Looks Like Someone Loves Us

Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - 01:58 PM

1up.com has an article, mainly focusing on MG, but also touching on some of the lesser-known webcomics out there like PVP and Penny Arcade. Sadly (and inaccurately), they attribute my work of genius to Jon, but I guess folks who write articles about webcomics and video games can't be expected to do "research" or use "facts". That might involve "work".

But seriously, 1up, thanks -- more publicity, please!

I don't see why it would take any work (or "work") at all. It is ostensively obvious that MG3 is the work of an evil chicken, not a Cornell alum who majored in biology. They just weren't paying attention.

You wish you were as good as Penny Arcade. PA craps all over this place.

Aaaaand ... time!

Is this the first MG3 equivalent to Ol' Poophead showing up to troll? 112 days.

Oh, and for the record -- PA wouldn't be as good as it is if Gabe and Tycho were chickens. It would totally suck.

Gary has no character, ergo he can never step out of it.

Or was that me?

Gary is obviously a face and you're a heel. However, one of you is Raw brand and the other is Smackdown. I'll leave it to you to sort out which is which.

I didn't talk smack about PA. I said that it would suck if drawn/written by a chicken. Which any strip not created by our S[a]tanic White-Meat Lord would.

Oh, don't think I didn't try to sell your trademark Subjunctive Finishing Move. The marks are the reason we're here, after all.

And yes, yes, all hail the Great Gallus domesticus and all that.

If he can impregnate some other domesticus, then same species, but different breed. Say: Gallus domesticus satanicus.

I'm not sure what that would make Oliver.

Except, Satan.

So, sorry, Gallus Satanicus.

Also, it has not been shown that Diablo can propagate his species.

Oliver was invented by monkeys, not sired by Diablo.

Gallus Satanicus.

Pretending you're correct, which you're not: satanicus. Genus begins in upper case, species in lower case.

Or using Gary's convention: s[a]tanicus.

it has not been shown that Diablo can propagate his species.

That you would doubt our leader's ability to do this shows your unworthiness. I hope his justifiable wrath takes the form of smiting.

Oliver was invented by monkeys, not sired by Diablo.

He probably is a different species: Gallus badassus. I just hope he doesn't start his own webcomic.

Except, again, you forget.

Satan.

To impugn the dark lord by putting his great Name in lower case is to risk a wrath that even Diablo can't manage.

So if I were you, I'd stay away from rooms with corners...

That you would doubt our leader's ability to do this shows your unworthiness.

I expressed no doubts. I merely said that the case had not been shown.

You're the one that continues to doubt the power of Satan. Or even S[a]tan.

Actually, rethinking this, it should be Satanicus gallus. The Evil One would consider it an insult to be subordinated to a genus.

[waits for it]

I have never doubted the power of S[a]tan. I'm an atheist, not an as[a]tanist. Or aS[a]tanist, if you insist.

Yet still, I think you folks are lacking something. In fact, you are still subjugating the name of S[a]tan.

You forget, the full taxonomical name of a chicken is in fact
Animalia Chordata Aves Galliformes Phasianidae Gallus domesticus. Therefore, promoting the name to genus is really no help at all.

Of course, simply promoting it to the top of the taxonomy may not be appropriate either. S[a]tan's Kingdom is what he rules over, not what he is. Thus, it should be either Infermum or, according to some theories, Newjersium.

Since karma here is messed up and I can't start a discussion, I'm just appending this to an old thread.

Where is this "William Patterson University" to which this week's strip refers? There is, of course, William Paterson University in New Jersey. But what of this institution with the rockin' orchestra?
