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.
Randall Munroe says many many many very smart things and his opinions should be valued but there is no law saying you need to share ALL of his opinions.
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
