Ok, I get that the message is meant to be a heartwarming "Gaming provided me with a wonderful moment of shared closeness with my daughter" but it reads as "I want to fuck my daughter"

>>91008045
Wait, what? I didn't hear about that.

>>91009968
No, that's his niece who he wants to fuck, at least according to the porn I downloaded a while back.

Well, I hope your son isn't brain damaged at all, because this strip is in no way based on inconsistency.

What? That's not what the comic is about at all.

>>91017327
Your baiting for (you), but I'm just gonna point out this is mocking mass effect and Rosedale

>>91009827
What's the joke?

>>91017327

> some people stick with shit because it's familiar

just like the comic? If it was intentional, then it's pretty good.

>>91017346
I'm pretty sure mass effect gifs don't feature eyes that don't line up, crooked mouths, or spaghetti limbs, but what do I know.

>>91017347
There's no joke.
When you become a parent your life revolves around your kids which includes eschewing jokes and instead sharing a cute thing your kid said the other day.

>>91009827
>>91007532

Okay comic, fantastic convention though.
That said, this is the only strip from the comic I found funny.

>>91017346
you're absolutely right, but the premise of them doing this joke wears thin when you consider that Gabe's been drawing the characters off model and in ridiculous poses not too far removed from these exaggerated ones for the past few years.

>>91010067

>>91020977
Anti-Irish sentiment. My ancestors didn't suffer joblessly in the slums of American cities merely to be replaced by the next Johnny-Come-Oppressed.

>muh ancestors were owned

Your ancestors had VALUE. Nobody ever chased after an Irishman, except to make sure he wouldn't die on their property.

>>91023453
The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once, say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud.

>>91017363

they're making fun of the terrible animations for the new game, which yes, does feature eyes that don't line up, crooked mouths and spaghetti limbs

>>91017347
the joke is that jerry has a fetish for redheads irl. his wife is one and his kids are too, at least his daughter.

so his daughter likes that the protag has red hair because the daughter has red hair too and can relate to her. jerry likes that the protag has red hair so he can masturbate to her. the kid is naive and doesn't get it.

honestly it's kind of fucked up punchline

Gosh anon sounds like a problem with you and not with the comic

>>91025475
yeah, it has the double pleasure of being confusing for people who don't know pa's ancient in-jokes (jerry makes reference to looking for redhead porn sometimes and explains at one point that he doesn't care what his wife wears so long as her hair is red) and also writing his daughter into a sex joke. so it's not funny and creepy.

I miss the days when they wrote about murdering each other for a watch

I for one never noticed the angle others put forward here, that the features in that strip were done for comic / satiric effect.

Then again, it also didn't register that they were supposed to stand out from the usual style.

>>91045602
The comic takes the piss out of Tycho all the time by making him intentionally pompous. There's really no reason to get offended by his words here. The joke is frequently that he's a huge blowhard who takes himself too seriously.

>>91043658

>>91045845
>offended

Ehh, yeah no. It's just that, as far as I remember this was part of a strip about them attending a con of some sort, where the joke usually comes down to "wow, look at how horrible all these people are". If I remember correctly, this was the punchline, so in my eyes it just comes across as the self insert verbally dominating the strawman. There's a lot of strips that take the piss out of Tycho in a multitude of ways, but this just seems like soapboxing to me.
