Awesome!
Today's Penny-Arcade was drawn live onstage at PAX.
Well, Gabe did the outlines before we showed up, but otherwise it was all done right thereon stage in front of us. Gabe usually sketches by hand and scans it, but as he told us he didn't have access to either a scanner or paper, so he used his Wacom tablet for all of it. As Tycho says, Gabe responded to audience requests - Div, the heart (I guess it's a running gag in the forums), the lampshade, the Bawls ball, and of course the Hot-Dog Fairy. He actually doodled one separetely from scratch before putting it on the shirt, but never saved it sadly. Gabe was bored after finishing the strip, so he went on to further modify the first panel, which Tycho says will go up later as well.
