I cant stop laughing at the 2nd panel, oh god. I have to look away.

However, whats with the eye color wheel?

Quantum Tiger

Hahaha!

Oh god, I can't breathe!

Evil Multifarious

this might be the best PA comic ever made.

durandal4532

Hahaha yes

they are beautiful in their own way

Neuroskeptic

This is amazing, but when I saw the first panel I was hoping the second panel would be Gabe & Tycho but drawn realistically. I think that would be even better.

agilemania

I can't look away.

Something about Mike's face reminds me of Butt-head (of Beavis and Butt-head).

That's the retina display icon, I believe.

I really hope this one has a video associated with it. You can just hear the two of them and their whole crew cracking up as Mike draws this.

ChuckWNelson

I mean no offense to Mike and Jerry about this, but this reminds me so much of Beavis and Butthead. I think it's how the eyes are drawn.

Am I wrong?

ChuckWNelson

Damn agulemania, beat me to it

Corehealer

My reaction to the second panel:



Quite possibly Mike's magnum opus.

I came here just to say that. And someone else had already done it.

Jasconius

best comic ever

Dark Raven X

Oh my.

Jerry looks like he has been drinking that crow tonic.

Jam Warrior

Oh

My

Lord

darleysam

Jerry reminds me of Gru. This comic is the best.

KalTorak

what

have

you

DONNNNNNNNNNE

ultraexactzz

This makes me incredibly uncomfortable. Well done, that.

Rorus Raz

I think this is the first time Mike and Jerry have actually been in the strip.

Lindsey Lohan

It's awesome - it reminds me of Ren & Stimpy when they would cut to a super detailed closeup of something in a more realistic style.

Santa

OH HO HO HO HO! OHHHHHHHHHH HO HO HO HO!!!!

Extra presents for Mike and Jerry this Christmas.

Sage_Catharsis

They use to have a strict rule to never draw their real selves but they caved at PAX. Only a matter of time before they did this in the comic and the Retina Display (Which looks disturbed) is the perfect excuse.

Anatole

tycho needs more red bumps on his head

edit: and gabe's teeth need to be less straight

Kagera

This explains why gabe's hair is so big. Compensating for dat nose.

dmautz

There must be a print made of the second panel. And it must have signed limited editions.

KalTorak

Jerry's slimmer than that, recently. Judging by PATV anyway.

designdb

I *must* have a 2048x2048 image of the last panel, as an iPad wallpaper... must have....

Falx

Mike I don't know if you deliberately exaggerated your caricature for comedic effect, but you're far more handsome than this.

Simon Moon

Mike's beard, oh man. Perfect.

InXplotch

I just noticed tycho says resomolutions.

My day is now over. I am going home. It is flawless.

Years in the making. I love you, Today's Comic!

TheOtherHorseman

Joshimodo

Jerry looks positively haunted.

I may be missing something, but how does this show Mike and Jerry in a strip?

Really? You really don't know?

KalTorak

My sister was in town last weekend, and since I am the only person in this family who is on speaking terms with technology, she wanted to know what kind of computer she should get. Her old one is old. It has become recalcitrant. It cannot or will not web as it once did. It was a very strange conversation, because it’s becoming very clear that for ninety-five percent of usage cases NOBODY needs a computer. She could just as easily have asked me what kind of Anvil she should get.

Invariably, the Blacksmiths in the audience are going to pipe up, their hammer levered over their shoulder, apron covered in the accumulated work of the forge, and say that anvils are the best. But I’m not saying that nobody needs one, I’m saying that almost nobody needs one. I am never bringing a computer anywhere, ever again: I have a wireless keyboard, and the case for this iPad lets it stand with the vigor of a Private at muster. It won’t pair with my “mighty mouse,” but that’s an artifact of the Jobsian era, and should be remedied forthwith.

Jerry is like a shark.

Are you really being aggressive about the words I chose to use in a sentence to compliment someone?

Are you really?

Threepio

Badly timed cup of coffee + this comic = new keyboard

FirmSkater

This is a great comic!

He is saying bald guy in panel one is clearly based on Jerry, and goatee guy in panel three is supposed to be Mike.
