I have no idea which one makes more, but

1) Scott's popularity is partially related to his friendship with Penny Arcade.

2) Scott's "expertise" didn't save his best friend Kris Straub from giving up the dream and getting a job.

3) Howard Taylor has a full family, so him having financial trouble is simply more likely even if they were close in income.

I like Scott, I just wouldn't hire him for this.




Kris and Scott work in the same office in Seattle with PA and (last I checked) he didn't give up the dream; ChainSawSuit and Starslip are updated multiple times a week.

I like Scott as well, and I probably would hire him for this as he has the perspective and the willingness to get the job done, even if it offends people.

But I'm not from a syndicate and if I get my way, I'll help flush them and book publishers out of existence :D


Also, this is what Scott and Kris have apparently been up to (NSFW) http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/talent
