Penny Arcade is a web comic about video games that stars Tycho and Gabe, the alter egos of creators Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins. They also hold a convention called PAX, the Penny Arcade Expo. Tycho was able to appear with Strong Bad and other video game characters due to the episodic video game Penny Arcade Adventures. Although the comic has been referred to in the past, most references to Penny Arcade and PAX are due to Telltale Games involvement in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People and Poker Night at the Inventory.
