Oh yeah, the Claw Shrimp! Thanks, **cactus waltz** , I had forgotten that one too. arghh, I was searching the archives for one specific comic, and now I can’t stop re-reading them all! I guess it could be worse. 😉 [Here’s](http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2002/12/06) the one I was looking for. ---

[Reminiscent of Egypt](http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/06/09), my favorite. And some old school 'toons [Girlfriends, Tribes, and You](http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/1999/01/20). ---

[QUOTE=ultrafilter] [An old classic](http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2003/07/11). [/QUOTE] Ah… not the funniest of the lot, but I’m seeing a doctor tomorrow, so it very much hits home. Although I already know what they’ll find. The Egypt strip might be my favorite of these so far. ---

[QUOTE=JoeSki] [Baby vs. Rhino](http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/05/07) [/QUOTE] I really like that one. The random baby is just so funny. The future of [Tetris](http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2003/01/24). ---

[QUOTE=KJ] I know there are tons of good ones that I’m forgetting, but the [Shenmue](http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2000/11/15) one cracks me up. [/QUOTE] I always liked the [first Shenmue-related strip](http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/1999/12/22). ---

[Lame Boy Advance](http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2001/06/13) I like it for two reasons, 1) It was the first Penny Arcade comic I read, and 2) It’s funny because it’s true. ---

[My Current Wallpaper](http://www.penny-arcade.com/roll_wall_1024x768.jpg), which came from [this strip](http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/08/23), part of a recent story arc. Not the funniest comic I’ve read on the site, but a great image. ---
