfilling "webcomic?"

On one hand, I look dumb now.

On the other hand, I got to see the Kate Beaton strip without having to wait any longer.

Did... Girl Genius's current arc end on a literal Deus ex Machina?

Awww, that Achewood.  I just got something in my eye is all... :sadpanda:

I'm also reading Awesome Hospital lately, but I can't really tell you why.  I like Chris Sims, he's a funny writer, but this strip has been about constantly trying to make everything wacky funny, to the point where it just sort of goes mundane.  But if it's your style a thing, there it is.

I once saw a picture of him (Onstad, that is) and Jon Stewart.

Meanwhile, it only just occurred to me that pesterchum online handles are analogous to genetic codes, which led me to the wiki for more info.

What amazes me is that this isn't just a case of constellation; thanks to all the weird plot shit, we can see the powder-burns of Chekhov's statue hand (10/11/09) long before the gun is fired into a tornado (01/14/2010). The web of recurring gags and interconnected concepts is mind-boggling.

Homestuck is an internally-consistent sculpture of enormous size and complexity, and I have no idea how AH could start showing close-ups of disparate sections so quickly. It'd be inspiring if it weren't kind of horrifying.

What was the deal with the blue ribbon in the latest Penny Arcade "Lookouts" arc? I don't get it.

No, scratch that. I don't get ANY of the Lookouts stuff PA has done thus far. The last one was muddy and poorly composed. I don't care HOW much praise was heaped on the artist, clarity is very important in comics and especially if you're doing a strip without words.

And now there's this blue ribbon that appears out of nowhere and is supposed to hold some meaning.

 :tldr: don't blame me, I voted for Automata.

Looks like it's a flag worn on the belt.  Taking someone's flag means you killed them, in this little game.  I guess.

The arc sort of makes sense, going back and reading the whole thing at once, but it's pointlessly obtuse and not really for any purpose and the words make no damn sense.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

I think the arc was supposed to be about the guy training the kids to go to battle with the owl beast or something.  The one kid was brave and grabbed the guys flag, but also got his own grabbed.  As a result, he died in battle with the owlbeast?

I don't know.  Just read The Loneliest Astronauts

I have no idea what was up. I know it represented someone dying.  But fuck if I know what's up.

I want them to use WORDS. This is a good time for Tycho to unleash his pent up storytelling and we get strange, vague poetry.

I don't think it was specific "let's train to fight an owlbeast" thing so much as just a training game.  The owlbeast segments were the game as filtered through childlike imagination.

I'm glad someone else shared in serious derp-itude with me on that.

Unlike the first Lookouts one though, I don't care enough to try going through the pages to see if there are clues to the nature of the mysteries.

I thought this at first too, but the snow on the ground during the "real" battle tells me that it's a future battle that mirrors the training.

Man, for a comic that everyone on the internet seems to hate with a burning passion, there sure are a lot of people talking about and discussing what it all means.

I didn't know anyone hated Penny Arcade around here.  Even 4chan seems to respect it over every other gamer comic.  It's also the most popular comic on the poll I made, so maybe you're confusing it with something else?

I think he was referring to Lookouts specifically, not Penny Arcade in general.
