I might be slightly biased when it comes to little kids and video games.
But Gabe and his son pull these moments off in a way that makes me pass out from overload of cute and adorable.

Tycho was talking down to Ann as a child who couldn't possibly appreciate games because she wasn't as old as he was and thus couldn't experience as much as he has, yet she proves to him that regardless of age, she is up to the task of being called a hardcore gamer and should be allowed to E3. One comic was a question of age and ability, the other was of a pedantic adult getting schooled. It's cool that you like Ann, but this was not a derivative of anything. Just enjoy the comic man, it's Penny Arcade, not The Republic.

Given how rude you were, I shouldn't even bother explaining myself to you. But since others may feel the same way as you, I might as well explain why I said what I said in a way you might be able to if not accept then at least understand. The reason the two comics are similar is because they both follow the exact same following format:
In my opinion, the Annarchy comic is better executed, is funnier, and since it came first it kinda begs the question of this revisit of such a similar topic. Revisits are usually done when (a) you haven't said all that needs to be said or (b) you're going to say what's been said before but say it even better. As good as the Little Gabe comic was, I didn't feel it fulfilled either of these two criteria. If pointing this out to you constitutes taking things so srsly you flip your wig, I suggest you either med up or else sit the Internet out.

Maybe I was accusatory but I wasn't insulting as you chose to be. This is the way I talk to people when I don't agree with what they are saying and find that they are over blowing a simple situation. For you to reach so low as to say that I need to be medicated, I must've hit a nerve in which I will say, mission accomplished.
Given how rude you were, I feel like I shouldn't have to explain to you why your dissection was unneeded or how you've mistaken revisits for rehashes and how if this comic is a revist of the Annarchy comic, then Barney the Purple Dinosaur has to be a revist to Jurassic Park, so I won't.

You two are birds of a feather. Both comics are suitably amusing.

Todays xkcd is epic. In a Talon approved sense of the word.

Dragged downwards for like 10 minutes. The only thing I ever saw was what looked like oil chambers (maybe) after about 1-2 minutes of downward dragging. I was hoping to come out on the other side of the world but whether I ever would've or not I dunno: got bored, Googled for image, saw that most people were exploring laterally rather than vertically, gave up.

I saw a huge system of tunnels and stuff, and this huge mountain thing, and the ocean, and some forests, etc. I was tempted to drag up, but instead went for directions I knew would have something.

There are some Mario tunnels that go down pretty far (with stuff occasionally appearing in them) if you go right from where it starts. Apparently there's some minecraft stuff somewhere too? Idk, I spent a few minutes on it earlier but certainly didn't find everything.
I'll be disappointed if Cory Doctorow in the balloon isn't somewhere in the sky.

Today's SMBC is a knock out of the park for any philosophy fans in the audience.
