savagelove_feedIt’s another easy-breezy session this week, gang, as our summer of running around to reconnect with family continues. Right now, Terry and I are in Scotland visiting some very special members of our chosen family. We came here the summer we met — it was our first vacation together — and we wanted to come … Read More »

Discorbs
Jul. 16th, 2025 09:07 pmpennyarcade_feedDiscord keeps adding delighters and sparklitos and all kinds of things they want me to do, use, or buy. I'm not certain we've achieved true enshittification but there is a lot of shit on there now and it's wigglin' 25/8.
This Once Famous Gen X Cartoonist is Revealing His Secrets
Jul. 16th, 2025 05:24 pmpennyarcade_feedI recorded another timelapse of the comic creation and this time I remembered to turn it on before I started! Here’s a look at today’s comic strip from start to finish. Again, if you set the play back speed to 0.25 you approach something like real time but it’s important to note that it only records when I make a stroke so you don’t have all my pauses. While I’m drawing I’m also watching a show, pausing to think about what I’m gonna draw, talking with my kids as they come in and out, messing up and getting mad at myself, eating some lunch, and all that good stuff. This might make it look like I sit down and power through a comic without hesitation and with supreme confidence but I assure you that is not the case unless I am drawing live on stage at PAX.

Jul. 15th, 2025 11:00 amsavagelove_feedI’m in my early twenties, and I’m looking to start exploring kink further, especially since my hometown is in a metropolitan area with a large kink community. I have no shame or fear about entering kink spaces beyond the typical nerves any beginner might have. I was lucky to be raised by some really awesome … Read More »

Accidents Will Happen.
Jul. 15th, 2025 11:00 amsavagelove_feedThe woman in a married couple that does not want children accidentally got pregnant. This happened once before, and she learned that her husband is against abortion on religious grounds. Should she tell him she will end this pregnancy, or keep it secret from him? Do accidents happen in BDSM? They sure do! Hear the … Read More »

Tony Hurk
Jul. 14th, 2025 05:12 pmpennyarcade_feedGabriel buying the new old Tony Hawk game on PC of all places must be considered my final victory over the man. Nought remains now but to choose a new nemesis - or even nemeses! Good luck trying to replace a hobgoblin like the Mork with a single foe. It's either gonna have to be a team of people, like with a shared Gcal or something, or I'm gonna have to war with a timeless concept like "hunger" just to get the same high.
PA behind the scenes!
Jul. 14th, 2025 03:37 pmpennyarcade_feedI’ve been messing around with the tools Clip Studio has for recording your work. I forgot to turn it on until I had finished my first sketch pass but I do have a recording of today’s strip getting made. If you like to see how the sausage gets made here is a quick little timelapse that shows how a Penny Arcade strip comes together.
Turmoil In The Toybox
Jul. 11th, 2025 06:21 pmpennyarcade_feedWhen Gabe and I were writing the strip, Brenna came in and was talking about some kind of altercation she had gotten into with a man online about "woke diabetes barbie." I feel like… I feel like if I had spent a lot of time thinking about that, I would be kind of embarrassed. I have a somewhat complex relationship with masculinity in general, which I'm sure comes as no surprise given my, you know, everything. I had to compile a custom manhood from snips of things I found on GitHub and I don't know if it would even be a durable identity for anyone else. I don't feel any particular compulsion to be a guard on the gate that winnows true men from beta cucks. I have much, much bigger fish to fry. Whatever masculinity is, though, I'm certain it doesn't involve arguing with my wife online about dolls.

Jul. 10th, 2025 11:55 pmsavagelove_feedNo Struggle Session this week — my summer of dashing around the world to see family continues (next up: chosen family) — but there’s a wonderful conversation unfolding in the comment thread on this week’s column about being non-binary and what binaries need to know about dating non-binaries. (Yes, Alex, there was a master plan!) … Read More »

Horseplay
Jul. 9th, 2025 06:22 pmpennyarcade_feedI watched a streamer man called Northernlion run an Umamusume Pretty Derby tournament and thirty thousand people were in the channel. Haven't heard of this potent brand, just as vigorous as the horses that inspired it? Of course you have. It's the anime/manga/music/game series from Cygames about beautiful, fast young women who are reincarnations of famous historical racehorses. Obviously.
