Robot-Dude & Dweeb-O
Yes, fellow Gluemeaties, this is my son Mathias’ first ever comic with his experimentations in Adobe Illustrator.
I cannot stress enough the following points: I did not help him at all aside from pointing him to the right tools for what he had in mind. I did not select colours for him. I did not lay my hand a single time on our mouse as he was doing this. What I did do was type in the text he told me to write, do the curvy lines from the dialogue to the character’s mouths, and align it all so that it would look okay.
Notice his use of both the rectangle tool and the rounded rectangle tool on Robot-Dude. Fear his Copy-And-Paste technique. Skillz.
My son rules. I will be reading him the comments you guys leave, so say nice things OR BE BANNED!!!
On another note, TN’s MEATGRINDS project is about to hit a new high next Monday as we’re all preparing something pretty cool. Hope y’all check back!
I like Dweeb-o’s hands and Robot-Dude’s feet a lot. And Matthias you should teach Dad how to draw different mouths. You’ve begun to master something he thinks is accomplished by alternating between a white and black paint fill.
That punchline’s goin into my daily repetoire.
Wow, I love Dweeb-O’s hand! Mathias, I hope to see the next installment of this storyline. I’ll add them to the Wikipedia entry once they show up a second time. ^_^
Heya Mathias. Congrats on your first comic. It makes substantially more sense than a lot of your Dad’s.
What could be inside robot-dude’s mysterious stomach-door? I can’t wait to find out. Also, might the referred-to pants be elsewhere? For he seems to be wearing some sort of jumpsuit. Maybe the pants with the icicles are in robot-dudes stomach compartment. The plot thickens…
Funny, but I did not realize that this was not a regular Gluemeat strip. I thought Case was just introducing new characters.
Mathias made it easier for us by giving Robot-dude that name. I mean, if he had been like his father and not told us their names we probably would have called him Robot-dude anyway, well that or maybe silver guy, but I like Robot-dude better. There are endless possibilities for these characters… like, what’s in the stomach door?!
Good work!
It’s quite possible (and I say this with not a shred of sarcasm–NOT A SHRED) that this is the greatest Gluemeat comic ever.
icicles, in his pants.
. . .i think you just might have the next warren ellis on your hands!
I quite like this. Good job, Mathias!
OMG Child labour!
That punchline just keeps me laughing… =p
