The Bad Boys Of Punctuation

By Tycho – July 7, 2003

I love Mr. Period so Goddamn much, and now, you get a chance to see all his rowdy friends. While I mess around with Gabe about commas or what have you, my own mechanical understanding of written language is pretty terrible. I do things with hyphens that make professors faint straight away, and then I turn around and use the embodiment of punctuation in the strip. There are plenty of other errors in Gabe's letter that are left undiscussed, you may think of them as extra credit.

Not Just Bears

By Tycho – July 4, 2003

I have all kinds of pictures.

I sure wish I could spend the day browsing for pictures of bears on Google instead of working on new T-shirt designs for Penny Arcade. It must be nice.

Don't start with me.

I guess I misspelled one word. I am so fucking sorry. I sure hope the spelling police don’t come and get me. Honestly I’m surprised you even saw my post, what with your busy morning of not putting up a news post until nine in the morning. Funny, the comics always go up by midnight.

Oh?

By Tycho – July 4, 2003

You must have a different spell-checker than I do, one that includes non-existent words. Craptacualr? Is that some kind of bear?

Fuck you

By Gabe – July 4, 2003

I did spell check it asshole.

Whoa!

By Gabe – July 4, 2003

Well my art auction that I mentioned yesterday is still going on for a few more days. I really appreciate those of you bidding exorbitant amounts of money but I want to make sure you understand that if you win the auction, that number you bid represents the amount of real money you will need to pay me. Honestly though I am flattered that so many of you find my work so desirable. Maybe if I wasn’t such a pack rat you’d see auctions like this more often than once ever couple of years.

Sign me up

Activision should have started a class action lawsuit against Viacom. Then all of us could have signed on and got some damages from this shit. Something like this maybe?"

Did I just invent a new word? Or was it already there?

A Unique Predicament

By Tycho – July 4, 2003

Did any of you catch this Viacom/Activision shit? We found it fascinating, and utilizing a mysterious procedure we converted this fascination into strip form. Essentially, Activision is suing Viacom because Star Trek sucks. It's strange, because I've been thinking about the intersection of Videogames and Star Trek a good deal lately. I am not the guy that knows the names of all the episodes, but I do have what I think is a healthy affection for this "franchise." Healthy, of course, being a relative term.

Original Art Auction!

By Gabe – July 3, 2003

The last time I sold original artwork on Ebay was probably two and a half or three years ago. I don’t sell original artwork for two reasons. One, I hate to part with my drawings. I like packing them away in boxes and stuffing them in the closet. In fact, I still have drawings I did in the fifth grade. The second reason I don’t sell art is because I am embarrassed. I remember about a year ago I saw a drawing by Prio fetch some un-Godly sum of money and I thought “well that’s it, you can never auction off a drawing again.”

I'm back

By Gabe – July 3, 2003

I just got back from Spokane this afternoon. It’s not a super long drive, only about 4 and half hours or so but it’s really ugly. When people think of Washington State my guess is they think of green trees and snow capped mountains. Well the fact is that accurately represents only about 10 percent of Washington. The other 90 percent is ass ugly desert and farm land with nothing to look at except cows and dust clouds.
