I enjoy it. He has funny characters, sorry to some people who don't understand how to make things last. You can't have a realistic person who learns from shit. Every now and then Ethan does something special, but he's still the same lucky dope every knows him to be. Urkel knew what it took to become popular, but did he? Hank Hill learned to except Bobby for who he is HOW many times? Shawn and Eric from Boy Meets World had HOW many STDs? Bart is STILL at that school??? If every character from every show learned and evolved, well the show would change constantly, by having static means your more likely to keep the fanbase. There are some shows that break this, but these shows usually don't have very many seasons.
Also I've never seen any of his comics where he has to explain the joke. If you're a gamer you most likely get it, and we get less Penny Arcade words (I love that one too, but his news posts are more entertaining to me.
Also how did Buckley become arrogant? It's like people just spout random insults without any backup (Wait am I new to the internet???) Unoriginal? When did someone in any other comic get drunk and marry Microsoft Windows? Once again I fail to see. Then again, welcome to the world of bandwagons.
Weird how the most popular ones are for some reason the ones NO body likes (Halo, blah, blah blah)
