Read Penny Arcade, video game referencing webcomics
Penny Arcade is a webcomic focused on video games and video game culture, written by Jerry Holkins and illustrated by Mike Krahulik. The strip features Krahulik and Holkins' cartoon alter egos, John "Gabe" Gabriel and Tycho Brahe, respectively. Their characters spend much of the time playing and commenting on computer and video games, which forms much of the basis of the humor in the strip. As mostly a topical video gaming news comic series, there is little plot or general continuity in Penny Arcade strips, and strips are typically drawn from the perspective of fictional characters within a game or movie.

Children In Danger, Part One
Lord only knows what could be going on here! The idea that we might want to leverage dreaded continuity to paper over some personal deficiencies - such as the universal human need for rest - gave way as it typically does into something we really wanted to do and it just took more than one strip to do it. It might take more

Instrumental
I had seen this dude before, because he's a megafauna in a very specific context, and I never saw a rabbit hole I didn't want to inhabit for a while. But Morak had mentioned that whenever they turned the camera back on this guy, he was holding some crazy, borderline imaginary geometry to his lips and blowing through it. It's not something you have to

Lorcana
With his investment in OpenAI, Bob Iger has signaled that he at least is no longer interested in Disney’s legacy of incredible art and artists. As a Disney fan this is sad and honestly hard to believe. It’s like watching someone set their own house on fire. There are still people making Disney stuff that do care though and I think it’s important to recognize them. For

I'm Hatin' It
I was listening to a Satanic cultist talk about how people don't like AI ads once they find out that they're AI ads. His response wasn't to not make AI ads; that would be too straightforward a path. No, what he suggested was to make AI ads in an animated or cartoonish style so that the artifacts of their dark labor - the human

How I Make Comics
I had a few people come up to me at PAX Unplugged last month and ask for more behind the scenes videos of the comic making process. I know I personally enjoy this sort of content from other artists but I rarely think about doing it myself. Well I remembered yesterday or at least I remembered after doing the rough sketch. You can watch the full video below!

Wrapper's Delight
We usually write the strip on Discord, and so it came to pass that while we were doing so Discord wanted to remind me that I had been using Discord with their "Checkpoint," which is a kind of Wrapped. There are all these different wrappeds and they're wrappin' up all these crazy kinds of shit.

Hot Ones
One of the many things I am planning to do this weekend, and we'll see what percentage of these things get accomplished, but playing Metroid in the dark sounds real, real good. I'm up to my ass in some kind of discourse about it, there's a talky guy who is or isn't a big deal depending on who you talk to, or… it's ugly? It

Stranger Things
They kept making them even after I stopped watching them, and now they made even more, at such a late hour that some of the cast are ambulatory skeletons and the rest have AARP cards. I grew up in the "historical period" Stranger Things takes place in, so there's always a certain amount of stuff you just gotta put up

Come In Clutch
I mean, I gotta make comics and stuff because it's a big part of my job. And Tim Sweeney and I probably wouldn't get along in real life; some people are literally too smart to talk to and I think he's probably one of them. I really, really want him to be wrong that
