    Anyone else think that psychotic-looking teddy bear looks kind of like our favorite sadistic lagomorph from Sam 'n Max Hit the Road?

    I hate to be rude, but am I the only loyal PA reader that doesn't like this series? I mean, yeah it's weird and christmas themed, but I expect a little more humor and games related content in their strip.

      Humor is in the eye of the beholder (intended), and it would appear that Cthulhu is games related content. And if you're not disliking of something in PA over the years, then they're not trying hard enough. If you want to fill the void, try another comic until the series is done. (Personally, the top hat cat character strips bore me, but I know my respect is still high towards Gabe and Tycho over the years.)

      mmm. cthulu always has uber-comic nerd cred. i think that's gabe talking. gabe's being experimentalist as always with the art, making it look like a hallmark card or short children's xmas book, most especially the night before xmas.

      idunno, i'm not laughing at them either, but i don't mind them doing something different for the holidays.

      You're not alone. I am a loyal PA reader as well and this series falls into the same category as Twisp and Catsby for me. I strongly dislike both of them.

      Yeah, I mean, I understand the joke. I just think it's stupid. It reminds me of this dude I used to work with who would just spout random nerdy inside jokes when he wanted to be funny. It's like those irritating people who post about overlords, communist russia, or women covered in grits.

      Oh well. At least they've rectified it with a stip about monkey blood and spiderman.

    Good concept, bad execution.
    Ah well, back to our regularly scheduled games and gore and profanity on moday, I guess Child's Play has been monopolising their attention.
