This really needs the alt text:

quote:

Ronnie is slumped miserably as he makes his way to the town's apocalypse bunker. He's the last to arrive, and as he enters, he is greeted by the expectant gaze of the townsfolk who are awaiting his posterior-inspired quip. A hush envelops the room as Ronnie skulks to his cot. Wishing only to break the silence, he mutters in a whisper, "It came from a galaxy fart fart away..." Applause erupts.

Now you wanna talk regression, we can talk about Penny Arcade and its devolvement into [words] and godawful kricfalusi faces. I think it may actually have more buckleyboxes than CAD does now.

Has Gabe ever said anything about how his art style has changed so drastically? Or has anyone else ever written anything about it?

It always looked to me like he just sort of got bored with drawing the comic, and decided to make the characters' faces hugely expressive at all times with no correlation to what's actually going on in the dialogue.

Gabe is a modern-day Louis Wain.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Gabe wanted to draw more like the artist behind Ren and Stimpy, and then Penny Arcade found a business manager who made them rich, and then he stopped really caring and figured whatever he did, no matter how it looked, would be great because it was his own style.

But the comic has gotten insanely lazy in topics. I think they'd quit if they felt they could

I think I might have heard it at a PAX Q&A or something but he said more or less that he wants to avoid stagnating and being like other copy/paste comics we all know and love. I'm not a huge fan of the results but it's a good idea overall.

I'm pretty sure that Tycho introduced Gabe to weed at some point in the past couple of years.

I ain't buying it, cause weed usually makes your art better while smoking it, not worse

Dunno the date, but it's whenever the guy pressed the "randomize line length" button and it got stuck on, and he started putting Ren and Stimpy on in the background every time he would draw.
