Would Have Been Nicer if They Had Game Boys.

So now that the holiday season has ended the annual push for donations to Child's Play has ended as well. Child's Play Is a charity started by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins, the creators of Penny Arcade. Every year they have a huge charity drive to raise money to buy toys and games for children's hospitals all over the world. Last year they raise nearly three million dollars. Their whole philosophy is that a hospital would be a whole lot less scary of a place if they were cool things to play with. As someone who spent a fair bit of my childhood in hospitals I caan relate to their train of thought.
On a side note when I originally wrote this comic it was a conversation between Jeb and Danny, and only be three panels long. However I felt it lacked a solid punch line, so I added the line in the fourth panel. Then I thought to myself, that's too mean, Jeb wouldn't say that, but Brad would. However in the second panel Jeb was originally going to correct Danny by saying "geneses," the proper plural of genesis. Then I thought to myself, Brad wouldn't say that, he's too stupid to know that. I just found that interesting, the process of making this comic was a little microcosm of how the character interact with each other.
