PAX 07: The Penny Arcade Panel II: Panel Harder


Because there was so much to do at PAX that some fans may have missed their chance to pose questions, Mike and Jerry held a second panel. By the time they came out (to strobe lights and "Hustlin'"), there was already a massive line of inquisitive attendees. No Bolls this time, so the mood was much more celebratory and less terrifyingly unstable.

The highlight of the show was when a fan presented Mike and Jerry with hand made hats in the shape of the head of the Fruit ... Interactor-with, which both wore proudly (of course the picture didn't come out-- how dare they have an event in a dark room with bright lights directly on them.)

Is it rude to print their responses to the question "What was the worst thing you ever did?" I guess not, since they revealed it in front of a throng. Mike, at age 8 or 9, snared his cat with a rope. He turned to his mother in the audience to ask if she knew about that-- she didn't, to which Mike responded "Great." Jerry couldn't think of any particularly horrible things he'd done, so Mike regaled us with the tale of Jerry finding, and biting into, a beetle in his chai tea, and continuing to drink the tea.
