The Inevitable

Posted by Steve on May 24, 2002: Well, we haven't really been accused of being a Penny Arcade ripoff, but i figured we might as well strike first. But really, we love Penny Arcade, so this isn't meant to be a shot at them or anything.

Posted by Bob on May 24, 2002: This was fun! I almost drew this in Gabe's style, but I thought it would make more sense in mine. I would like to do this one again someday as Gabe might, and put it up here, side by side. Maybe someday..... Oh, the guy on the right is a notably beardless Steve.

Posted by Bob on April 27, 2004: Bob's last line in this comic comes up often in conversations between Steve and I. We'll be working on a script and something won't be good. We'll hash it out, back and forth for hours, eventually settling on what we had in the first place, with one of us inevitably saying "Eh, fuck it. No one reads this shit anyway." This comic was done back when we thought people might actually read this thing-If anything, we thought we'd be accused of ripping off Kevin Smith. But, seeing as every webcomic in existence is accused of being a PA ripoff, here's out preemptive strike. Steve and I are very self depreciative...If we can shoot a hole in our own boat before someone else does, then we're covered. I don't get the PA thing though. PA is more or less a two man straight man/funny man dynamic. It's not like Gabe and Tycho originated that. How about the Honeymooners? Laurel and Hardy? Anyway, on the off chance Tycho or Gabe DOES read this, Much love and respect. That, and please don't link to us! Our site can't handle it!
