Penny Arcade: Are you Serious?

[Psykoboy2]

Today's comic:

What the fuck?

People are going to be in an uproar over this. And they have every right to be, in my opinion.

I mean, who'd have known that Gabe was a pancake guy?

I totally had him pegged for waffles.

[National Kato]

It just goes to show the proven scientific formula:

Pancake Eaters = Stupid

[Froghourt]

Fuck waffles, square food ain't no good!

[Alatheia]

pancakes > waffles

:p

[Ancalagon]

Theres an interesting response from the President of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (not that he speaks for all Muslims).

Instead of condemning the use of two quotations from the Koran in the game’s music, M Zuhdi Jasser, MD, President of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, told Edge magazine that his organisation hasn’t endorsed “any restriction whatsoever on the release of this videogame”.

He said he hoped it wasn’t simply the fear of repercussions that drove Sony to delay the PlayStation 3 title's release, in order that the Koranic quotes be removed before the game went on sale.

Jasser said he didn't approve of the use of "the words of God" from the Koran in games without an educational intent.

However, he added, Muslims concerned about the game’s audio content should, instead, have been given the choice not to buy the game. “The free market allows for expression of disfavour by simply not purchasing a game that may be offensive,” he said.

I do think its a bit of damned if you do, damned if you dont thing. If they hadnt, I would bet fundamentalist Muslims would take it the wrong way - theres really no telling what those nutjobs will do. So I think they did the cautious thing, given that some people have lost their lives over such "offences".

I would just like to say that I read this much of your post and then went over to PA to read the comic. (Even though you had it linked right here. I'm weird?)

And I was like, wow, REALLY Psykoboy, you're THAT sensitive about the twin towers or Columbine or something?

Then I came back and all was revealed. :o

[TheKeck]

Also, a good pancake beats a mediocre waffle and vice versa. Sausage rules all.

[Johan]

I'm sorry, but I'm sticking with eggs, bacon, hash, coffee, and a cigar. :D

[National Kato]

Ancalagon seems concerned over petty things. Next time, pal, try addressing the real issue.

[opsin]

Given Gabe won't eat butts, do waffles have butts? I guess being square you could argue they don't. On the other hand, you could argue that they are ALL BUTTS!

Either way, pancakes, he's safe with.

This calls for an intervention.

[Cpl_Punnishment]

Upon closer inspection I have determined that he is in fact eating FRENCH TOAST!

I ask you to look at the evidence in frames two and three, which clearly portray a darker ridge (crust) and an air pocket or bubble if you will, which is indicative of an air bubble from yeast rising and giving off gas.

French Toast = Commie

French Toast doesn't bend like what he has in panel 2 does.

[Cpl_Punnishment]

It would bend if it were SOGGY French Toast!

even worse!

[Generation ABXY]

Crap, now I want french toast. Or pancakes. Or waffles.

...maybe I just want syrup. :confused:

[walkstheplanes]

I used to prefer waffles, but I found a local dive that has the best pancakes I've ever eaten.

[NoName]

Woo, pancakes for the win!

Also, todays comic seems more depressingly true than funny...

One thing I can tell you, "fundamentalist" muslims do not give a fuck about video games.

[Doctor Setebos]

I'm sorry, but I'm sticking with eggs, bacon, hash, coffee, and a cigar. :DYou eat cigars for breakfast?

No wonder you're always so feisty! :D

[TheFlyingOrc]

What? Good french toast should not be overly rigid.

[Goronmon]

French Toast doesn't bend like what he has in panel 2 does.What kind of crazy solid/burnt French Toast are you used to eating?

[H.Bogard]

Fuck yes! Take that, you wafflist pigs! We have PA now!

[Bone]

Fuck yes! Take that, you wafflist pigs! We have PA now!
Well, you have Gabe at least. If Tycho takes the opposing position, we have a flame war for the ages.

[Ghostbear]

Pancakes 4 life dawg...

[rinichanraar]

I was totally tricked. I thought for a second that they really had made an offensive comic or something. :p

(Well, I guess it was kind of offensive. There being pancakes and all.)

[Loki_09]

Yet again, us French Toastians get no respect.

[Bone]

Yet again, us French Toastians get no respect.And the Crepatistans are paid as much attention as the plight of Native Americans.

[Goronmon]

And the Crepatistans are paid as much attention as the plight of Native Americans.Maybe it's because you refer to yourselves as "Crepatistans"? Just a thought.

[Superman's Dead]

Guys, guys, woah WOAH WOAH WOAH.

http://penny-arcade.com/images/2008/20080328.jpg

And in the Newspost Tycho says it was really his idea.

[TheKeck]

What? Good french toast should not be overly rigid.
This is very true. Looking solely at the amount of bend in panel 2, I would have to conclude that it HAS to be french toast, and couldn't possibly be a pancake.

[Lint of Death]

WAAAAAAAAAAA

fffffffffles.

[TheFlyingOrc]

Well, you have Gabe at least. If Tycho takes the opposing position, we have a flame war for the ages.

Good job, Nostradamus.

Guys, guys, woah WOAH WOAH WOAH.

And in the Newspost Tycho says it was really his idea.

[Goronmon]

And in the Newspost Tycho says it was really his idea.See? Here they are actively expressing their love of waffles. Even if the comic linked in the OP does involve pancakes, it could be for lack of choice or because the pancakes were free.

[Ten19]

Jesus Christ.

I can't believe how you guys are just so flippant about such a serious topic. Don't you care about your country?

I mean, for the love of god...

Pancakes? Seriously?

Everywhere that's Pro-America eats Waffles.

[Bone]

Maybe it's because you refer to yourselves as "Crepatistans"? Just a thought.The Crepatistan Army should be arriving shortly.

[Dukefrukem]

pancakes > waffles

:p

Agreeeeeeeed!

[KingGorilla]

As I have the capacity to focus one line at a time, I was not tipped off to Scott's intentions. The whole time just thinking "Oh man, now I gotta make fun of him like all those fuckers in the wake of Leipsig and 'invaders' on the blog"(I compare Invaders to Guernica, story to go back up this weekend). Now I get to mock his pinko-wafflist leanings.

Heh, I liked the "Live in England? Crumpets". We have those in Canada as well. Damn American videobloggers, always making assumptions. ;) Also, holy fuck those look good.

Looks like the Breakfast Brigade is back.

[TrackZero]

I mean, who'd have known that Gabe was a pancake guy?

Well, he plays the "wrong" character, so don't worry. Tycho understands that Waffles are where it's at.

That is all.

EDIT: Also, crepes are a version of pancake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cr%C3%AApe). So suck it.

That... was awesome. Great song choice, and thanks for putting me in there to knock 'em toothless (my favorite part of the song, always cracks me up). Represent!

Damn you guys love breakfast a lot. God damn.

Glad I wasn't the only one who was "fooled". Ya bastard PsykoB...;)

Pancakes, waffles...just give me...i'll eat em both...FU to all you crazies who must choose :p

[Johan]

Damn you guys love breakfast a lot. God damn.

It's my favorite meal of the day. Seriously. I think it has the best food options of any meal, myself.

[Dorkandproudofit]

Beware, wafflist elite: We have friends in high places. You have no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes. :eek:

Soon, they will be bathing in their own luscious, creamy, eggy, Nutella-stained blood.

[KingGorilla]

I was watching Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives. There was a restaurant that served stacks of Pancakes that looked like props from Uncle Buck. They were served on a 14 inch pizza pan, and spilled over the sides. I came a little.

[Dave]

Pancakes... waffles... You guys kill me! Who has time for that? It's all about the biscuits.

The biscuits--with jelly, the grits, the scrambled eggs, the bacon, the OJ or chocolate milk if you please... and sometimes (like if you're at Cracker Barrel, and get the breakfast sampler) it's about the sausage and sweet ham too.

Damn you guys love breakfast a lot. God damn.

Shocking, isn't it? My favorite thing for breakfast is lunch...I wake up kind of late.

[Whunpo]

I was thinking the exact same thing when I read the strip. The fuck, Gabe? We all know you're not the brightest chap, but pancakes?

[Xerxes]

Also, a good pancake beats a mediocre waffle and vice versa. Sausage rules all.
Bacon is the king of breakfast meat you null.

And in the Newspost Tycho says it was really his idea.Yes, the free waffles were Tycho's idea (he changed it for the comic. In this comic, we see that Gabe is obviously a pro-pancake man. The division has bee noted, and the war will rage for an eternity. PAAAAANCAAAAAKES!I used to prefer waffles, but I found a local dive that has the best pancakes I've ever eaten.Already your loyalists see the err of their ways! Pancakes, like all round things, are better than square things. So says Sam Kieth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Girl).

And meats? "Pork." is the correct answer. Any way it's prepared is better than any other meat.

YOU GNOLL!!

Bacon is good on my BLT. It's great in a salad. I makes a burger that much better. I'll take it in my eggs.

But if I am just going to eat some breakfast meat, sausage makes bacon look like a red-headed step child.

You know what, civil? I think your love of crepes will be your downfall. Stop the crepes violence, I say! However, with you spittin' knowledge like you did, I can't help but feel a little rumbly in my tumbly for your chosen weapon.

Kudos, sir. Kudos.
