I don't like the comic persay, as it revolves too much around gamer in-jokes and curse words (aka, I just don't like the premise), but I have to say, I greatly admire Gabe and Tycho for their work.
Penny arcade feels like a massive in-joke to the internet gaming industry. Insofar as there are people who don't get it, it's like Doonesbury, but all resemblance ends there, because Doonesbury is about things that matter, and PA is about things that don't.

Penny Arcade is good, but I'm still partial to Dinosaur Comics.
I just don't ever get Penny Arcade. Its the Doonesbury of our generation ... :-)
I am a casual gamer, what can I say. PA just clicks with me naturally.
I can see how penny arcade would be great... if I was a gamer, and I knew what they were talking about.
Not the greatest ever, but definitely amongst the top ones.

I use to read PennyArcade all the time at NaturalPoint..
