He's driving a convertible in the rain.

He's clearly depressed. That's what that means, right? Depression.

For those that forgot

Obviously the biggest announcement of PAX this year was Duke Nukem Forever. There was another announcement though that you might have missed. During our very first Q&A of the show we took the stage with Scott Kurtz to announce a brand new comic strip called the Trenches.

This will be a thrice weekly webcomic that will appear on its own site. It is written by Tycho, myself and Scott. The bulk of the art duties will be handled by Scott with a little help from me. I have to say that collaborating with Scott on the character designs and the visual style of this strip has been a blast. I think if you look at the result you’ll see a really cool combination of both our styles. The comic itself will follow the lives of a group of game testers. The Trenches is a character driven strip with solid continuity. We’re actually approaching it as if we were writing a sitcom.

We’ve been writing for a few weeks now and I already love these people. I can’t wait for you to meet them.

"Isaac Cox"

I get it.

First thought: That man has a very nice car for somebody who is unemployed. He must have had a swank job before the economic collapse.

Second thought: That application doesn't seem to be any worse for wear from sitting in a convertible with the top down in a rain storm. Panel must be taking place at some earlier or later time.

I'm intrigued and the art looks good.

I guess we will see more soon!

Henroid

This is pretty much what I've been waiting for. G&T collaborating with Kurtz. :^:

FINALLY

They would soon lean that a bunch of people were doing it already, and they did not like those people. Then, they liked some of them. After they fought seriously again one more time, Mike, Jerry, and Scott decided that being friends was considerably less work. Maybe they’d even work one something together, someday.

Bogey

I'm excited that this is finally happening!

Best of luck on the endeavor!

SabreMau

So, is this comic going to get its own SE++ threads or does it fall under the jurisdiction of the general webcomics thread?

Rankenphile

I am thrilled about this.

Thetheroo

This is still happening?

I am very excited.

Centipede Damascus

I feel like as long as this has been in development, there ought to be a few strips to start out with instead of just one.

Very nice looking though!

Framling

You know, I was just thinking you guys didn't do enough shit, what with the comic, and all the web serieseses, and the convention, and the charity, and the scholarship...

That's actually a good question. Would it make us have new comic threads daily, or would this be separate from the PA comics?

jeremywc

Looks great! Any chance of getting an RSS feed added to the site?

UTSquishy

I created an account to say the same thing, by the time I got back jeremywc had beaten me to it.

What can't you ever just say something nice about me? Always ghoul this, harpy that. My mother was right about you!

PROX

Cheers.

Thetheroo

We'll have new guests?

From PVP?

Better welcome them properly.

IT IS TIME

mysterycycle

Sweet! I've been looking forward to this collaboration for a while. I'm excited to add a new comic to my morning reads!

...as soon as the RSS feed is up.

Goose!

Cool stuff!

Munkus Beaver

So is the plot for the "first season" of the Trenches already written out? It's been a year since the announcement, has it just taken that long for it to gather steam or has it been in production behind the scenes?

Artreus

I remember hearing about this forever ago.

I'm glad to see that it is a thing now.

Goose!

Is there going to be making of featurettes on PATV like Fourth Panel for PA strips? That would be neat.
