Work-in-Progress

YES, I am aware there were a few small coloring mistakes in the last update. I fixed them. That is all I have to say on that.

And here’s a helpful little key to show you what I was thinking with all the robots in the last strip, if you couldn’t tell:

Click for a bigger version.
  1. Little Miss Mechanical, a vaguely steampunk figure from the early 1900s. You’ll be seeing her again.
  2. I have no idea.
  3. Helper from The Venture Bros. and/or Sarah Plain and Tall.
  4. Monitor-head design, a la Canti from FLCL and The One Electronic from Rice Boy.
  5. ENIAC.
  6. A vacuum cleaner. Har har.
  7. ASIMO in girl’s underwear.
  8. A tin robot toy.
  9. An 18th-century mechanical automata. Very intricate, but it can’t do much but curtsy and dance in place.
  10. A Dalek. But a very sweet Dalek, to be sure.
  11. A battle bot. For battling.
  12. The little-girl version of Maria, from Metropolis.
  13. Battle Angel Alita.
  14. A 1960s-style, Robbie-inspired model. But cuter.

I hope you found that informative. Because that’s all I feel like typing.

    I would have sworn #8 in your early “meet the gang” strip was from explodingdog.com
