Everyone knows that a dog is a man's best friend -- far fewer people know that a dog's best friend is cold, hard cash. "A man" isn't even on the dog's top five best friends, which are, in order: Cash, kibble, old socks, the sound kibble makes when it's applied to a food bowl, and fine cigars. To obtain these items, dogs won't hesitate to stealthily rob their owners -- a fact Penny Arcade recently highlighted in last week's Wrapup winner, "The Price of Loyalty." Don't forget: Your canine companion in Torchlight is as cute as he is crafty. You may want to think twice before using him as a mercantile go-between.
Second and third place went to 2P Start's "Powers of Ten" and Digital Unrest's "The Bomb," respectively. If you've got a strip you'd like to see in tomorrow's Wrapup, don't hesitate to drop a link to it in the comments section of this post, or send in a tip!

I didn't get it...did the dog keep the 450 or did the guy rip the dog off because he knew it was a dog and 50 was all the dog was given?

If you read the title "The Price of Loyalty", and/or played the game, you would understand the dog kept 450 gold.

I actually voted for Digital Unrest for once. I just think it's great for all the "it's teh most realistic!" crowd.

Klepto Canines usually win it for me. What's not to love about fuzzy embezzlement?

LOL.
Nice comic. I know you get beef from the Joystiq people, but that's a good comic there, and reflects the level of blood coming out of a High Dragon. :)

Playing Torchlight has also given me pause about the utility of pets.
Thanks for the folks who voted for Dipswitch last week.
We ran a few comics this week. Only two were gaming related.
