little gamers
Apparently, there's some sort of similarity between little gamers (little-gamers.com) and 2 guys sitting on a sofa holding game controllers. Okay, screw that, there's a lot of similarity between the two. Within an hour or so of 2 guys going live, I was told it looks a lot like little gamers. So far, I've had about five submissions saying anything from it looks like little gamers to I'm ripping off little gamers and when they find out, they're going to sue my ass. A LiveJournal commenter wondered if it was a dig at little gamers. The comic strip was mentioned in Comixpedia, where they mentioned the "vaguely little-gameresque characters".
The strange thing is, I didn't even read little gamers until that first reader pointed it out to me.
Anyway -- I had a brief e-mail conversation with one of the guys behind little gamers. My message to him and a general addressing of the similarities between our two strips can be found on a brand new page with a lot of words.
Now I've got to play catch-up with PE(aott)...

The supposed origins of "2 guys..." are just a cover-up for the fact that you wanted to base a strip around the story of Howard Cunningham's troubled youth. Hence the fez.
Tom Bosley's lawyers will, no doubt, be on the phone as soon as they find a leg to stand on.
