Fund & games

There's often this idea that there has to be a separation between fun and good. Obviously some people don't think so. (That blog and this other one by Britt Bravo helped me get started on this project.)

The good people at Penny Arcade have also proven that games and good will can go hand in hand. (note, here's a good opportunity to hit item 9 from the daily good list!) They are breaking the stereotypes of gamers and comic fans being selfish and secluding themselves from the world. J. Jacques, for example, has witnessed the power of (the Internet) community. He's won over fans with his wry sense of humor and dedication to comicking (3 years and currently 5 updates/week!). He's living the dream now, supporting himself by drawing and selling merchandise.
