Yes, Penny is referring back to a previous strip, as she is wont to do at times. The irony is that they really didn’t have a chance against the “joke”: last place winners. What’s ironic though, is that it wasn’t last place; it just wasn’t first place. But hey, everyone is equally good in their own way though, right?

I thought the gag was from part 9 of this arc when the blonde said to Kate Oh, look, It’s the last place winners and then in this strip Kate said they can’t possibly lose so they didn’t. They won the last place.

For those who don’t get the gag, here it is; it won’t be funny if it has to be explained, so don’t read this if you still want to enjoy the joke:

Penny is a character that’s so smart, she’s fully aware she is a fictional character that exists only in Alex’s head. She became aware of the setup of the joke because she knows she’s in a comic and, thus, is well versed in the operations of the world.

I would also like to point out that Penny really didn’t know it, Alex did, and only gave away the joke in the second panel because Penny is Alex; and maybe Alex is Penny, but after his near mental breakdown in a previous comic about talking to himself through a comic character, I don’t want him to think too much on it.

Ah, metahumor! It reminds me of this joke:

“Three scientists of different disciplines encounter a perfectly normal situation. The first two say something appropriate to their respective fields. The third one says something entirely useless and unexpected for the situation yet humorous and bizarrely appropriate for his occupation.

And one on nationalities…
Three people of different nationalities walk into a room. The first two say something witty and intelligent, while the third insults all of his countrymen by responding like an idiot. ”

Do yourselves a favour and check out the site it’s from: http://www.comedycorner.org/
It hasn’t been updated in forever, but it’s got some great stuff. As a chorister, I particularly love the “Choir Guide”! XP
