I feel this is a good time to bring up how excellent is PvPOnline.com. I’ve been reading it almost as long as I’ve been reading Penny Arcade. In fact, if you are a fan of both, you’ll recognize PvP guild on World of Warcraft as the arch-nemesis guild of the Penny Arcade guild on the Dark Iron server. If you have no idea what I’m talking about just chew your cud and move along.
Oh, and if you don’t recognize the police box in the final panel, then it’s time you got acquainted.

I spawned this…or at least the closing statement.
