Robots Are People, Too #3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s a useless fun fact to start off my ramble:\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve been going through my old comics recently, trying to see what I can sell or otherwise get rid of, when I came across my sole copy of Heavy Metal.\u00c2\u00a0 Oddly, the cover did not have giant robotic breasts on it, which I thought was a requirement for that magazine.\u00c2\u00a0 This comic has one giant cyborg breast, so I guess it’s not the same thing, but it’s the thought that counts, right?\u00c2\u00a0 Greg Vondruska is all over the place in this one, to the point where it will be easier for me to point out the stories that Greg doesn’t take part in more than anything else.\u00c2\u00a0 Stories in here include Flesh Or Me (Greg, Steven Mangold & Jim Fern’s tale of a robot trying to become human after humans have given up on themselves), Phobo Agogo (Frank DiBari’s piece on the universe expanding too much to keep up with), Face The World (Greg’s simple silent story of a robot trying to keep a brave face), The Whole World (Frank and Greg’s… I can’t say anything without giving away that great punch line), Facebots (Fran Matera and Greg with a silent series of robot faces), and The Helpers (Penny Clark and Greg’s piece explaining that cover image).\u00c2\u00a0 There are also three Rodney strips (by Jason Franks, Greg and J. Marc Schmidt), , as Rodney joins a cult, goes on a date and gets a makeover.\u00c2\u00a0 These pieces are quickly becoming a favorite of mine, as what’s not to love about a sentient computer trying to explain the flimsy differences between religion and cults, his trying to use logic to convince a woman that dating a computer would be a good thing, and his trying not to be vain for a makeover.\u00c2\u00a0 Another solid issue, and I see no reason why there can’t be a million of these robot comics out there in the world.\u00c2\u00a0 Greg might need to get the word out to more comics creators, assuming he hasn’t given up on this, so if you have a robot story up your sleeve, why not contact the man?\u00c2\u00a0 $4<\/p>\n
