Penny Arcade vs. Ctrl+Alt+Del

*Prowler* · 03-01-2009, 04:14 PM

Ctrl+Alt+Del used to be hilarious, for some reason I stopped reading the strips.

Penny Arcade is still great.

*raphael_is_cool* · 03-01-2009, 04:28 PM

This is not even needed. Everyone knows CAD is terrible.

*Hannah* · 03-01-2009, 04:47 PM

I like how CAD turned into a Soap Opera, lolz

*Cure* · 03-01-2009, 05:06 PM

Penny Arcade, homieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Peanut · 03-01-2009, 05:07 PM

Somebody lock this dumb thread. What a question, especially around here!

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-01-2009, 05:08 PM

Done and done.

Re-opened, just to bash Ctrl+Alt+Del! It's f*cking horrible!

I read CAD once and actually had to be exorcised. L.H. Franzibald can kiss my ass.

Peanut · 03-01-2009, 10:33 PM

The thing I find super funny about CAD is that the art has stayed as horrible and amateur as the writing has. I recently went back and read through the first 5 Penny Arcade books, and while the writing was razor sharp from almost day one, the art has evolved so many times.

CAD, even all these years later, still looks like sh*t.

As far as secondary online strips involving games and/or tech-related jokes go, PvP would probably be my second. Despite the fact that Steve Kuntz wrote an entire saga about one of the characters getting stuck under a large stack of papers in a filing room.

So does CAD.

Only once I read a CAD comic and... well, it wasn't a pleasent experience.

Needless to say, I didn't read any more of that crap and took to Penny Aracade like a duckling to water.

*Mecha Cow* · 03-03-2009, 11:07 AM

What the hell is this? PA is one of the best comics online and CAD is one of the worst. Case closed.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-03-2009, 11:35 AM

It's nice to see we all agree on something for once.

**Barkworm** · 03-08-2009, 12:40 AM

I have to admit I do read CAD on a regular basis out of some masochistic habit and the latest comic is a fantastic example of how incredibly bad this thing actually is:

I think this particular strip speaks more than a billion words.

Ra · 03-08-2009, 01:10 AM

...Barkworm, I hate you so much.

*rinses her eyes with acid*

**Barkworm** · 03-08-2009, 01:25 AM

The "punchline" in that strip is pure GOLD.

*Mecha Cow* · 03-08-2009, 04:19 AM

Such wit, such originality, such great art....

All good punchlines are super long sentences.

HAH!
