I wonder if this whole 'drama' is just staged so they get more traffic.

So...even if he wasn't ripping it off at the beginning, wouldn't he still be ripping it off later on?

I play games with my roommate.

Am I ripping-off Penny Arcade?

The differences I see; CAD has continuity, a basic premise/storyline, with the odd obscure comic thrown in based on something topical.

Penny Arcade is, and always has been, random observation.  They settled on the Gabe and Tycho characters to merely illustrate many of these observations, but out of every 10 comics, there are at least 3 which don't even have Gabe and Tycho in them.

So I don't see it as ripping-off Penny-Arcade at all.

Do you mean Copper?  I love Kazu Kibuishi, his drawings are so amazing.  I have a copy of Flight, which is a compilation of his and other webcomic-makers' work.  The piece that he put in there has some of the most beautiful cartoon drawings I've ever seen.  Very surreal, very intricate.

Sorry about the randomness of this post, I just thought I'd share the link for people who have never seen it.

Possibly; are you making a web comic about it?

All joking aside, you have convinced me that CAD is not ripping off Penny Arcade.  Influenced, possibly, but not ripping off.  

Holy snaps, I just had an idea... We all know how cliche it is to have a web comic about a guy who makes a web comic, right?  Real Life did it for their intro, and it was funny the first time, but now it's old.  Given that major obsticle, I still feel this may be a good idea:

A web comic based on the drama of inter-webcomic diplomatic relations.  The characters would be parodied versions of real comic makers, with their actions in the comic reflective of their real life personalaties.

This is either one of the best ideas I've ever had or I'm going to be shot by the end of the week, one of the two.  Possibly both.
