Webcomic Pick - We The Robots

Add comment January 5th, 2008

By now, I hope you have had the chance to check out one of my webcomic picks and have found a new stop on your daily internet roundup.  You probably have found something edgy, funny, and altogether different from the conservative comic strips in the daily Go section, where Beatle Bailey is still being chased by Sarge and where Garfield is still seeking out Lasagna all these years later.

But if you haven’t yet given webcomics a go, make a resolution to start with We The Robots.

This webcomic by Chris Harding imagines a world where Robots evolved from prehistoric machines, gain consciousness and develop a society.  Subversive, hilarious and insightful, we follow Bob the striped robot who has spent an entire three day weekend trapped in a bathroom with only his thoughts and has emerged as a philosopher in a world of robots with literally only two ways of thinking - right and wrong (illustrated brilliantly and simply in the comic below).  Make a point to follow Bob’s journey through the archives - you can catch up quickly in an hour of reading or so.  We The Robot is a great addition to your daily web surfing routine.  Find it at http://www.wetherobots.com
