Are you reading Ratfist?

Because you really should be reading Ratfist.

But yeah, Ratfist is pretty good.

Kathy Ack, combining Kathy and Kathy Acker quotes. It is surprisingly amazing.

Even through this Bunnigus-centric episode, Howard Tayler reminds me why I like Schlock Mercenary. In a crew of genetically-engineered animals, super-soldiers, artificial intelligences and other assorted aliens, Schlock manages to stand out as the one genuine monster, the kind that eats people and isn't truly happy until something burns down or blows up.

(I also like it because I honestly enjoy it when Tagon wins, because he loses so often, but we're not seeing much of that right now.)

I can also appreciate how Howard finally splits off the party so he can a) have the non-invulnerable characters face some actual tension and b) give me the fleeting hope that Schlock will be digesting his latest unlikable female protagonist before long.

In today's Girl Genius the Foglios drew a giant jager general with a huge mouth yelling emphatically. It's the only thing I've ever wanted from him since he was introduced.

What's with the GIANT TEXT in the most recent Penny Arcade?

Royal☭ · « **Reply #1086 on:** March 19, 2011, 04:58:31 AM »

The one that says "GO CASEY"? You're not supposed to see that.

All the dialogue is in a bigger font than normal.

Looks like - tentatively, hopefully - The Meek is back on track for regularly scheduled updates. Possibly even at the old twice-per-week rate.

I'm hopeful, because the recent long gaps was on account of Helmer working harder than he ever had before, rather than losing interest or just being flaky (the usual reasons for webcomic trickle-off).

I'm not sure what you're referring to. Looking at the Casey comic side-by-side with an older one, it looks the same.

Looks like they changed it.

an older one

I remember very clearly what life was like before the internet.

Now I feel like an agrarian in 1820.

They do that sometimes. This one, for example, used to have a dialogue-free third panel, and I think it was stronger for it.

Get ready for a bitter, Looney-Tunesesque string of disappointments.

It's the same typeface, but a different font.

I should have been more clear though: the letters are fucking huge.

TA · « **Reply #1095 on:** March 19, 2011, 04:25:53 PM »

No more or less huge than the older comic, is the point. It's not a different anything. Open 'em up in Photoshop or something and compare words that are in both - aside from a tiny bit of anti-alias difference, they're pixel-for-pixel identical.

teg · « **Reply #1096 on:** March 20, 2011, 06:07:15 AM »

It pretty clearly isn't.

I'm not sure why you guys don't seem to be seeing it, but the text is goddamned massive. It's the same typeface they've always used, but they scaled it up significantly.
I mean fucking look at it.

nope, it is something on your end. maybe try ctrl+f5ing.

Reloaded the image.
They changed it! Here's what it looked like when I read it on Friday:
