i'm surprised yall havent published more wallpapers (especially in recent times)

From Jerry/Tycho:

"Gorb probably would, if he thought somebody would like it."

From Jack🍋:

Just in case the call to arms was too gentle there, here is Mike/Gabe's Bluesky, where folks might request wallpapers of comic panels/strips:

I draw Penny Arcade, founded the PAX gaming expo and the Child’s Play charity.

do you guys still make penny arcade books? I bought the halls below (the sixth one) at half price books and its really cool, and was wondering if you guys have them for more recent strips. Would like to have the strip that references the penny arcadelings in my comic collection specifically......

From Jerry:

"The primary reader of these books is my own daughter. As a generality, people didn't really buy them that much - I enjoyed writing them though. Alas, that is insufficient to make a business case!"

#penny arcade #webcomic #art #mike krahulik #jerry holkins #penny arcade tycho #penny arcade gabe #penny arcade books #seriously though we had the hardest time selling the books after a certain point #during our office move about a year ago we had to fill a dumpster with some of the last ones that stopped selling #it cost more to store them in the warehouse than it would to sell them all #but maybe if this penny arcade revival spreads...

Have you guys ever heard of BRAZILIAN DRUG DEALER 3: I OPENED A PORTAL TO HELL IN THE FAVELA TRYING TO REVIVE MIT AIA I NEED TO CLOSE IT? pretty cool game i recommend :3

From Jerry/Tycho:

"I have not heard of it, nor have I heard of the first two, but it sounds very dangerous. Under those circumstances, I would let someone ELSE close the favela hell portal."

#penny arcade #jerry holkins #penny arcade tycho #video games #yeah dawg gotta close your own hell portals

Have y'all played the binding of isaac

From Jerry/Tycho, but actually from pretty much everyone at PA:

"I have Blinded my share of Isaacs, yes!"

#penny arcade #jerry holkins #penny arcade tycho #video games #binding of isaac

I feel like you could absolutely do a show similar to Scooby doo, just crank the craziness to 100. An OTRSPOD series is also an option, I'd pay good money to see that turned into an animated series

From Jerry/Tycho:

"Well, if you'd pay a couple million, let's get this show on the road (rofl emoji)"

#penny arcade #jerry holkins #penny arcade tycho #webcomic #art #comedy #animated shows be hella expensive #we'd love to do it but we gotta keep the lights on at the office first

Don't know if anyone's asked this but a lot of your older posts don't have a news post with them but some of them reference a news post so I'm curious as to what's going on there.

P.S. What happened to Safety Monkey?

From Tycho/Jerry:

"Safety Monkey lives about five minutes from me! I cut through a different block because traffic was bad, and he was out there putting something in his car. We smiled at each other as I drove past."

#penny arcade #penny arcade tycho #jerry holkins #penny arcade lore #safety monkey

I can forgetting I can ask you guys stuff... uh....

You guys got a favorite Uma Musume?

From Jerry/Tycho:

"Gorbiriel and I have a fantasy where we install the game and take it way, way to seriously. As it has not happened yet, I can't name-check any of these horse girls unfortunately. Alas!"

#penny arcade #jerry holkins #penny arcade tycho #Maybe someday we'll Uma a Musume

considering the sheer amount of comics produced over such a long time, do people ever send ones and youre like "i completely forgot i even made that" ?

From Jerry/Tycho:

"Frequently. Because there are thousands of strips, it's possible to drop into any era, move forward and backward, and see shit I don't even remember writing. What's funny is that each of us rememebrs different strips. It provides a weird opportunity to actually enjoy some of the work we do for ourselves. If you don't feel the direct connection to it, it's possible to assess some of these on their merits. I am pleased to announce that a subset of our comics are kinda good!"

#penny arcade #webcomic #art #jerry holkins #penny arcade tycho #you can actually listen to this in the Patreon exclusive podcast #penny for your thoughts #shilling is my job

Ohh! Had another fun thing to ask!

Let’s say that Jerry and Mike were inserted into the Precipice universe, by whatever means, and they have to find a new profession to get by until they’re able to return home: What would said professions be?

Many thanks as always for the indulging, I really appreciate it!

From Jerry/Tycho:

"I think we already have some! I would be Tycho Erasmus Brahe, scion of the Long Project, and Gabriel would be [REDACTED], the [Redacted] - longsuffering servant of the [REDACTED]."

#penny arcade #jerry holkins #penny arcade tycho #otrspod #on the rain slick precipice of darkness

kinda random, but...

would some sort of rspod book ever be possible? like i dunno, the rspod game but in book form / better. it would probably be a long prodject (pun intended) or idk but i think the pennyarcadelings would definitely flock to it.. it could make the "joy" of rspod more accessible to those who dont have computers, but i guess it be difficult to get out there... 🤷‍♂️

sorry this was like a really quick idea that passed my mind i crave to play rspod again 😭!!

From Jerry/Tycho:

"I'm not certain. I feel like the story came to rest exactly where I would want it to. If I had to make a new chapter, I know how I would do it - just because I've done so much work on it, it seemes crazy not to consider where it would go if I had to. I guess it... Hm. Maybe I'm thinking about this wrong. I wonder if the book version of OTRSPOD is something like a serious take on LitRPG?"

#penny arcade #penny arcade tycho #jerry holkins #otrspod #on the rain slick precipice of darkness #getting jerry to do new work is hard enough so going back and redoing work like an otrspod book version feels like a recipe for disaster #Getting one of the other PA folks to do a version with his involvement though... Hmmm...

Bro holy shit I didn’t realize there was a PA renaissance popping off. Does this mean that span of a couple months in 2012 (13?) when I read through the entire back catalogue, news posts and all, will be seen as cool now or

From Jerry/Tycho:

"That's precisely what it means. And I've got incredible news for you: all that wisdom, all that lore, all that mahogany and rich woods you've picked up? It's gonna be like this, precious Moth. You;re gonne be me in panel three:

Videogaming-related online strip by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins. Includes news and commentary.

This question is for Gabe/Mike

Hi Gabe!! I hope you are doing well and fine right now!

I would like to know how you feel about the fact that a pac-man cartoon has now been announced and is currently in production

Have a nice day/night, PA crew !! ♡

From Gabe/Mike:

"[I did] not know about this but looks cool!" From Jack🍋:

Is the adjusted answer I received after passing the info along, so late from when the question was asked, that there was a first shorts episode I was able to provide him to inform his answer and now pass along to you all!

#penny arcade #penny arcade gabe #mike krahulik #pac man #totally different than “The Gabe Symbol”#we know because Bandai Namco told us it was not in fact Pac Man #This when they put “The Gabe Symbol” on DLC clothing for Soul Calibur #accidental penny arcade lore

But... but what if I don't scan things? Does that make me less of an accomplice to the atrocities that Pokemon GO is comitting?

See and read the full comic on https://penny-arcade.com !

hello penny arcade mostly through your comics i have been inspired to maybe take up comics, poke around down that path and see if it takes or not. would either of you take issue with me redrawing some of the older comics as practice? i likely wouldn't be posting them anywhere, at the very least not without being excessively autistic about the original comic also.

From Jerry/Tycho:

"Axxel - or the Quadtych that represents you in realspace - know this. My best friend Mike Krahulik, who sometimes goes by Gabriel, learned to draw from the things he enjoyed. What inspiration it was depends on the era. Garfield early, Commander Mark, then on to (largely Image) comics, then Stephen Silver... there was always art out there that met him where he was and compelled him to learn the skills that would enable him to do *that*. We have no problem with what you are attempting to do, in fact we honor it, as it is part of the cycle that produces young artists."

#penny arcade #webcomic #jerry holkins #art #mike krahulik #penny arcade tycho #we do love to see a panel redraw post so do use the hashtag #penny arcade fanart

I remember seeing tycho in a NIN shirt. I’m such a fucking WHOOOREE for nin for a lack of better word.s WHAT IS TYCHOS FAVOIRTE SONG/ALBUM. I’m drooling to know NOW

From Tycho/Jerry:

"Man. I don't even think it would be possible to put a point on it fully. I think NIN found a very young version of myself when I was just, just out of the church with an almost comically aggressive version of atheist thought? And, um, sex I guess?! I had no natural defenses to it at thhat point and so Trent Reznor ended up seizing crucial portions of my brain. Album-wise, I guess I'd have to say Broken. The CD had a weird kind of case I'd never seen before, and it's got weirdo proto-post-punk energy. Compositionally I think it gets more confident and skilled from there but I really, really like the noise."
