Is there a homepage for Pathetic Geek Stories? These run once a week at [avclub.theonion.com](http://avclub.theonion.com) but there doesn’t seem to be an archive anywhere. Does anyone know where they are archived?

A few months back, I did some pretty extensive searching, and I never found a website or archive, other than one black-and-white PGS comic. Not exactly a hopeful sign.

Damn! Those are hilarious! I can’t believe that there’s no archive somewhere! The best part is how there’s never a punchline, you’re just left to dwell on the patheticness of the story.

I may have answered the OP… this site seems to have a collection, but you have to be creative to access them.
They appear to run from July 97 to July 98.

I read the recent editions of PGS at [http://www.theonion.com](http://www.theonion.com), a page of excellent news satire which all cynical, jaded Dopers should love. 🙂 The link to their copy of PGS is:

A long while ago, someone I know made this archive. I think they are just links to another site, but it’s still active so go check it out.
