As I was sitting down to watch the latest insane ramblings of Glenn Beck via YouTube the other day, I was thrown for a second when a Scott Kurtz designed t-shirt popped on screen next to Mr. Beck's mentally addled head.

How To: Get A Gig As Cover Artist For Stephen King
Step 1: Publish a highly successful and popular webcomic like, say, Penny Arcade.

At the very least, I suppose it's raising public awareness of the series and [...]
