Penny Arcade honored by home state of Washington

It seems just like yesterday that Jack Thompson was trying to get the FBI to go after the Penny Arcade team. The gaming-oriented web comic strip has surpassed it's origins, launching a highly successful game convention, running a big children's charity and even stopping to help develop an episodic game series.

This week their efforts got a big and official "thumbs up" from the state legislature in their home state of Washington. A state senate resolution, 8640, "officially recognize the accomplishments of Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik in becoming widely accepted leaders in the computer and video game industries" It certainly beats a poke in the eye. You can also check out the team's latest comic strip that's (sort of) related (and by that we mean barely related but still funny).
