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.

Re:Final Fantasy Remixed...

Yes, and the same thing is sorta being done with Mega Man with bob and george (with a great deal of odd/unusual interludes between the events in games)

I Am A Pen

[Gangis]

Every so often, one will hear the phrase "I am a pen." especially when dealing with younger Japanese. From what I understand, it's the first thing the English teachers teach the students. Even though the sentence itself is nonsencial and silly, it has a very clear structure and helps students to understand the very basic grammar.

I hope this explains the obscure joke in the heaven strip. :P
