Penny Arcade Remixed By Japanese Students

Thanks to Yukihime.com for its feature showing cartoons from popular games-related webcomic Penny Arcade 'remixed' by Japanese high school students. The poster explains that he "...made a short class on American comics [in a Japanese school] with artwork and examples of popular comic books and comic strips. Then came the exciting part: making your own American-style comic!" Highlights from the 100 cartoons using Penny Arcade art with newly devised text include surreal heavenly messages, some crazed growth serum talk, and odd maternity-related humor.

You know if you had said "The Wang: mightier than the sword!" you might actualy have been ontopic.

Oh, boy!

If the guys decide to do on a strip on this, I won't have to first read Tycho's news post for once! :P

I like it.

These are a great much funny than true Penny Arcade comics. Those are far too weak to be well on Earth.

Here's from an actual strip.

Gabe: This month is January. (Holding up calendar.)

Tycho: ?

Gabe: Let's go skiing.

Gabe (tearing at paper): My country does not have mountains.

Tycho: Oh, no.

those are pretty funny, what a way to learn english and comics!

too bad the resulting copyright violation lawsuit will cripple that poor japanese school. Ha ha just kidding, Gabe and Tycho would never do that kind of thing! They'll just make fun of them in the strip or something.

I like this strip best. I would pay to see two Japanese people act it out.

Interesting Dialog

[xenocide2]

The webpage mentions that he showed the class several examples of comics -- did he choose Pokey the Pengiun or something?

"... But you should really read them all."

And they're all 128KB, Now that's just asking for a slashdotting ;).
Pity they seem to have so much bandwidth...

Kid 1: What's this? [very large, as if shouting]
Kid 2: HAHAHA It is magic drug.

[I wonder what the "oops" was. Do I want to know?]

I guess that's better than me learning Spanish in high school. The first full sentence we learned to say is "My donkey is in your bathroom."

Penny Arcade Yaoi!

[May Kasahara]

LOL, the last strip linked in the post was hilarious (though the hints of MPreg were mildly disturbing). No offense to Gabe and Tycho, but I can see a very silly yaoi doujinshi made out of that and some of these others: youarenoisy.jpg, girlfriend.jpg, lovehotel.jpg, etc.

Holy cow! They managed to get themselves farked, slashdotted, and wanged at the same time!

Seriously, someone should present them a Golden Exploding Server Award for that.
