The Seattle Times has an article up about the Penny Arcade Expo.

It’s the sort of thing I’d love to go to, but I just can’t. It’s luck of the draw — I don’t live in Seattle.

Anyhow, it’s incredible to me that some webcomics generate enough income for it to be the main occupation of its creators. I guess I picture a small part of the internet as e-commerce sites, and all the rest ‘display’ sites like this one where corporations or individuals simply foot the hosting and content development costs to create an online presence.

Penny Arcade is not a commercial site, but because they’re so popular, they have opportunities to make money outside of the site. Enough, according to the article, for the two of them to live on.
