| Yes. They have a serious grudge. I like both PA and UF, but they have vastly different foci. UF is a geek-themed (with corporate overtones) comic; PA is a gamer-themed comic. Because of this, a lot of people who "get" PA can't understand any of the humor or subject material in UF, and thus feel it is an inferior comic (This includes PA's creators). Ergo, they can't understand the success of the comic or the reasons for licensing the characters (OSS needs familiar spokespeople, too). I wonder sometimes if these kind of jabs at UF are an attempt to overshadow the butt-kissing that Tycho does in his newsposts. I guess his rationale is that he only sings the praises of the developers of great games (except in the case of John Romero) and he doesn't get paid to do it.
