Ctrl+V Derivitaries Follow-Up
November 7, 2007 at 9:53 pm | In The Webcomic Overlook, spoof | 1 Comment
Recently, a couple of readers pointed out a bone-headed error on this site. When I wrote up a review of “Ctrl+V Derivitaries,” I stated that “I know enough that the two guys in The Ctrl+V Derivitaries are supposed to be spoofs of Gabe and Tycho.”
How wrong I was.
It was pointed out that it was more of a spoof to Tim Buckley’s “Ctrl+Alt+Del.” It makes sense. The art style is the same, and the criticisms, I’m led to believe, are more applicable to CAD than to “Penny Arcade.”
And, hell, there’s even a “Ctrl” in both titles.
Gah!
This is what I get for failing to do my research. So there you go: the yelling goofballs in “Ctrl+V” aren’t spoofs of Gabe and Tyco. They’re spoofs of Ethan and Lucas. So hopefully this clears everything up and OH GOD WHY WON’T THE LAMBS STOP SCREAMING!?!?!??!!?

Well, they are obviously an amalgamation of both visually. Of course that could just be the common statement that CTRL is a Penny Arcade clone.
