Addl. Blambot

By Tycho – January 16, 2003

Actually, I met Blambot guy (Nate Piekos) at ComicCon last year. I got really shy, and I might have made him uncomfortable. Only in the geek world is this possible, to swoon over a man who makes typefaces.

I suck

By Gabe – January 16, 2003

I completely forgot to thank Blambot for the great fonts in today’s comic strip. They make some bad ass fonts over there. I always fantasize about how cool it would be to get a custom made font just for PA. Maybe some day.

Cardboard Tube Samurai

By Gabe – January 16, 2003

I can't tell you how glad I am that everyone seems to dig the CBT Samurai. We are looking forward to doing a lot more with him in the future.

Spawn?

By Gabe – January 16, 2003

First off, thank you all for the great letters about today’s strip. My mail is working again which means there is no way on God’s green earth I could ever respond to all these. I want you all to know though that I did read them all and your kind words are very much appreciated. I agree with many of you that the new style is a perfect fit for Gabe’s fantasy world. Anyway thanks a bunch, you guys rock.

The Other Thing

By Tycho – January 15, 2003

Something we could have touched on but didn't (because we wanted to actually play it) was, of course, Panzer Dragoon Orta. Maybe for Friday's strip? It launches today, we're going to hit the mizall and snatch a couple copies, and then it's off to either Golden Chopsticks or the Regent Chinese Bakery. I don't know which.

isketch

By Gabe – January 14, 2003

I just jumped into the Penny Arcade isketch room a minute ago to say hi and no one believed it was me. When it was my turn to draw I pulled out my Wacom and did a quick sketch of Gabe. The same thing happens when I play MechAssault. People never seem to believe I am who I say I am. I guess there are people out there who pretend to be me or whatever. That seems pretty crazy. It seems to me like if you are going to pretend to be someone your not there are better people you can pick than me.

I don't know if you guys have heard about this new Pirate corn they've got now.

More pirate jokes

By Gabe – January 13, 2003

A kid dresses up as a pirate for Halloween. He goes up to a woman's house. She answers the door. He says "Trick or treat." and She replies "Ahoy there, pirate. Where are your Buccaneers?" He says "There on my bucking head, you bucking idiot!"

Pirate jokes

Pirate walks into a bar. The bartender says “Hey you’ve got a steering wheel in your crotch.” The pirate says “Arrrr it’s driving me nuts.”

Last Thing (Maybe)

By Tycho – January 13, 2003

Did you guys hear about that new Pirate movie?

I Forgot

By Tycho – January 13, 2003

My man Pork mentioned this Star Wars fan-film that I thought you might like. I'm not saying you'll agree with one hundred percent of the presentation, but I'd be hard pressed to find fault with the saber fight.

Sweet And Sour

By Tycho – January 13, 2003

Chinese food is such a critical element of our operation here that I'm surprised it doesn't come up more often. It's fundamental, and these exotic dishes inform everything we do. This strip takes place in just such a... place.
