As Ray pointed out in the podcast this week, Animal Crossing (and the Wii in general) is not the right game to be labeling a place where child predators lurk. Nintendo has made it far too difficult for them to even bother trying. Of course they’ve also made it far too difficult for us actual gamers to find our actual friends online, but that’s a rant we’ve been over before.
Now that I think about it, some of those characters were kind of creepers….
Nice. Peeping Tom alert!
Oh dear….a family watchdog for animal crossing. At least its not like the original, you can at least see space between everything.
I like that Nook is one of the marked location.. I always felt bad for those two kids working for him upstairs, now I know why.
What the?!? Is that MY House?!? Oh all the… who do I talk to so I can clear up this misunderstanding and how old are they?
PETA needs to get on this…how dare they not let animated characters be pedophiles without being labeled as “sex offender.”
PETA has alot on their plate: Rapist Rabbits, Peek-a-boo Turtles, Misunderstand Nazi Attack Dogs, and African Zombies. Let’s all support them by sending Nintendo, Activision and Capcom some copies of Nintendogs so that they may throw bars of toys and glass jars at the dogs heads…Oh wait…doesn’t Nintendo make Nintendogs? CONSPIRACY!
By the way….I rose from my grave during the comic “In a Pickle” and never got mentioned. It hurts me inside to know that I was looked over and shuned by Tim and Ray. -cries-
haha, peeping tom get it? i love the comic this week. its hysterical. ecg and 5 stars if you still had the rating bar.
So who’s the one who’s actually registering them as sex offenders? Is it Tortimer? or maybe Lucci? š
Forget about Peeping Toms. We have a Peeping Tom Nook on our hands!
I swear, Pedobear and Tom Nook must be twins. They look just a like!
Here’s a pic of Pedobear if you don’t know him:

Ok, first off, I love the banner. I actually made me laugh out loud, and that is something that I would NEVER lie about!

[spoiler]I like the comic, its a little topical and specific to the goings-on on the website this week, but good nonetheless, guys[/spoiler]
On a slight side note, how come PETA is not upset about the human slavery in Animal Crossing. The one human in the town seems to be responsible for the complete maintainence of this town. Including individuals lawns, and then if you don’t pick all the weeds, the complain about the town, no one known how to contact their local government?
Because, it’s Human slavery.
Even though a lot of them are just re-skins of the same model.
Nice comic guys! The logo was a really clever touch. š
It was a good comic but it wasn’t what I expected becuase I used to not be able to guess what the comic was going to be about. But why does Ray play animal crossing under the name cutie-pie. Also Animal Crossing seems more like a heaven for furries than pedophiles. Man recently 2pstarts has been giving me nightmares.
First, nice comic guys. Now I have a new reason to be wary of Nook! As if he wasn’t shifty enough to begin with…
Second, this is why we have to put up with friend codes in the first place; because Nintendo is (justifiably) afraid and this was their worst nightmare… Instead it’s just ignorant people and ignorant media trying to make something up about something they know nothing about.
Even though you play as a human, Why is that? it would have been just as easily an animal determined through a series of questions just like the ones that determine your face and hair color at the beginning. That’s a reason why I don’t play that game, you are stuck as a dummy of a person while the other people are Nekos and Tanukis and Kitsunes and Hedgehogs and….*D3vin continues naming off animals*
Tom thinks you owe him more then just bells.
And I agree. The media is all propaganda, stories that make things into something they’re not, and gloominess.
The Animals are the pedophiliacs, not the other way around. And that cutie-pie thing has me worried. I think Ray may need to say a certain disclaimer over 9000 times next podcast…
Unless the Cutie-pie is a 13 year old girl that is being prayed upon by Pedo-Nook….
Or maybe I’m just addicted to the “Reply to this comment” button.
Wait, that last one is not a maybe, but a definently.
Hey! Is that a reference to The Office that I see?
[spoiler]The name Astrid from episode 13. (At least I believe it was 13.[/spoiler]
If I hadn’t listened to the podcast, I would’ve been like, “Wow, this is stupid and make no sense.”
But because I’m the resident podcast obsessee, I can say that this comic is indeed very funny, though it took me a bit to make the connection.
The creepy thing is that Tom Nook had some sort of past with Sable…but all joking aside, I think that Tom Nook is so much cooler than any one gives him credit it for…
And Astrid better be in one of the unmarked houses, because she was awesome!
The comic’s okay, but the shops are from Wild World, and it’s supposed to be about City Folk. Get your facts straight guys.
Wow, and I thought I was the nitpicky one. Why does it have to be about City Folk? Why can’t it be about Wild World? Though you are right, it is obviously Wild World as Nook and the Able Sisters are right next to each other…but I don’t see why that matters.
and now that I think about it…as much as I love Dr. Shrunk…you probably could’ve done something with him.
I wanted to leave a comment but… I didn’t know what to say.
I have to agree, you’d have to read the blurb about it or atleast listen to the podcast to get it. I am surprised you guys didn’t do a PETA one though…maybe that should be a side comic so Ray has something to do in his spare time.
Ok, there are seven blue houses, but only five names, now I havn’t played the n ewer anumal crossing games, but what happened to the other residents?
The scroll bar on the right side indicates there are more names in the list. If you feel it’s poor design, then you can join me in putting the blame on the Wild World developers.
Honestly, City Folk’s menu was so boring that I decided to use the Wild World – and I felt comfortable doing this since Wild World still uses some kind of Wi-Fi connectivity with strangers. But since the registrations were all from the local houses, it really wouldn’t matter anyways, right?
I fail to see the problem with that system…
Okay, now whenever Tom Nook follows me around the store, I am going to be really creeped out…
Which reminds me, doesn’t Tom employ his two younger cousins? He must be from Arkansas. ‘Nuff said.
Actually Timmy and Tommy are Tom Nook’s nephews.
My bad, I didn’t notice. Oh Well!
(Picks up a pitchfork and goes after Nintendo)
*omg Ray responded to my comment*squeels in joy
Wow, I thought I wasn’t creative because I named my town “Hyrule”, but at least I didn’t call it “Animal Crossing Town”. š
Awesome comic.
Like other times, there’s a DA comic about this:
http://www.duelinganalogs.com/comic/2009/03/20/liars-and-predators-and-sickos-oh-my/
I said it before and i’ll say it again: Great minds think alike.
I can totally believe those guys using this picture as proof that pedos play the game.
Good comic.
Same here.
Hi guys. >_>
Oh, awesome! š I didn’t even notice that on the first sweep though! Very subtle Ray! š
Also, CKcheeseboy, you’re avatar is really starting to annoy me, especially since you always manage to post on a GRAY comment instead of a WHITE one. Here, use this, please… it has a transparent background instead… š
OK, I changed it. I didn’t notice because it’s hard to see the difference between the gray and white on my monitor. I meant to change it at some point though because my brother pointed it out to me, I just forgot. The fuzziness was bugging me a bit, but I didn’t know Gravatar could take .png. It should be better soon, though.
Hmm, seems like Gravatar doesn’t like transparency. Oh well, I’ll try to come up with something else to use instead.
always wondered why they just chased me when i went by.
also explains why tom nook is a loan shark, just to see you sweat…
No, Sega did, (I’m being sarcastic here, people)
Of course Nintendo made Nintendogs….
to quote Napoleon Dynamite:
And for my next impression, I’ll do Tim and Ray!
And for my next….*gets pulled off stage*
Can’t respond in a witty way.
And for my nextā¦.*gets pulled off stage*
-Shoots the guys pullin’ D3vin off stage- Okay, you may continue.
Wow…it turned 75% of my text into a quote of D3vin and myself.
How…special.
Internet loot!

If you thought Tom Nook was creepy before then maybe you shouldn’t read this though. It’s a creepy overload.
By the way, any other RSS feed subscribers noticed that chriskatching is rising from the grave with a vengeance?
He’s basically commenting on the entire archive š
Tom Nook: So. End of the month. Do you have my bells?
Animal Crosser: No Nook, I wasn’t able to raise your bajillion bells to fill your bell swimming pool.
Nook: Hmm…..well then…I suppose we could negotiate an…’alternate’ form of payment. Heh heh heh…….
And thus I stopped playing Animal Crossing š
ANIMAL CROSSING HOT COFFEE MOD!!!
BTW, Amelia totally looks like a dominatrix XD
I’ll stop now
Ah, poo… I tried….
š
That’s just… sick.
Although, if something like that DOES happen, DO stop playing! 0_0
And thus, we have invoked Rule 34… Someone has now magically made this mod/game. š
You just broke rule number 1.
Besides, it’ll be worse then the first picture you find when you do a google search image of sonic.
Step 1:We extract the models and rig them so we can use them in a Gta mod.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!
Let’s do this thang!
2pstart: Making gamers into furries one reader at a time.
The PETA will be on our side š
LOL, I’d say the comments are the best part of 2pstart
No, I was a furry before I found 2P START! š
And the word ‘Furry’ is politically incorrect, we perfer to be called “Fan of Anthropomorphic Animals”. š
OH geez Lol
LOL, Iād say the comments are the best part of 2pstart
There are times when I really agree. Sometimes the comments are so awesome that they make me lol harder then the comic does XD
crap, fail
Like I prefer to call zombies, “Less than alive, but still slightly functional” people.
By fan, though, do you mean, “Dreamer of Mating with Said Anthropomorphic Animals In Order To See How The Babies Would Turn Out?”
But hey, if you want Tom nookin’ at your cranny, then go for it.
Finally! A tool that facilitates stalking children! I need to get this game ASAP. It also explains why one of the residents looks like a pedobear.
So who want’s to trade multiple friend codes, jump through a flaming ring, battle network issues and do it all with little to no clothing on? I’ll take pictures so we can have memories of our friendship for ever. š
Mmmmm…
^Someone’s late to the party. We moved on to animal children. Maybe Pedobe…I mean Tom Nook…can help you with some troubles.
Now watch that animal crossing anime, and pay close attention to what PedoTom does in the presence of that little girl. lol
We need to give a fitting name that only some people will understand, and those that don’t won’t get offended…
…PedoTom is too obvious…
Same goes for Peeping Tom…
…And we can’t just call him “Pedo Bear’s Twin” becuase it’s too long…
…so we’ll add two letters to his last name…
…Tom Nookie.
No, I just say that to further myself from being placed with the fanatics and scumbags that the fandom has, I’m just an artist who likes drawing in that style. I will not go parading around in a costume of a character I made up, nor will I draw XXX rated ‘artwork’ (and I use that term loosely).
I am who I am.
Ok….
Sorry, I forgot that Limp Bizcut still sucks….
ERASE THAT CONNECTION! ITS GONE POOF!
What were we talking about again?
God…I need to stop commenting for this week.
I’m beating a dead horse….or atleast a dead nazi attack dog…
…is that a pomoranian holding a peta sign outside my door?
I think I just threw up
Good, now you are living up to your namesake,BulimicKoala š
HAHA yeah I wasn’t able to get online much prior… sooo HERE I AM š

Newest: 9. Menopausal Women
It’s obvious that they think the NPCs are people playing, which is a normal mistake I suppose, but they should really research the game before getting mad at it.
