captainawesome:
Penny Arcade has filed for the "rights in perpetuity to any and all humorous comic interpretations and/or situations arising or inferred from the electronic entertainment industry and/or the products thereof."

This apparently affects CTRL+ALT+DEL, VG Cats, and PvP, which happen to be 3 of my favorite comics.  Somehow I feel like theres something wrong here.  How can you have the rights a subject matter?  You can't have the rights to write love songs, or to draw pretty pictures, so I don't understand how they can have all the rights to make fun of videogames through comics.

From today on, I will be boycotting Penny Arcade, due to their being the Man.

apparently cause one of Scotts comics was oddly similar to PA's comic.

Scotts



Tychos

jeph:
They're not even that similar. So they both did a joke about the dealer guy in RE4. Each strip has a completely different premise.
