Tycho's just being a dick again. He's still upset over the Mass Effect 3 ending thing.
[Webcomic] PVP Discussion

I'm extremely close to agreeing. The writing in this is close to half star Drunk Duck level awful. Course I've seen some shit on that site I tell you what.

Well, let's be serious here, It's no Look What I Brought Home. But the difference is the trenches was actually TRYING to be good.
Yeah, when someone actually tries a bad web-comic like Trenches seems worse than a lazy comic Look What I Brought Home.

Kurtz tweeted "Vote…on today's PvP. Funny or not?"
I voted grue.

Yyyyyyyeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh... Not funny. Not even remotely. Seriously. Not laughing. Not even a giggle. Not a whisper. Not a peep. Utter lack of amusement.
Yeah that's .... no even close to enjoyable. Comic was all-right today though, could've been better, but all-right.
The naughties PvP called, they want their bald joke back.
Yeah, I read that too. I'm.....Honestly, no. I can sort of see what he means - and I guess it's hard to be consistently funny and the more output you are supplying, the harder it is to stay funny. But...His tweets aren't exactly filled to the brim with wit and laughs, either. His example tweet that's "comedy gold"...Sorry, no.
...today's comic was a special kind-of awful. The kind-of awful that just makes your eyes slightly tingle like you are either about to cry, or your eyes are about to burn for reading an incredibly awful joke.
And Brent actually asked "Who gets a broken bone from getting a stick thrown at them." To this exclaim- WHAT?! Its a fucking blunt instrument, why would getting broken bones from it be non-sensical?! Dammit, I thought PvP was getting better. FUCK YOU KURTZ!

Maybe I can help you say it.
Now, put your head down on this table, while I get a baseball bat...
Dunno, I've found some real humdingers in there...
He just does not care any more. We all KNOW he can be funny, but he just doesn't put any effort into most of his comics. Ugh.
What I love about this thread is the updates on his comics. If there is a post in here saying "today's comic was great" I check it out and am typically pleased. When the post is something along the lines of "It's as if Scott took his sweaty balls out and dipped them into my eyes" I avoid the comic. So all I've read over the past few months is a handful of great comics and ZERO crappy comics.
We live to serve, good sir.
Are we all secretly waiting for some sort of Jim Davis moment with him? You know, "Boy, I've had this comic on cruise control way too long. I need to take back the controls and get it back to relevancy again."
Or are we waiting for a Bill Watterson "Screw this, I don't wanna do it anymore" moment?

Kurtz has been [semi-publicly] contemplating a "fuck it" since a Daily Affirmation back in 2007.
He will have to find a revenue stream or job before he can say, fuck it....
I actually really liked that comic, if not that whole series.
The irony is simply hilarious.
Me too, I was just saying how funny it is how PvP has basically become the irrelevant Sunday strips he's mocked. Course I'm not sure PvP is bad enough to be called the Garfield of the internet...yet.
We will know when you can take random panels from different parts of his work, mix them up and still have the same if not better level of humour out of the mash up strip ;p
Yesterday's comic was extreme meh. I mean seriously, a freakin' Lost joke? Weak.

Don't worry, he'll be making jokes about the third season of Downton Abbey or Honey Boo Boo in... 2016, I guess.
