We’ve got another special guest joining us today on Alpha Flight… Jerry Holkins! Holkins writes the webcomic Penny Arcade along with its artist Mike Krahulik. Holkins sometimes uses the pseudonym “Tycho Brahe”, the name of his Penny Arcade character.

Together with Krahulik, Holkins created the Penny Arcade Expo beginning in 2004, a series of gaming festivals held in Seattle, Boston, Australia, and San Antonio. He is also a co-founder of Child’s Play, a multimillion-dollar charity which supports a network of hospitals worldwide and US domestic violence support facilities through donations of toys and games. He is also occasionally Omin Dran, CEO of Acquisitions Incorporated in the long-running Dungeons & Dragons game of the same name.

Jerry will be joining us throughout today’s Alpha Flight shift, so if you have a challenge or question for him, log in to or sign up for a Donor Account, then head on over to the Submit Challenge page to send us your request.
