Vol 3, Page 32 – It’s Me, JC
Sir Ezra has to get the last word in, “I told you so.”
Well, this is a fine kettle of fish.
Production Notes
This page is brought to you by the ancient comic tradition of referencing Michelangelo’s Pieta and similar statues of “Virgin Mary cradling the dead body of Jesus.” Art history!
“Can a machine have a soul?” Apparently in this comic, it can. ^^
So did someone leave the battery on? If so, what happens to J.C. when it’s turned off? Is this a kettle of fish, or a can of worms? 🙂
Hint: The robot is no longer making that “chak-chak-chak” noise and spewing smoke.
I noticed that, but I thought I’d let someone else have a go at it. I hate to be greedy. 🙂
All’s fair in love and second guessing stories.
One minor detail I’ve planned to use on Robo-JC to show that he’s more than a machine is that, like many young adults, he’s incapable of standing up straight. Just call him Mr. Contrapposto. Not yet sure how I’m going to handle his lack of facial expressions. I did discover that tilting his head forward or back makes him smile or frown (as shown above). Luckily, JC plays a good straight man in this comedy troupe.
Uh. Well, there goes my tinfoil hat theory. Only to be replaced with something even crazier. Wow.
*twirls moustache* The crazy train is leaving the station for parts unknown.
Scientists. Give them an inch, they’ll take out your living brain and make you into a Cyberman.
Who wouldn’t want to be an immortal mechanical person. Join us! Join us!
I’ll admit I didn’t see it coming. 🙂
Good thing he’s around though, now the wedding can proceed as planned.
It’s a slippery slope. Next thing you know people will be trying to marry their toaster.
That’s been going on for long. Let me quote an old fisherman from one of my local comic books:
“One time a young girl walked across the ice, and when she came to the other side she was all covered in fish scales. She was the daughter of a factory owner and her mother was from another planet. _It is said that she married a concrete mixer_, but I guess that’s mostly slander. Apparently they were just engaged.”
What!? An ill-defined blood pact with an ancient evil had an unforseen twist!? I’m shocked! Shocked!
Oh, JC. He’s got a tough conversation in his future. I hope his bride-to-be is open-minded.
