    And if you don't know the Khoo story about how he got started with PA it's pretty amazing.

    Andrew has actually managed to make a living off his comic from what I can tell. This was not the case with PA. They had no advertising model and were literally taking donations from their fanbase to feed the till and keep them fed and clothed. They had wives.

    Khoo bought them lunch and just went to talk to them one day. They said sure, because FREE FUCKING LUNCH YA'LL. No really.

    Khoo started to ask them about their five year plan, their advertising plans, etc., etc. and they just stared blankly. He realized that they had no idea what they were doing, they were just two talented guys who made a genuinely good product, and were living off the scraps of their fans.

    So Khoo gave them an offer. He would work for them for a year and if he had earned his keep, he would be paid. If not, it would be free. So he quit his job, joined the PA crew, and the rest is history.

    PA as it stands now would not exist without Robert Khoo.

    Clearly we're not thinking on the same level here. I thought you were asking for specifics. "Take out ads and sell merchandise" is not the level of detail of I was thinking.

    Let's be fair, Khoo was a big fan of PA and he knew its potential. It wasn't a huge gamble, it was a huge wager, but when you're dealt a straight flush you go big or go home.

    I think its hit a critical point about now. The shippers are there, the porn is there, the readers are there, the con goers are there, and the fanworks and appreciation are definitely there. All it can really do at this point is gain more viewership.
