issue 2 - Lil' Gregory: the cute lil' angry robot

Here is issue 2, just like I promised! Just a bit later than I had planned on. Anyway, this issue steals from a few places in my life. First and formost, Frances Farmer. (I call her Francis Farmer in the strip.) She's a real person, but not someone I actually knew. (Here's her Wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Farmer ) I actually got her name from the song by Nirvana, 'Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seatlle'. A favorite of mine and I couldn't help it. Secondly, the line "I broke my uterus." was stolen from high school. It was a poplular saying by the guys.... none of whom had a uterus. And finally, G.I. Joes, who I played with non-stop for my entire childhood. That's it.... ENJOY! (issue 3 coming tomorrow.)

issue 1 - Lil' Gregory: the cute lil' angry robot

Hello faithful readers and those new to the site! If you've never read 'Gregory: the really angry robot' before, this isn't the best place to start. If you're up to date on all of the issues so far, then this might be a treat. Every once in a while, I did a special issue or a spin-off or side issue all together. This was a 3 part series involving the 'Gregory' cast as little kids. Who doesn't love to see their favorite characters as little versions of themselves? And I love Halloween, so it was a no brainer to merge the two. Then I added Dennis and POOF! instant classic. This is issue 1 in the series and I'm planning on releasing the other 2 over the next two days. I am planning on doing more of these in the future.... I think. Unless something changes and I can't come up with any good ideas. Only time well tell. In the meantime, here's issue 1 and a little extra treat until the new issues start dropping on Wednesday, December 14th. ENJOY!

issue 60 - Gregory: the really angry robot

On occasion, I just go a little nuts and make an issue that makes no sense. I do them more for my own amusement than anyone else's, but there are a few readers that get my strange sense of comedy. Which makes it all worthwhile. However, when I go back and look at the issue, I have to wonder what in the hell I was thinking!?!? This is one of those issues. If you can explain this one to me, I dare you to try. I don't even get it and I created it. ENJOY!

issue 51 - Gregory: the really angry robot

I love the very last line of this issue. Hogarth gets some amazing one liners that only he could pull off. This is yet another anime style issue, I just couldn't stop doing them.... they were so fun. ENJOY!

issue 50 - Gregory: the really angry robot

It's another anime issue and it makes zero sense. Gregraham Lincoln, some weird animal thingy, me dressed as a schoolgirl.... what the heck is up with all of that? These issues are all so much fun to make, even if they make no sens.... that really doesn't matter. You can enjoy these issues regardless. ENJOY!

issue 37 - Gregory: the really angry robot

My little homage to 'Pulp Fiction', starring Gregory and Zodiac. Yet another issue that doesn't really tie into any previous issues, just a one off thing for the hell of it. When I re-read it, I think the writing is a bit clunky. It still kind of works, but not quite as well as it sounded in my head. These are the issues that make this comic kind of fun to read. You never know what you're going to get. ENJOY!

issue 31 - Gregory: the really angry robot

I don't know why, but I love Gregory: the happ'nin beatnik robot. Perhaps it's the soul patch or the Lennon glasses? Maybe it's the beret? No matter why it is what it is, I loved doing this flashback issues. This one was all because I came up with the poem in my head and built the rest around it. Also, the last line "Cheez it, narc!" was something I'd been saying for a long time and I was hoping to get into the regular slang vocabulary of everyone I knew. It didn't work. ENJOY!

issue 30a - Gregory: the really angry robot

For some reason, I liked re-doing issues or altering originals. (ala George Lucas) But not quite as bad as George Lucas. This issue is almost an exact duplicate of issue 30, only with one slight variation. I had drawn up a chef character, Luigi perhaps?, and wanted to use him. In my mind, the ending of this issue made me giggle.... because of that, I had to do it. Thus, the repeated issues. ENJOY!

issue 30 - Gregory: the really angry robot

In this flashback episode, we find Gregory yet again posing as the president. (or as we refer to him, Gregraham Lincoln) Zodiac doesn't seem to get that he's a stand in and there lies the humor. This issue is historic and totally accurate! (hehehe) ENJOY!

issue 26 - Gregory: the really angry robot

Everyone has a "contest" at some point in the life, right? This was my homage to that rite of passage. It was also my first real attempt at creating group shots with my characters. I think it turned out pretty good and it's fun to look at all the little things, like each pair of eyes moving. Actually, that's the one thing that I think was lost on a lot of readers. You have to read each panel slowly and take in everything that's going on. Since this is such a short comic to read, I had to make the most of each panel. I think most people just go to the reading parts, read them and hurry to the end. To truly enjoy the strip, you have to take it slowly and one panel at a time. Also, it's easy and hard at the same time to create an issue. Since each piece of art is cut and paste from the original art, it's hard to do groups. However, it's really easy to put one character in the panel alone. ENJOY!

issue 25 - Gregory: the really angry robot

Second verse, same as the first! I have no idea why issue 24 and 25 are EXACTLY the same, but they are. Sorry about that. ENJOY! (again)

issue 24 - Gregory: the really angry robot

Remember how I said that we don't give away Gregory's age? I may have spoken too soon. It would seem that this issue gives that away. Also, this issue ends kind of strangely and made sense to me at the time. I hope you dig it anyway. We're introduced to the 'Car'pet Salesman. We also have Zodiac, who appears to be as old as Gregory.... which is never explained. I think I need some Advil. ENJOY! (side note: I think I missed this in an earlier issue, but I had people submit ideas for the comic. I gave them credit for their concepts and this issue was one of those issues. Thanks Wil! He was a regular contributor and a long time friend of mine)

issue 21 part 3 - Gregory: the really angry robot

And as quickly as it begins, it ends.... or does it? (wait until the next issue to find out for sure) Anyway, here we have Zodiac doing something harmless like buying a soda. It causes Gregory to rethink his feelings for his love. It's just that simple. ENJOY!

issue 12 - Gregory: the really angry robot

Once again, Zodiac and Gregory hangin' out. This issue leads us to believe that Gregory is pre-programmed and maybe doesn't have as much free will as previously thought. That myth doesn't last long. Gregory is his own person. ENJOY!

issue 11 (time warp!) - Gregory: the really angry robot

I think it's kind of silly that I started doing weird themed issues so quickly. It's like I already had an established comic and needed something fresh to keep the readers interested. The truth is, I just really wanted to stretch out and enjoy the characters and doing something fun like this was the perfect way to do it. The issue features Zodiac and Gregory and indicates that they're both much older than most people might expect. There was a lot of speculation about how old Gregory is. I kind of touch on it, but I never really give a clear indication.... he's an enigma. ENJOY!

issue 5 - Gregory: the really angry robot

While re-reading each of these issues, as I put them on this site, I wonder how this comic has lasted for 10 years. Granted, I think some of the later issues are really funny, but these first ones are kind of rough. This one features Zodiac again with Gregory. Eventually my own personal character will be introduced and that's when things start to get interesting. (in my opinion) ENJOY! (quick side note: based on the layout and number of panels used, shouldn't this have been considered a 'mega issue!' too?)

issue 1 - Gregory: the really angry robot

Here it is, the first issue of Gregory. It's raw, not very good and not even a remotely close indication of what was to come. Bear with me and it'll get better. In this issue I introduce the world to my angry robot and to one of my first characters, Zodiac. I have no clue why in the heck I drew Zodiac. I had read the Robert Greysmith about the Zodiac killer recently and perhaps it was on my mind? I'm not sure, but he popped up quite a bit after that.... my first regular recurring character. ENJOY!
