Wired magazine's Chris Baker went up to Seattle, visited the Penny Arcade offices, and wrote what history is sure to consider the definitive article about everyone's favorite dorks-turned-media-superstars. Sit in on a strip-writing session! Baker's thrilling prose makes you feel you are actually there in the room with both Gabe* and* Tycho.
Or, read Robert Ashley's piece on Penny Arcade Adventures, the upcoming game based on the comics, and look at the pretty screenshots.
Then, check out Pop-Up Penny Arcade, an annotated version of two jargon-laden, reference-filled strips.
And if that's not enough, I'm going to Penny Arcade Expo tomorrow morning and will report "from the field." How exciting!
