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.

Read the next but one post, after the sketch.

Your bullshit meter was right to be a-shakin'.

[jetxl]

aha.
Making jokes like this, and it isn't even april 1st.

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.

[sarcasm] That's mighty big of you. [/sarcasm]

Anyone who wants to draw bulging eyes, slightly overlapping will have to obtain the rights off me first.
Matt Groening is going DOWN!

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.

[Bombadil]

You all are going down. I've recently adquired the rights of creating ADVENTURE GAMES... So I'll post my bank adress so all of you can start paying for the rights...
