That's awesome and sweet.

I like Penny-Arcade and recently the artist has this...I can't put my finger on it, but some of his expressions have a subtlety that is both impressive for his growth, but also extremely effective for the comedy of the strip. I love Gabe's final expression in panel 3, it's of such childlike joy.

Speaking of which, he told a story in their blog thingie about going to Pokemon tournament. It warmed my heart. More fans should remember what it is to love and not just "collect & judge" something.
