Penny Arcade taught me to draw


Gabe and Tycho (Mike and Jerry), the characters/creators of Penny Arcade, made for a fine highlight of last weekend's NYComicCon. Their Q&A session was hilarious, particularly when answering my question about whether or not the two of them are friends in real life. (Look out for the audio to that and other parts of ComicCon soon at nygeekcast.com)
Also fun was their panel on how to draw comics. Though intended for younger kids, it was really enlightening. In fact, the only time it got boring was when the talk was highjacked by 20-something-year-olds wanting to ask ridiculously unnecessary questions about the anti-alias nature of Photoshop. Just Google some tutorials and let the little kids learn how to draw faces.

Anyway, I want to thank them for coming to the east coast, and say how excited I am about the next PAX.
