Has Penny Arcade an exclusive deal to make web-comics about games?

Are other web-comics no longer allowed to make jokes about games and the game industry?
Is this for real, or just a joke.
My bullshit meter is shaking like an asian tectonic plate, here.

Maybe they're setting their readers up for a big joke on April 1st, when they say something true, and no-one believes them.

It must be true, because I have just acquired the exclusive right to use sarcasm (for the US region), and I'll sue the ass of anyone who infringes.

Anyone who wants to draw bulging eyes, slightly overlapping will have to obtain the rights off me first.

Oh man, CMON! I'm sorry, but I can't believe anyone actually thought that they had bought EXCLUSIVITY rights... for comics about VIDEO GAMES!

Think about how impossible that would be! It was a JOKE.

Sheesh.
