I'm back at the main theater. I'm sitting up front waiting for Mike and Jerry to take the stage to start creating a strip for onlookers, and answer questions. They've reserved the very front of the center section for their friends and family.
As usual, I'll do my best to live blog this, but I'm relying on willy nilly WiFi connections and a cellphone that like to lock up ever few seconds. Hit the jump for photos and updates from the panel.
Jerry is writing the scropt in Notepad. Make that Wordpad.
Right now it says: Frame 1:, Frame 2: Frame 3:
(This comic is about what we think the game reviewers might be thinking when they heard about our new game coming out.)
Frame 1:
Gabe: Should we even be getting into games: We've been pretty ciscious to IGN and Gamespy.
They will be unkind.
Tycho: Gabriel, these people are professionals! I'm sure that (This line is cut off by the next panel)
Frame: 2
This panel open on a scene of INTENSE revelry. This reverly is taking place at the IGN office.
Drinks are being drunk.
A man *may* be dacing on a table.
And it goes on from there. They wrote it so quickly I couldn't keep up. They're already onto the art.

Mike says he already drew rough sketches last night. Now he's coloring it in on photoshop.
Jerry just busted out a rhyme. Now he's answering questions.
Mike just finished the first stage on the first panel, onto the second.

Jerry: When I was typing the script into my phone it has helpful suggestions for spelling. When I typed in IGN it suggested: Ignorant?

Question: Would you like some gummy frogs?
Jerry: Sure?
Mike: Um, you're not suppose to eat things people bring onto the stage.
Jerry: Shut up! Gummy frogs.
Mike: Don't eat that!
Jerry pops them into his mouth.
Jerry: Are they supposed to be salty?
Mike: And taste like Almonds?
OK, they just decided to throw a still beating human heart into the hand of one of the IGN partiers in the second panel of their strip to please a fan. I think I caught most of it on video.

Jerry: This is what I used to have to do to get him to do a strip. I'd microwave a hotdog, cut it up into little bits and put it by the computer.
Mike: You told me that was the hot dog fairy.
Coloring is just about done now.

Question: Who would you imagine being the voice actors for Gabe and Tycho.
Answer: Sean Connery and Edware Norton.... Samuel Jackson as Tycho?
OK, Mike just called out on not including a lampshade on any of the IGN folken. He's erasing the party hat to replace it with the lampshade... and now the crowd want's a PAX blue ball in the strip.
Now Mike is adding acne to the strip, a missing took and a crab claw. Huh... Yeah, that's no good.
Things just wrapped up and they're kicking us out to prep for the next event. Check out this post for the final strip and the alt version.
