Who Makes This?
Mike Gioia does. And my friends Jason, Alex, Theo and twin bro Anj help out. I'm 39 years old, live in New York City and have been drawing comics since high school. Check the about page for more info.

What Say You (12)
haha coins
Methinks they need facial expressions.
Took me a few secs to get panel 2, but fantastic!
don't short-change yourself; you could probably get a full quarter for a lovely gem like this one when you inevitably find yourself living in that cardbord box. (The silver lining is that at least you wont have you're morbid obesity problem anymore...)
haha teh devil write an article for the apoka-blog. i would post anything you come up with.
I don't get it :(
I like that abraham lincoln is kind of wearing a bow for this one.
Someone, it's a somewhat obscure grammar rule. Roughly "many" and "much" both mean a lot of something. If you could put a number in front of a word, you can replace it with "many" to mean some unspecified big amount. Like "many inches" instead of 6 inches, "many bananas", "many cents", etc. If a number doesn't make sense, then you use "much" like "much time", "much energy", "much sense". So the pun is basically a play on the words sense/cents, but it's revealed subtly by what Penny says in panel 2.
Incidentally, a similar rule applies to "fewer" and "less". You might say I eat "fewer" bananas than Jane, or I eat "less" healthful foods than Jane.
Quick question for Mike: is it intentional that they are "facing" away from each other? It sort of makes the impression that Nick and Penny are in a huff.
@Phil: nope, i really just grabbed two coins off my desk and drew them up. however, nick and penny are actually people's names which is funny. i'm gonna say that both the names and the facing away were pre-meditated haha
What WAS probably intentional, though, was that the coins are ages 25 and 24, respectively, which is a pretty common time to get married.
@Phil if you actually line up all coins you will see that Lincoln is the only one that faces in a different direction
Just so you know... you'd be more likely to stay off the street if you could count. this pun is six cents not five.
