I was able to hang out at the Penny Arcade table for a bit and chat with Mike before the floor opened to attendees at this past SD Comic Con. I stopped by hoping that my friend Kiko (former co-worker who left our old job to go do fun stuff with PA) would be there. Kiko did not attend the con
so I was forced to talk with Mike. I have met Mike several times over the years but for some reason I never get to meet Jerry. In fact even after I hung out after the floor opened and had a great chat with Mike, Jerry was still a no show. We were Jerry-less, Jerryfree, Sansjerry. There was even a guy in line named Ben, but no Jerry. So I left my book to get signed and returned to my table in Artist Alley (in Exhibit Hall G about 5 miles away from the PA booth).
I mention this for no other reason than to set the tone. For some reason over in Artist Alley, I set Jerry's hair on fire. Not literally. Just drew a quick comic strip featuring Gabe (Jerry's avatar I guess you could say) getting his hair set on fire by accident. I have no malice toward Jerry and I don't know if he covers himself in flammable gel each day. If he had shown up on time, I could have asked him and the strip would most likely have gone a different direction. But since I did not get to see him, I can only make assumptions about him and his hygiene habbits.
Mike if you see this, it was great seeing you again and actually getting to talk to you for a bit and yes, I am definitely interested in PAX. Jerry, maybe next time. Kiko, sorry to miss you again but Mike gave me a hug so I don't have any abandonment issues at this time. Catch you guys later.
Without further delay, my comic setting Gabe on fire:

Kohse, thanks for stopping by. Mike and Jerry (and Gabe and Tycho) don't really read the forums--least of all the Art Corner, but feel free share your work or post anything you need critiques on. That's what we do around here. It's sort of our thing.
I was actually just hoping to say hi to Kiko. If you guys want to critique stuff, I'm new to the whole webcomic thing. Feel free to rip into mine. I actually started it because Kiko had mentioned that it would make a great webcomic (albeit years ago before he left for PA).
I love feedback. Helps me know what directions to take with potential stories. I'm still playing with the character styles since cartoony is not how I draw in my day job. http://kindergoth.com/
Thanks for the help.
