Panel 4: Fred and Freida (A pair of stick figures) are at a table playing ping pong. Freida is serving the ball. Fred: How do you think The Bob is doing? Freida: Should be fine. He is a very competent robot. Panel 2: The game has gotten so intense that Fred is on a ladder while Freida dangles by one arm from a large satellite dish in the lab. Freida: So long as he doesn’t come in contact with his weakness. Fred: Yes, but where would they even get a pool of lava? Panel 3: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) dangles from one leg above a pool of lava. Arf (a shaggy mop of a dog) clings to him in concern.

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) and Arf (a shaggy mop of a dog) stand in front of an unopened door. Littered on the ground are a Power Saber thrust into the ground, a modern battering ram, a flaming container labeled “caution”, and a TNT detonator with its plunger pressed. Bob: I don’t’ know what to do, Arf. Panel 2: Bob: No matter what I try, I cannot break this door down. He places his had on the doorknob in frustration, where a click can be heard. Panel 3: The door stands open. Bob looks back to Arf who is nodding in agreement. Bob: We tell no one about this.

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) stands with Arf (a shaggy mop of a dog) in front of an ordinary door. Bob is holding a handle up. Bob: I don’t know what material it is made of. Panel 2: The handle erupts into a blade made of energy. Bob: But my Power Sword is supposed to cut through anything. Panel 3: Bob attacks the door with his saber, but instead of cutting through it just gives a hollow sound as Arf’s eyes go wide. Arf: ARF? Bob: Oh no.

I woke up this morning to a wonderful surprise. I could not believe that @chiitan.love of all beings had found my adventures, let alone liked one of them.
A notification showing that Chiitan liked one of my comics.

I named my fists Robot and Worm because I am a robot worm.

...Wait

I named myself Kingfisher and Snake-Eater be cause kingfishers eat snakes.

This is hard. Human things are weird.
tkingfisher.com Kingfisher & Wombat @tkingfisher.com · 10d
I named my fists Hercule and Poirot because they’re about to be covered in someone’s little grey cells.

…also because I prefer to sit in an armchair and let my burly sidekick actually do the physical work.

I named my fists Pride and Prejudice, because it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of two fists must be in want of whupping ass

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) stands in the middle of a ruined street. A flaming barrel, overturned husk of a car, and broken street sign can be seen. Bob: The Henchmen have already been at it. I need to get to the thing. Panel 2: Panel zooms closer to Bob. A strange shadowy creature can be seen peeking at him from behind the car. Bob: The thing is on Campbell St. but they’ve damaged the city too much. Panel 3: Closeup on Bob. He is looking at the broken sign that says Joseph and Campbell. The creature eyes him intently. Bob: But I don’t know which street is Campbell and which is Joseph.

Panel 1: The title of the strip, Bob, but stylized so that the letters grow from left to right. As the letters get bigger, they take on the appearance of gnarly trees with the final B having the face of a wolf, tongue lolling from its mouth. Staring up at this wolf are Bob and his three humans. Panel 2: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) looks on as Fren and Freida (stick figures) rush into the room with a comically long scarf. Dr. Smith (another stick figure, holding a clipboard) throws his hands up in frustration. Fred and Freida (singing): The cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair— Dr. Smith: NO! Panel 3: Fred and Freida begin wrapping the scarf around Bob. Fred and Freida (singing): The Positronic Brain, The heart that’s made of gold, the nerves of literal stee! Panel 4: Bob is now thoroughly wrapped up in the scarf to the point that it looks difficult ot move. Fred and Freida run off hand in hand. Fred and Freida (singing): Out in the world you have to go, though henchmen lie in wait I know. Out in the world explosions blow up things along the journey. Panel 5: Fred and Freida dance in the lab, arms linked. They are surrounded by various equipment and weaponry. Fred and Freida (singing): Out in the world to get the thing that lets us do the science-ing. Never can tell what fate will bring you on this fateful journey.

Panel 1: Fred (a stick figure holding a clipboard) stands in front of a massive carnivorous plant that also has lobster claws. Frieda (also a stick figure) stands nearby with a vintage plunger-based pesticide dispenser. Dr. Smith (yet another stick figure) contemplates across the room, oblivious to everything else. Dr Smith: The Positronic Capacitor requires abnormal conductivity with a high iron content. Panel 2: The plant has grabbed Fred in one of its claws. He has dropped his pen and wiggles to get free. Freida reacts in shock. Fred: But we would need these wires to be as durable as we can! Dr. Smith: It’s Archaic, but… Panel 3: Freida springs into action, spraying the plant who has opened it’s large mouth to ear Fred. Dr. Smith raises a finger in epiphany. Dr. Smith: Yes, nerves of literal steel should do it.

Panel 1: Dr. Smith (a stick figure holding a clipboard) is in a posture of explanation. Dr. Smith: Silver is the best conductor of heat and electricity. Panel 2: Panel pulls back to show part of a white board that says Plant plus Lobster equals ???. Dr Smith rubs his chin in thought. Dr. Smith: But gold has it beat for conducting emotions… Panel 3: Panel pans over to show Bob listening respectfully. We see the other end of the whiteboard that has a drawing of a crab claw coming out of a pot. Dr. Smith: Yes… What we need is an emotional power supply made of gold. Panel 4: Closeup of Bob who has a thought bubble showing a mental image of a shiny valentine heart.

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) and Dr. Smith (a stick figure holding a clipboard) stand in conversation. Dr. Smith is in a contemplative pose. Dr. Smith: First we need a Positronic Capacitor. Panel 2: Bob raises one finger to the sky. Bob: On it! …What’s that? Panel 3: Close up of Dr Smith explaining. Dr. Smith: It is and advanced processing computer meant to enhance targeting systems, aid in moral decision making, and ensure the safety of everyone within an… (here the dialogue trails off into unintelligible technobabble as both Bob and the audience lose the ability to follow along. Panel 4: Freida skates by on roller skates, much to Dr. Smith’s chagrin. Freida: Fancy brain.

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) is in the lab, throwing his arms up in frustration. Dr. Smith (a stick figure) is working on some electronic equipment with his back to the room. Frieda (also a stick figure) stands in the center of the room holding a banana. Bob: What good is a weapon if you can’t even build it? Panel 2: Fred (another stick figure) rolls into the panel on roller skates with a helmet on his head. Frieda tosses a banana peel directly into his path. Dr. Smith: We had other labs in the city, but Alpha has taken them all. Frieda: All our base are belong to him. Dr. Smith: Everything we need is spread across town. Panel 4: Fred has slipped on the banana peel and is midair, flailing, and about to hit the ground. Frieda has pulled out a clipboard and is taking notes. Bob has a look of concern. Bob: This feels like an impending quest.

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) stands slumped in exhaustion speaking with Dr. Smith (a stick figure holding a clipboard) who has his back to Bob. Bob: Tired. Dr. Smith: Yes. That could be a problem when they finish building the fleet. Panel 2: Bob sinks even further in concern. Bob: I… I don’t know how to beat an entire fleet. I could barely beat one Palm Ship. …I don’t want to die. Panel 3: Closeup of Dr Smith. He is still looking at his clipboard. Dr. Smith: No need to worry about that. Panel 4: Dr. Smith has lowered his clipboard, but still has not turned around. Dr. Smith: I’ll just build another robot.

Panel 1: Zoom out on Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) so far that his features are indistinguishable. His arms and legs are so incredibly long with one arm spelling Bob in cursive. Panel 2: Three Humans (Stick figures) look up into the sky. An ominous shadow is cast over the panel. Bob: This fight seems insurmountable. I am only one month old. Panel 3: A massive ship resembling a hand is in the sky, blocking out the sun. Smaller ships shaped like fingers are launching from this larger ship. Bob: An I am but one Robot. Panel 4: The humans flee in terror as explosions occur all around. Bob is firing into the sky. Bob: The General and his Henchmen keep coming, no matter how many I defeat. Panel 5: Finger ships fly about the city, dropping bombs and causing havoc. A tiny bob is doing his best while an orphanage burns in the background. Bob: And every day they innovate. I fear that I am not enough. Panel 6: Closeup of Bob surrounded by smoke and fire. He is extending one arm very far off screen. A human’s legs can be seen on the ground among the smoke. Bob: For I am but one Worm. Panel 7: Bob has caught a finger ship that carries a ring of bombs. He is extending his arms farther off screen once more. Bob: But still I fight. I will not allow the humans to be harmed. Panel 8: Two Henchmen (stick figures with an inverted triangle for a head) sit within the palm ship. They observe a view screen that shows Bob on his captured finger ship. He has captured two more ships and all three are being directed towards the view screen. Bob: Losing is okay, so long as one person fights to protect. Panel 9: Exterior of the palm ship with explosions and fire all about. A finger ship can be seen puncturing the palm.

Panel 1: Two Humans (stick figures holding coffee) stand around conversing in an office setting, a third stick figure sits at their desk in the background playing games instead of working. Clouds can be seen outside a window, suggesting this building is very tall. A bird can be seen among the clouds. Human 1: Did you watch the Sports-ball this weekend? Human 2: Yeah! Green Team had nothing on Red Team! Panel 2: The first two humans continue talking while the third rushes to the window, their chair sent flying in the rush. The bird is much larger and approaching fast. Human 1: Lucky! My wife made me turn it off to watch Generic Medical Drama. Human 2: Jerry! What’s wrong? Panel 3: The first two stair on in shock, their coffee gone cold. As per yesterday’s comic, the bird is in fact a fighter ship built by General Alpha. It does look ominously birdlike. Human 3: That’s a pretty big goose out there.

Panel 1: Two finger ships (cylindrical fighter jets that resemble fingers) fly next to each other. The screens covering their cockpits resemble fingernails. One nail is more pointed and the other is bulbous towards the base. Both carry the asterisk insignia of General Alpha. Ship 1: Index Fighter – Go! Ship 2: Middle Bird! Bringing the pain! Panel 2: A 3rd and 4th ship join the first two. The 3rd’s nail is flush with the rest of the ship and it carries a ring around its middle with diamond shaped bombs attached to the ring. The 4th ship is squat and fat. Ship 3: Ring Bomber! Explosive action! Ship 4: Pinky! Zoom Zoom Zoom! Panel 3: Closeup of Ship 1. Ship 1: Wait! Where is the other guy? Panel 4: Closeup of a 5th ship. This one is unmistakenly a thumb—ball joint at the bottom and hooked as it curves upward to the thumbnail. It also resembles the neck of a goose.
