Ask Gabe and Tycho of Penny Arcade
If you're a gamer or a fan of online comics, you've likely already heard of Penny Arcade. Mike "Gabe" Krahulik and Jerry "Tycho" Holkins have been writing and drawing their comic for almost exactly six years under the PA name and in that time they've grown into something of a representative voice for the gaming community. An honesty in dealing with the delays, hype, and frustrations of being a gamer has made their comic into a shared experience for dorks the world over. Recently they've been involved with their games-for-kids charity Child's Play, contract work for game-specific comics, and efforts to improve the grammar of forum posters. They've kindly agreed to answer our questions, so ask away. One question per comment, please. We'll send the best on to the gents and post their responses as soon as we have them.
Because when they were originally designed, they weren't supposed to be representing the creators, they were just these two guys. The two guys becoming Tycho and Gabe just kinda happened over time.
Testimonial and tutorial.
The post is a reference to this Penny Arcade strip.
I'm sure "SlashdotMedia" will improve on all the wonders that Dice Holdings blessed us all with

You may be wondering why the Elf Only Inn comics are there. On Valentine's Day of this year, PA and EOI did cross-over comics.. The EOI version was a blind date between the Fruit Fucker and one of the characters.
There is also a more recent Fruit Fucker comic but the site is too slow now to search for it. Enjoy.
