Slashdot | Ask Gabe and Tycho of Penny Arcade

"From the to-your-right,-jokes-about-alcoholic-appliances dept.
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."
