Now that's what I call absolutely terrible!

It's truly bad, I'm lucky they released such an intensely mid comic on the very day I chose to liken it to PizzaCake (Which is also often mid, but has got a lot better since she went more controversial)

Ok, thats a good equivalent tbh.

I feel like I'm missing some plot here

The last couple comics are callbacks to characters who haven't appeared in the comic for years, peeking in to see how they've changed and grown. It's nostalgia for longtime readers and won't make sense for anyone else.

Wow, the art style has changed drastically since I last read those. It’s been years and years.

They genuinely used to look a lot more like the comic in OP, artistically.

Edit to add:

This one is supposedly from the 90s, but much closer to what I remember regardless.

I think Penny Arcade's one of the few comics where I think their character designs got worse, the longer they ran.

You're telling me this isn't from a porn parody?

Yeah, they did not age well at all. I think our senses of humour evolved in different directions, too.
