One of my favorite features of the most recent Penny Arcade site update is the “This day in history” window that shows you old comics from the current date. One of the strips for today is our “Grace” storyline set in the Nightlight universe.
I love all the side projects we do. Obviously. They are 100% passion projects that we do to push ourselves and tell new stories. The Nightlight setting is one we came up with when Jerry and I both had young kids. The idea is that monsters under the bed are real and every household has a person in charge of fighting them. These warriors against the dark are called Nightlights and they could be anyone in the house.
Something you might not know, is that a few years ago Jerry and I had the opportunity to sit down in a room with Gary Whitta and Eric Heisserer to write a Nightlight movie pitch. Who knows, maybe someday you’ll see Grace on the big screen.
