Talk:160: Penny Arcade Parody

Is this supposed to be the beginning of a porno fanfic or something? Diszy (talk) 18:04, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

XKCD meets Penny Arcade! This could be interesting if Randall continues this. Maybe (as a joke) one of us could crash PAX wearing a Cueball costume... ;) --JayRulesXKCD (talk) 12:11, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

I think this is more poking fun at Jerry Holkins's (Tycho's) writing style. A news post from Holkins always accompanies each comic strip with a sometimes-explanation of the events in the strip and recent bit of interesting news. Jerry's writing, while rich and varied, can sometimes seem like purple prose. 108.162.221.221 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

I feel like the page shouldnt just be the word "crap" repeated over and over162.158.107.230 17:09, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Late to the party, but this definitely looks like it's a parody of "slash fiction". The incredibly popular past time from the late 90s-early 2000s where people would write prose about an existing universe. Usually a sexualised account of two characters who normally would not be together, occasionally self-inserting into the story as the focus of the characters' attention. - potential reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash_fiction 172.70.90.8 (talk) 12:57, 2 December 2024 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
