Mike Krahulik is one of the most dedicated webcomic artists around. He has put a lot of effort in his craft and it shows.

That’s the mark of a true artist.

@ZB: The new, simple style conveys their emotions and personalities better; If you’ve ever seen them live, you know that they are snarkastic bastards and hella funny. The old style had them pinned as “Foxtrot” or “Family Circus”-type interchangable characters with humor as dry as Ann Coulter’s mangina.

The interesting thing is that, according to “Attack of the Bacon Robots,” that comic was written for a contest before the strip was really created, explaining why it looks so different from the regular comics of that era.

I’m not even all that much into video games but I love keeping up with Penny Arcade–it’s fresh, interesting and entertaining. I love your points about persistence and dedication.

Kinda puts my puny one to utter, disappointing shame.

Just a correction here, Mike Krahulik is the artist.

Good article, otherwise.
