The college roommate webcomic is a reference to the webcomic | <p><b>From:</b> <a href="/index.php?title=web_comics" title="web comics">web comics</a><br/> | ||
''' | <b>Posted on:</b> 20:46, 8 October 2007 (UTC) | ||
</p><p><b>Arguments for:</b> | |||
</p> | |||
<ol><li>Strong Bad looks similar to Gabriel and the text balloons seem to be modelled after it. | |||
</li><li>Penny Arcade is one of the most prominent gaming webcomics. | |||
</li><li>Penny Arcade most likely started the whole "slickly drawn college roommates make nothing but video game inside jokes" webcomic trend. | |||
</li></ol> | |||
<p><b>Arguments against:</b> | |||
</p> | |||
<ol><li>Strong Bad's point is that there are far too many webcomics about video games and would therefore not be making a reference to one specific one. | |||
</li><li>TTATOT - Many comic strips have similar fonts/word balloons/drawing styles. | |||
</li><li>The character that sounds like Strong Sad doesn't look like Tycho. | |||
</li><li>Rattling off hardware and software technologies doesn't seem like Penny Arcade. It sounds like more of a computer geek joke than a video game joke. | |||
</li></ol> | |||
<p><b>Additional comments:</b> | |||
</p> | |||
<ul><li>What webcomic is the Strong Sad character based on? He looks familiar to me, but I can't pin it down. | |||
<ul><li>His pasty skintone reminds me of one of the mains from PvP, but I'm not sure as I don't actually read it. | |||
</li><li>He looks like Tycho in real life. See picture: <a class="external autonumber" href="http://torvald.gjovaag.com/TrollECCC_GabeAndTycho.jpg" rel="nofollow" title="http://torvald.gjovaag.com/TrollECCC_GabeAndTycho.jpg">[1]</a> | |||
