LOLBat was pretty good, as a one-off decent idea with all the obvious ways to use it. But the strips certainly haven’t become stale lately. Some of the recent ones were pretty awesome, especially in that most of characters have had major life changes (two of them even being so altered that they are drawn differently). The wedding got milked too long, but the unexpected aftershocks are very clever. ---

[QUOTE=Lute Skywatcher] What about the ones with Skull and [del]Calvin[/del] Kevin? [/QUOTE] Personally, I’m not that into Skull, so those didn’t really do it for me. It’s been a long time since I’ve found PvP _funny_ as opposed to diverting. It’s something I check out when things are slow at work, but I don’t make a point of keeping up. ---

This raises the inevitable question: Who would win? Lolbat or [Rawrbat](http://www.punchanpie.net/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20080114)? ---

I’ve loved PVP about forever. But Kurtz lost me when his characters started [spewing spittle](http://www.pvponline.com/2008/02/06/zap-it-up/) whenever they got excited. And the last two or so story arcs (PVP staff does paintball, then Brent & Jade’s wedding) have completely sucked. I feel like since Jan 08 has been done with PVP and really isn’t interested in it any more. ---

[Does Brent have lisp?](http://www.pvponline.com/2008/01/04/oh-brother/) [Or Francis?](http://www.pvponline.com/2008/01/03/light-dawns-on-marble-head/) There’s several strips with Cole spittling as well, but I haven’t dug up a sample. I feel like the characters should be shouting, “thuffering thuckatash!” ---
