Jason: What are you playing?' Peter: "Tomb Raider II" it cost me two months' allowance. Jason: GAAACK! You brought a "Tomb Raider" into this house?! Peter, how could you?! Those are without question the sickest, most twisted games ever! Peter: They're a lot less gory than what you usually play. Jason: Gore- schmore- the hero character's a girl! Peter: Lara Croft's not just any girl, Jason. Check out those bazookas. Jason: Doofus, she's holding two pistols.

When Jason hits puberty, it’s going to rock his world.

We’ve heard of the “generation gap”. What is this, the hormone gap?

In the early days of 3D gaming, those “bazookas” are still very much square shaped.

Teenage boy + Raging hormones = I don’t care what shape those bazookas are.

and lets not forget the ever popular “nudality” code, it didnt change the square shape is simply shows the character before they added the Clothing coloring. Which many a boy called a Nudality code.

I remember this story - one of the best.

When I read that strip years ago, I didn’t really get it. Nowadays, seeing it again, I do.

I guess Jason doesn’t like Metroid either!

I never played “Tomb Raider.” It’d be interesting or odd to see some lady literally carrying two portable rocket launchers.

Jason achieves enlightenment, in this story arc, IIRC.

comixavier: she doesn’t carry portable rocket launchers, she carries pistols… the bazookas in this strip refer to a more permanent, silicone-injected form of male entertainment
JP Steve Premium Member over 15 years ago
I bought my first Tomb Raider for the bazookas. Stayed with them for the gameplay. Now I’m an addict!
Rakkav over 15 years ago
Square “bazookas”? I don’t think so, but judge for yourselves. (I wanted to post the links for Tomb Raider II and, for comparison, TR III from Wikipedia, but they won’t keep their layout here.)
I am SO glad I never got into computer gaming. (If I ever did, it would be based on Star Trek or Star Wars.)

Samus Aran could totally take her.
ninmas over 15 years ago
hahaha!
Virtualjump over 15 years ago
Those are definitely bazookas, Jason, not pistols.
Rakkav over 15 years ago
Samus Aran? Inside or outside of her power suit?
mrprongs over 15 years ago
First inside, then slowly taking it off.
SquidGamerGal over 15 years ago
Reply to Rakkav: Both!!

I’ve always wondered how Jason took the ending of Metroid
