Searching didn't bring anything up. Have a look, especially if you're familiar with the original PA comics. Some of these are completely unintentionally absolutely hilarious :p

OMG, somebody managed to make a Penny Arcade comic slightly funny! I thought that was impossible...

hahah this is great. i love it when they write in english cause all the words get jumbled up and the native language doesn't translate into english properly.

Okay, after reading some of these strips, could somebody explain to me what "........." means?

It's in Anime, Japanese video games, and other media sources. WHAT IS IT?!

Silence, as in speechlessness, not being quiet.

Well, that's what I thought it was, but in the context that it's used, it doesn't make sense.

wow, they took an already mediocre comic and made it even more abysmal. I desparately searched through those for some small modicum of humor, but returned empty-handed. My quest was in vain, and my heart aches now from the torture that I had to endure. A pox on you and your family, OP!

It's main use is an uncomfortable silence or excrutiatingly long pause. Like when you say something stupid and kill a conversation, well when you convert that killed conversation to text, you throw the dots in there for where you killed it. It should make sense, I'd have to see it in use to find out why you can't make sense of it.
