Penny Arcade Remixed By Japanese Students

Posted by simoniker on from the mash-it-up dept.

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.

    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.

    Kid 1: No! Yours is smaller than mine, isn't it?!
    Kid 2 [holding bottle marked with skull-and-crossbones]: No, no!! mine is bigger than anyone. Because I have used this...

    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."

  6. Penny Arcade Yaoi! by May+Kasahara · · Score: 4, Funny

    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.
