    CAD would be completely forgotten if not for the Loss comic. No ome remembers VGcats and a only a handful remember Penny Arcade.

      Penny Arcade is responsible for the annual PAX expo and they've got several published books, including somehow one of the first 5E splat books in Acquisitions Incorporated. The comic itself was never good but they're involved in a weird amount of gaming coverage

      Lulwhut? PA runs multiple Cons every year. Their art is everywhere, from digital card games to table top minitures. They're still joined at the hip with WotC. And their website get 2M views daily, with revenue north of $5M annually.

      They're no longer top dog, but they're hardly forgotten.

        I only remember it because that one guy's pretentious self insert was in the poker game with Strong Bad.

      Can't remember the last time I saw VGCats referenced. Doubt it's aged well, but one of my high school buddies introduced me to it so I have fond memories of us reading it on his computer in the living room and chuckling at the strips (when Scott would actually post semi-regularly). Last I heard Scott was doing furry commissions.
