Randall Munroe has a lot of respect for Penny Arcade, and I just don’t get it. Any time I try to get into the comic, it’s just not funny or insightful. The only Penny Arcade strip I liked was the one about the big xbox remotes. That was funny!

I haven’t read many Penny Arcade strips, because I don’t have fun when I try to do that. So Lemmy, please help Me. Post your favourite Penny Arcade strips and explain what you like about the comic.

    I’m just giving it My final best shot before I definitively declare that I don’t like Penny Arcade. I want to see what all the fuss is about, and then once I understand the fuss, I will see if I like it. And if I don’t like it, then I can deride Penny Arcade and its fans secure in the knowledge I didn’t judge a book by its cover /hj

      You also arnt a web comic artist. You don’t have the skills, investment and life experience of one.

      You are fundamentally going to hold different values and opinions of web comics regardless of quality, content and genre then a web comic artist.

      You also likely are a lot younger than him and missing literally decades of experience, nostalgia, conventions and professional interactions with penny arcade and it’s creators.
