Since both Gabe's art and Tycho's writing improve nicely in this second tome, featuring collected strips from the year 2001, and the inclusion of the occasional original post from the website ups on the hilarity, I was going to give this one four stars.

But then again, a quarter of the book is dedicated to showing the images of some card game they did. Now don't get me wrong, the art is great, but nearly forty pages dedicated to this in a 160 page book, without any commentary whatsoever, is a bit too much. At the very end, they show some projects that they did outside of the main comic, which is nice, but still, three stars for this effort. ( )

Oddly, I liked this one faaaar less than I liked the first volume. ( )

3.5/5

Cambiamento - e miglioramento - dei disegni rispetto al precedente volume, questa volta avevo più riferimenti per capire le vignette, anche se non per tutte.

Change - and improvement - in the drawings with respect to the Penny Arcade 1, this time I understood more references, even if not for the whole book. ( )
