* TorchesAndPitchforks: One strip revolved around the gamers in attendance of Nintendo's UsefulNotes/DSi launch eventually revolting and attempting to lynch the spokesman for his focus on inane hardware ideas no one cared about.

Mission Accomplished. Their comics are mostly obscure internet/video game/ 80's references that go terribly, terribly funny in 0.8 panels. Scott Smith is known for being the writer, while Hepting is the artist of all of the comics. Some recurring characters include:

* DrivenToMadness: In one strip [[StarTrek Mr Spock]] is finally driven to insanity by the buffoonery and flagrant disregard for not only the rules but even common sense exhibited by Captain Kirk and the Enterprise crew.

* {{Hiatus}}: Unoffically, at least. The Scotts disappeared for a while, but recently posted on their Twitter accounts that they haven't died yet. Smith said that ''PennyArcade''[='=]s ''Strip Search'' makes him want to start it back up again.

* Keith, Brett, Max and Ashley: A group of gamers parodying both the original cast of CtrlAltDel, and gamer comics in general, including pointing out that basing a relationship entirerly on a shared love for video games is a VERY poor idea, and that keeping a homicidal robot as a sidekick would backfire spectacularly.

* TorchesAndPitchforks: One strip revolved around the gamers in attendance of Nintendo's DSi launch eventually revolting and attempting to lynch the spokesman for his focus on inane hardware ideas no one cared about.

* ActionGirl: In a parody of PiratesOfTheCaribbean, the pirates point out that Elizabeth can't possibly fight on the same terms as them, who have years of experience in both combat and naval life, not to mention the added benefits of more upper body strength, while she has been an upper class noblewoman up until a few months ago.

* PottyEmergency: Hepting spends the entire EndersGame parody arc trying desperatly to find a bathroom before his bladder explodes. There was one on the space base, but he couldnt understand the signs. When they finally get back to Earth, Smith occupies the bathroom, and Hepting finally dies of sceptic shock.

Most of the comics are written in a surreal world where anything goes (Including the ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|Reimagined}}'' being taken over by [[http://www.theslackerz.com/index.php?nav=Comic&Page=99 Puppies. On. Bicycles.]]), but some take place in the real world (or a parrallody world) based on real events. But, yeah, most of them are all about video games. There was even a bit of controversy about this, or so a few of the comics would lead one to believe.

* The Evil CEO: A CorruptCorporateExecutive who's baffling approach to management satirizes all poor/incompetent/sadistic business decisions made in the media world, such as the cancelling of {{Firefly}} and causing the 2007 Writers Guild Strike.
