Everyone has probably seen this before.
But it nonetheless amuses me. Fans of Penny Arcade have formed two "fandoms" around two completely fictional fantasy series that are only found within the Penny Arcade universe. Rival fandoms no less. With flame wars, fake lawsuits, and competing wikis. Very extensive wikis.


The strip that started it all. and The latest round.

Ah, fandom.



Also, as a general comment. My cat is on crack.

How did I miss this before? I am stuck somewhere between derision and impressed. I think it is leaning more towards impressed because, dedication. Seriously.

I like what Tycho had to say about it in Friday's newspost:

"Making something that is bad on purpose - and not bad inadvertently, which is my usual process - is a whole-body thrill. It goes hard against every natural instinct to write this way. It has the delicious and irresistible texture of sin."

The first one is... some sort of bizarre fusion of Elminster and Rincewind?

They're probably on a street corner somewhere buying kitty crack.

I think it's worth pointing out that L.H. Franzibald is an unflattering caricature of Tim Buckley of Ctrl+Alt+Del. One of the strips featuring him was even done in the four-panel CAD style.

This caused real-life wank, IIRC.

Doesn't anything that involves CAD eventually degenerate into wank? o_O

From Tycho's 01/28/09 newspost:

"After gazing out at all the wolfoids he had fucked up, Grimm Shado wondered if he had been too extreme. He shook the thought from his head. He had taken it to the limit, and that was not enough. Beyond the limit was The Extremity, and beyond that was The Danger Zone. He had only tapped into this last place once, when the Mummy Slut's curse had made him into a Daypire. He hoped that he would never have to rely on those sweet energies again.

Turning his dark glare to the last Witchalok - the Witchalok King, King Witchalok - he glowered. "Say whatever you're going to say," said Grimm. "I've got shit to do."

The Last King Of The Witchaloks coughed, witchily. He was thinking about how had just been killed by his own son, which is pretty deep. Then, he remembered something important from another book. "You have a brother, Grimm Shado. And...


...he is you."


Am I the only one who wishes to see this stunning denouement drawn in the trademark B^Uckley Style, complete with narration boxes?
