When I saw that the Petition to get the Cardboard Tube Samurai into SC2 had over 14,000 signatures I started to think that maybe you guys really like him. Then My mailbox started to fill up with people asking for CTS shirts, posters and wallpapers. Generally we don't have a very good grasp on merchandising. We just aren't good at that sort of thing. Well that is about to change.
Our tireless efforts have resulted in yet another comic, which I hope will meet with your satisfaction. Barring that, approval. If that is also not possible, I would just ask that you not throw things at me and hurt my feelings.
Man, I remember when girls used to grab my crotch. It's mainly just nurses, now.
I just have a quick update today regarding the art style mostly and then it's back to Panzer Dragoon Orta.
I'm not sure if you've had a chance to check out Panzer Dragoon Orta yet, as it did only hit this Wednesday. Good god. Now, before I launch into full scale hyperbole about the game's divine heritage, we did make a comic about it that I found very amusing.
Actually, I met Blambot guy (Nate Piekos) at ComicCon last year. I got really shy, and I might have made him uncomfortable. Only in the geek world is this possible, to swoon over a man who makes typefaces.
I can't tell you how glad I am that everyone seems to dig the CBT Samurai. We are looking forward to doing a lot more with him in the future.
First off, thank you all for the great letters about today’s strip. My mail is working again which means there is no way on God’s green earth I could ever respond to all these. I want you all to know though that I did read them all and your kind words are very much appreciated. I agree with many of you that the new style is a perfect fit for Gabe’s fantasy world. Anyway thanks a bunch, you guys rock.
Something we could have touched on but didn't (because we wanted to actually play it) was, of course, Panzer Dragoon Orta. Maybe for Friday's strip? It launches today, we're going to hit the mizall and snatch a couple copies, and then it's off to either Golden Chopsticks or the Regent Chinese Bakery. I don't know which.

Fuck you Cosmix
I just jumped into the Penny Arcade isketch room a minute ago to say hi and no one believed it was me. When it was my turn to draw I pulled out my Wacom and did a quick sketch of Gabe. The same thing happens when I play MechAssault. People never seem to believe I am who I say I am. I guess there are people out there who pretend to be me or whatever. That seems pretty crazy. It seems to me like if you are going to pretend to be someone your not there are better people you can pick than me.
I don't know if you guys have heard about this new Pirate corn they've got now.
A kid dresses up as a pirate for Halloween. He goes up to a woman's house. She answers the door. He says "Trick or treat." and She replies "Ahoy there, pirate. Where are your Buccaneers?" He says "There on my bucking head, you bucking idiot!"
