   I love Satupon and the only one I don’t get is Patbon/Papelbon I probally know what it’s making fun of just don’t remember. I am tempted to buy the game, I loved locoRoco,just need to brush of the thick layer of dust of my psp. One of which you could of added would be patawan, cos star wars always works.

   Author Comment Dande, I can’t believe we didn’t think of that! You’ve upstaged us already! Maybe we’ll save that idea if they ever make a Patapon sequel! Reply to this comment.

   I’m surprised some variant of “padawan” didn’t sneak in there! Great strip. Reply to this comment.

   NCG, and Ray shouldn’t feel bad, the comic is great, even if it’s not text/story heavy……er. And I still don’t get ‘Patajon Papelbon’. And why is ‘Patajuan’ half-asleep, isn’t that kinda….i don’t know….racist? @Tim: Is your 360 connected through an ethernet cable, or wi-fi? Reply to this comment.

   Author Comment It’s a reference to Jonathan Papelbon, the closer for the Boston Red Sox, here’s the famous picture we modeled the Patapon guy after. His name just went well with the comic theme. And DJ, my 360 is connected through an ethernet cable, I don’t know why I can’t seem to play against you because I don’t typically have problems with LIVE anymore. Reply to this comment.

   Here’s the pictures of the 2pStart shirt I had made 1 2 . Pictures are just so-so cause of the lighting in my room. I think it came out really well and I’m happy with it. Reply to this comment.

    @Tim: Neither do I, weird. I mean, mine is connected through wi-fi, but the last time when we tried to play Call of Duty I was at my friends house and using an Ethernet cable. I don’t know, maybe hiccups with live. Reply to this comment.

    I loved the simplicity that made it was hilarious even if the viewer had never heard of the game (so don’t feel guilty Tim!) Very funny. Reply to this comment.

    I really loved this one. It was kind of simplistic I suppose, but the images and text combined to make a very enjoyable comic. Reply to this comment.

    “You probably won’t get them all, but you’ll get enough of them to make the comic worth your time.” Yes, because our feeble minds cannot begin to grasp the concept of “sat upon”. Reply to this comment.

    Hmm… not too familiar with that game. The art looks cool enough. I’ve got to agree with you Tim that nothing has made me really want a PSP too much, except for one title. Not Patapon, but LocoRoco. Oohh how magical and happy! And yet none of the people (both) I know who have a PSP would buy it… figures. Reply to this comment.

    Bata Bing (Sopranos) Pata Hearst (The heiress) Pata Cake (The Bakers Man) I laughed so hard at the Satupon box I had to post. There is a download-able demo of Patapon at their site. Of course, you need the PSP. I am loving Patapon! Great fun. Actually I found you looking for info. I’ve been playing but today I restarted when I heard there is a Demo Only weapon you can take with you when you own the game. It’s a cool weapon. I highly recommend the game! Thank you for the Patapuns, Qasar Reply to this comment.

    Patapong. With the eyeball between two uprights. I suspect if you don’t get this, it means I’m really freakin’ old. Reply to this comment.
