...and it is good.

As any long-time readers of Penny Arcade will know, the boys haven't ever really been enamored with our little Apple world...even going so far as creating 'Charles', a hacky-sack playing, pie-baking (presumably apple), Mac-loving 'hipster'. All in good fun mind you.

For those not familiar, here's a brief history of Apple in the world of Penny Arcade:

01.13.99 - Mac Gaming Strip
02.23.01 - Oh, That Charles
01.09.02 - Charlito's Way
10.20.03 - The Pied Piper
03.12.04 - The Hipness Threshold

Good stuff. Plus, it's fun to see how much Gabe's artistic skills have progressed over the years.

Well, imagine my surprise after seeing this:

01.11.06 - Oh My Dear Sweet Lord



Oh, and you must read Tycho's writings on the matter. In fact, you should read his writings for everything linked above (click on the little 'news' icon beneath the strip). Oh hell, for those that are new to PA, click the 'Archive' link at the top of the page, use the scrolly-thing to go back to the very first strip, and go forward from there. Make sure you read the news associated with each strip as well. It's always fantastically written. These guys are fucking geniuses.

I love Penny Arcade.

Are you guys hiring someone for extremely part time? I can stop combing my hair if needed.

My iPod has nothing but Dave Matthews on it.

I could make boring iDVD’s of little Gabe and then force all my friends watch them or photocast pictures of him to the iGrandparents
