Penny Arcade, Inc. started in 1998 as a simple webcomic about two roommates waiting for a game level to load. In the intervening years, it has become the undisputed king of gaming webcomics, spawning gaming conventions, video games of their own, an internet TV channel with awesome shows, and the charity Child’s Play. Since 2003 Child’s Play has raised over twelve million dollars to buy toys, books, and games for children’s hospitals around the world. There may be irony in a deeply profane webcomic starting a charity for children, but the enormity of the contribution is undeniable.

The great folks at Penny Arcade and Child’s Play have been nothing but supportive of us and our craziness.

We want to extend our utmost thanks to everyone at PA for making Desert Bus for Hope 6 possible. Jamie and Kristen will be here on Monday and Tuesday, so be sure to show them some love.
