Every PAX I make a series of goof banners and despite how long it has been since I started doing it they still let me print and stand them up in various far-flung locations at the show. Here are the ones from PAX East 2025.

On an orange background a hodgepodge of words, collage'd train images and various decorations.
"THE TRAIN IS COMING!!!!! Do I look OK? You think he'll notice I wore this for him? GASP, there he is-! (an image of the orange line Boston T train to Oak Grove.) Really brightens the day. Gosh, what a blessing. Ah, the moments we share together are so brief. How little time I get to gaze upon his noble bearing and smooth lines. And it's the whole family like this, you know! Behold his SIX HUNDRED HOTTER BROTHERS as well as several attractive cousins in the commuter line."

A QR code in the upper right links to a "track list" with a QR that directs to frank-oglesby.penny-arcade.com

A somewhat scary image of a tan horse with black mane and golden eyes against a black background, framed by bright pink text.
"Anyone who says they can't draw a horse denies their humanity. Our ancestors were drawing horses before they developed written language. The act of taking up a tool and using it to carve, scrape, or tint a surface to create an equine shape is an ancient, sacred practice, as essential a part of human experience as laughter, grief, joy, pain. To take up a pencil and describe an animal with crude shapes predated and will outlive civilization."

Tall white transit sign with an image of two doors opening at opposite sides of a hallway with a human figure appearing to run between them with a circle-cross "no" symbol. "Scooby-Doo door gags prohibited." Below: "Customers arriving through doorways are not permitted to run with their arms out into an open door across the hall, only to inexplicably emerge from yet another doorway closer or further from the end of the hall, sometimes suddenly holding a prop, wearing new clothes, or riding a unicycle or bicycle, without first establishing why they're opening and closing doors with such reckless abandon (are they being chased, doing the chasing, are they late for an important event, or perhaps are they hoping to hold together a complicated series of plot threads all of which seem to be coming to a climactic end simultaneously, for example.) The bottom footers appear to indicate this is an official sign of the PAX Metro Transit system.

Minimalist safety signage using yellow, red, black, and white. Title: I WHO BEND THE TALL GRASSES.

A white circle is praised with hands. "Glorious Father, intercede for me:"

A massive red eye peers down at a figure. "If I cannot hide from You,"

The eye turned toward the viewer; "Neither can he."

A box reads: WHERE DOES YOUR LIGHT NOT SHINE? WHERE DOES YOUR LIGHT NOT SHINE?

Had to watch Kristi Noem telling me to get a REAL ID going through security, and I honestly can't understand what she thinks she brings to the camera that might actually compel anyone to do anything whatsoever. If this woman told me to wipe my ass I would push harder

You still do, for certain flights, have to leave and walk around traffic to get from international flight to domestic

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Egypt has extremely strict gun control laws. Civilians are only permitted to own handguns -- no rifles or shotguns -- and only if they can prove they need the weapon for a specific purpose. Background checks for licensing are extensive and include vetting of family members and psych evaluations.

Trump on Egypt: "They have very little crime. Because they don't play games. That's why. Like we do in the United States with governors that have no idea what they're doing."
