Penny Arcade is still one of my favourite webcomics. I was reading through the archives recently and my love was rekindled – sometimes they’re just so perfectly sarcastic or clever, and on occasion, so, so funny. ah, nostalgia.
Here’s my top 5 of favourites:
(Mr. Period began as such an optimistic, cheerful character – I like how with each comic he becomes more frustrated and bitter regarding the current grammatical trends. I’m so on the same page!)
The Spiderman dream series: What, Indeed and What, Indeed Part 2
(one of my best friends has a not-so-secret crush on Spiderman, so these were particularly funny at the time – maybe we all know a guy who feels that way about Spidey. Such is the genius of Penny Arcade.)
What are yours?
There are so many I just don’t have the time to dig through the archive and find - a hilarious game of twenty questions… the most inappropriate use of the Wonder Twins ever… the Monster brand Surge Protector diagram… the spider who walks like a man… Gabe’s Pocky addiction… the cardboard tube samurai… Oh, and Voltron as an analogy for multiprocessor computing.
But here’s one of my favorites, even though I never played ICO.
