The Comic: Here There Be Robots

By: Jeremy and Jonah Gregory

Type: Issue series (currently 4 regular-size issues and a "half-issue" set between issues 1 and 2)

Content Rating: G.

Plot: Oscar and Rob are a pair of aliens sent on a diplomatic mission to Earth, to land, make first contact, and hopefully establish peaceful relations. Adam, Steve, and Lackey are a trio of robots bent on world domination (what else, right?). Naturally, the robots happen to be the first people Oscar and Rob come across...which through a complex series of accidents leads to an explosion so large it transports all five of them back in time to the golden age of piracy. Adam decides to use this to instead take over the world ahead of schedule, as a robo-buccaneer, while Oscar and Rob puzzle out a way to fix this whole mess. Yes, this whole thing is a fusion of aliens, robots and pirates, and while that sounds like a setup for a terrible internet joke (all we're missing are ninjas and zombies), believe me when I say it actually works.

Personal Thoughts: I'm actually kind of ashamed that this comics feature has gone on for this long without me bringing up Here There Be Robots. I've been behind Jonah and Jeremy since they started on this comic, and their history at Emerald City Con is about as long as mine (I still have the xeroxed promo comic they were handing out at what I think was the first ECCC I went to). I especially love the amount of texture work that's put into the inking, art-wise. Yeah, yeah, this is another loose and light, fun humor comic, and I know I've been featuring a lot of those (for sure this time), but there's nothing wrong with that. Regardless I promise that next Sunday Comics will have something more brain-heavy. But for the now, if you have any inkling of fondness for aliens, robots, pirates or all three, give this a go. That goes double if you live in Seattle, where the creators hail from. Get out there and support you some art!

MUNCHOR APPRECIATED THE UNIQUE SPICES OF THIS DISH BUT DISLIKED HOW THE ROBOTS WERE PORTRAYED AS THE ANTAGONISTS. WANTING TO DESTROY AND/OR ENSLAVE AND/OR GENTLY HIT ALL HU-MANS IS NOT ALWAYS A BAD THING.

MUNCHOR WILL NOW CONTINUE HIS BACKGROUND ROLE OF APPEARING IN THE WRITING BOX'S TITLE BANNER. SQUISHY MEAT UPDATES WILL RESUME THEREAFTER.

[MUNCHOR IS LOGGING OFF.]
