Title: Star Control reference in Penny-Arcade Post by: guesst on April 25, 2008, 11:16:14 pm The comic updated a few hours before the news today on Penny-Arcade, so I was surprised when Tycho mentioned a Star Control reference (http://www.penny-arcade.com/2008/4/25/) in the strip (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/4/25/). Searching diligently I finally found it. Look at the last frame. "PKUNK (http://wiki.uqm.stack.nl/Pkunk)!"

How is that funny? What's that thing bumping on his head? Looks like something from Mario Bros.

The thing in the last strip is a "Blue Shell" from Mario Kart, it finds the guy in 1st place then blows them up, in this case "Pkunk'd".
