"Yeah, yeah. I hate you. Whatever."
Tycho is a main character from the Penny Arcade comic, alter ego of co-creator Jerry Holkins.
Tycho's first official interaction with Homestar Runner was in the Telltale crossover game Poker Night at the Inventory, featuring Tycho and Strong Bad among the participants of a poker tournament at an exclusive club called The Inventory.
An earlier version of Tycho's Poker Night model had been shown at Make a Scene with Telltale at PAX 2010, an interactive panel hosted by Telltale Games that allowed attendees to write and voice a dramatic scene as a demonstration of the Telltale Tool game engine. In this scene, Tycho and Marzipan are murder suspects.

Strong Bad mocks Tycho personally, as well as the webcomic (calling it a Geocities "fansite-for-babies"), and PAX (a "rinky-dink dinky-shrink"). In response, Tycho mocks Strong Bad's computers and games, hands, and dating life. He also calls him a "chuwero", a made-up racial slur which originated from a
