Warbot 13: Checkers - Page 4

I've noticed a recurring theme for warbot is people talking about how good a machine is when it does what it's designed to do. Sounds like pretty ominous foreshadowing to me.

I think it's just making Warbot feel even worse, because he CAN'T do what he was designed to do.

I don't care if he gets fired and goes on a homicidal rampage. He picked up a checker! Without smashing anything! Look how big and excited his eye is!

This changes everything. Our cruel overlord can't inflict the pain quite like he used to anymore. Because now no matter what, I can always still think, "Yeah, but dammit, he picked up that checker."

it kind of weirded me out that there was a recurring character in this one, and also a reference to a prior comic (that whole Yutani account thing.)

I guess this is the part of the comic where you go from extremely clever little snippets and move towards a more organized, continuum based story?

I have to say that this has been by far my favorite work by the author, but I can't figure out whether transitioning from a very basic premise to an actual plot will hurt or help the series. I think it speaks well of the concept that I am willing to find out.

I think Warbot has the stuff to take it to the next level, bring on the seasonal story arcs, love interests, arch nemesis's's and various other traipsings of comic reality, he shall endure!

(or I guess just keep beating on the poor fellow until he destroys the city, that'd work too.)

Second to last panel, Red Mage and Elan popped in my head shouting "Dun dun DUNNNNNN!"
