Penny Arcade Holiday Strip Series #1

While normally we don't do this sort of thing, recent charity work with Child's Play has substantially increased the bandwidth demands over at Penny Arcade. To assist Gabe & Tycho, and keep their site running slightly faster than a snails-pace, we're co-hosting their seasonal holiday strip series "The Last Christmas". The cover and the first page are attached to this story (future pages in coming days), so read on and enjoy until we hit our bandwidth limits! (Warning: Comic may contain Cthulhu)

How does *that* work?

[pla]

Umm... Judging by the time this has taken to load...

Did we manage to Slashdot Slashdot?

Freaky!

Re:How does *that* work?

[mbbac]

No, Slashdot was Penny-Arcaded.

The power of Cthulhu compels you! The power of Cthulhu compels you! The power of Cthulhu compels you! (you get the idea, or at least, you will.... mwhahahahaha)

Got Sanity?

The end of the world

[Suicyco]

Slashdot is slowly eating itself tail first. This is the end of times, the internet cannot be far behind! I'm going to go grab my wind up radio and get a shotgun.

Its /.2K

Re:Slashdotting...

[Devil Ducky]

Can God create a slashdot that he himself can not Slashdot?

Until....

[travdaddy]

enjoy until we hit our bandwidth limits!

I didn't get to enjoy for very long. stick to text.

Re:Bandwith = getting killed?

[spac3manspiff]

mmm reminds me of the 56k days!
good times good times

Re:One page?

[spac3manspiff]

When does the next page come?
Depends on how many days it takes the first one to load.

Ctrl+Shift+R I hear makes it load faster

[curtisk]

and faster in Firefox....the more you do it, the faster it loads, kinda warms the bits of data and lowers viscosity.

The "R" is for "ReallyFastLoad" it a secret feature *shhhhhhhhhh*

I guess it's working

[Wordsmith]

It actually loaded faster for me off of the Penny Arcade site than it did off of slashdot.

I guess slashdot got pennyarcaded.

Re:Taco says

[JabberWokky]

More like (picture Tycho and Gabe as Peanuts characters):

Tycho: "I know! Gabe... you can draw, and I can write, and we can make a Christmas webcomic!"

Gabe: "Yeah! And I have an uncle Taco with a barn! We can host it there!"

Tycho: "..."

Gabe: "Did I say barn? I meant penis."

Gabe: "Website! I meant website!"
