A Penny Arcade strip you like and why

From what I’ve heard, I think Gamestop employees are sort of pre-paying their purgatory time while still in this mortal coil. So I cut them some slack.

PA aren’t the only ones to notice this… WHAT IS ON HER FACE?

[IMG]WHAT IS ON HER FACE?

A lot of people don’t like those new noses. PA and PvP and The Trenches are all using them now. I think they are trying to be stylistic, but it mostly looks to me like everyone has had their noses cut of in horrible, horrible ways.

I’m pretty willing to state that the new nose style is objectively, quantifiably, provably terrible and that anyone who likes it as actually bear-fucking crazy.

Then again, I was also one of those weirdos who said that books weren’t open to serious interpretation if the author said one reading was correct and others were not. That’s not directly related, but it does mean that my views on Art are typically discarded without consideration by people in the know ;)

Derail: the people in the know generally make their living coming up with new interpretations of old literature, so they have a vested interest in working within a framework that lets them ignore any pesky thing the author happens to say. :P

Back on topic: the noses are pretty bad. Wasn’t there a strip a week or two ago where all the noses weren’t closed, colored shapes? I guess Gabe tried it again and decided he still could give it a pass.

Dave,

Have you, by chance, recently tried to fuck any bears? Does the idea of bear-fucking sound surprisingly normal to you now, compared to how it might have sounded six, twelve, or eighteen months ago? Have you had your partner dress as a bear, make bear noises, or ingest parts of your body in the manner of a bear?

These are standard questions I have for everyone I interact with. You aren’t being singled out in any way.

Dave_Perkins · 2012-05-24T12:03:52.000Z

i wish that bears had these noses

I like the “403 Forbidden” text.

Teiman · 2012-05-24T15:26:00.000Z

thats not a nose, noses are somewhat near the center of a face, and that thing/hole is on the left side of her face

theres a point in some artist life that you can draw anything and it will just look good. but you must not abuse that. I think gabe abused this power here

Dave_Perkins · 2012-05-24T15:47:11.000Z

i like nose abuse

How hard is a fucking nose to draw? Just draw a side ways fucking U and call it done. It’s just a single black fucking line! Goddamn.

Dave_Perkins · 2012-05-25T09:22:55.000Z
