So far, I've created four morose robot strips. If you like them, please leave a comment. Thank you.

morose robot by alliterator 9-29-03

This is my first comic strip. What should I say? I don't know. Think of something funny. I don't know anything funny. I'm a robot. Well, don't look at me! I'm just the sidekick! Um... I think cheese is funny. Oh dear god. Thank Asimov this is just three panels.

morose robot II: sidekick blues by alliterator 9-29-03

What should I do for my second strip? How the !@#$% should I know?! I'm just a goddamn sidekick! The second strip has to be funnier than the first, but I can't think of anything funny, because I'm a robot. Oh for Heinlein's sake. I'm so tired of this crap. I'm leaving. Was it something I said?

morose robot III: search for a new sidekick by alliterator 9-29-03

Hello, Miss... Neck. Redda Neck. I'm looking for a new sidekick, so I'm wondering if you have any special talents. Well, I can drink enough beer to kill a small horse. Meanwhile, in the mountains... Ah, sweet, fresh air!

morose robot IV: the never-ending search by alliterator 9-29-03

The search continues... Special powers? I can hold things together and you can twist me into weird shapes when you're bored! ...and continues... Reason for leaving past job? Uh... work related difficulties. ...and continues... *sigh* Look at me! Look at me! I'm like a tiny you! Whee!

Some more. Remember, replying makes you cool.

morose robot V: Next! by alliterator 9-29-03

What's your name? I am Bjouyakorgl from the Eighth Ring of Xarglusbig Must be a nice place to live. Yes. It has a great view of the Black Hole of Yenpreth Can I ask your reasing for leaving such a beautiful, er, planet? I blew it up.

morose robot VI: hipcat mccool by alliterator 9-29-03

Yo, my bro, you sho' got the good digs and threads in this house, man. Excuse me, but what's your name? Mine's Hipcat McCool. And what's yours? Uh... I don't think I have one. Thas cool.

morose robot VII: what's in a name? by alliterator 9-29-03

I don't have a name? I'm the star of my own comic strip and I don't even have a name? Well, sure you have a name, you just haven't found it yet. Really? So, Hipcat, what do you think my name is? Hmm.... this is a tough question. I'd give you a really, really hip name... like Melvin. Melvin?!

Not too bad. There were a few funny ones in there.

Thank you. And now one more.

morose robot VII: D.U.I. by alliterator 9-29-03

I don't think I can use the name Melvin. Why not? Well, I'd probably get sued by Douglas Adams's lawyers. Meanwhile... I swear, I didn't have more than a two or three drinks... or maybe seven. But that's all!

You've got some pretty good stuff, keep it up! =D

Thanks! And now more from our nameless (except Hipcat) characters.

morose robot VIII: community service by alliterator 9-30-03

In court... Oh, thank Asimov! Listen, I talked to the judge and he's sympathetic with you. He says you can work your debt off with community service. What do I have to do? I'll do anything. Well, he thinks the reason you went bad was that you weren't a sidekick anymore. So, he's going to pair you up with somebody. Meanwhile... No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Harold? Arnold? Peter? Richard? Irene? Jimmy? George? William? Jake?

morose robot IX: contrivance is a wonderful thing by alliterator 9-30-03

Gee, I wonder who my new partner will be? The judge wouldn't reveal who it was, but said it was a robot, like me. I hope it's a girlbot!

morose robot X: angry red by alliterator 9-30-03

You! You're my new partner! I've can't believe this! Of course! Who do they partner me up with? The 'bot who got me drinking in the first place! Well, aren't you going to say anything? Can we go back to the green background? I like the green background.

morose robot XI: sidekicks new and old by alliterator 9-30-03

Who are you? I'm Hipcat McCool, the new sidekick! Well, sorry to say this to you, but unfortunately I am the new sidekick. Thas cool. Now you can help me find out what that 'bot dude's name is. I was think Melvin, but... Name? No, no, no. We're robots, so he has to have a name like TY-87 or the Urinator. Are you sure it's even a he?

Coming soon: A new character is introduced (and she's a girl)! The names of the robots are finally revealed (and you'll never guess how)! Hipcat dies (did I just give that away?)!
