issue 118 - Gregory: the really angry robot

Soooo, this may have been written write after the Super Bowl.... but I still find this funny. Plus, I have been looking for a reason to use the Gregory TV panels again. This is the first in a series of new issues, by the way. I wrote them in a day and have only drawn out the first two. You can expect the rest in the upcoming weeks. Either way, ENJOY!

UPDATE!: just in time for the site launch.

Good day readers! As I write this, the official site launch for http://gregoryrobot.blogspot.com is set for Wednesday Nov 30th. But even better news! NEW issues are set to start running as of December 14th! I am hoping to have them drop weekly, but that will depend on time and motivation. Right now, I already have 5 issues done and ready to upload. That means.... a little over a months worth of new issues are 100% confirmed! I'm not going to count my chickens just yet, because things are always changing and who knows what the future holds.... perhaps another hiatus? Only time will tell. In the meantime, I had to share the good news.... and just for the fun of it, I am including a 'Gregory' extra below. ENJOY!

(This is an issue of 'The Record Store'. It was a 'one-off' idea I had to use my experiences working at a record store as comic fodder. Sadly, I never could remember enough funny stuff to make it work.... so this is all that ever came of it. It has some detailed art though.)

issue 98 - Gregory: the really angry robot

This is another one of those issues that was based on real life. My niece actually told me this at one point. We were casually having a cookie and the Cookie Monster came up. Every time I said the Cookie Monster eats cookies, she said, "and people." It was the funniest thing and needed to be shared. I felt that Mark and Steve were the perfect people to deliver the message. ENJOY!

issue 85 - Gregory: the really angry robot

Once again, my artistic skills with MS Paint are put to the test. However, I was pretty happy with the overall results. (except my full body shot.) The concept started out really simple in my head, but in order to pull it off.... it took a lot of time and patience. The end result is a very visual joke and one that I still get a kick out of. ENJOY!

issue 79 - Gregory: the really angry robot

Anyone who's seen my group photos for the Gregory-verse, may have noticed a couple of characters that never actually appeared in any issues. My biggest fan and co-author of his own version of 'Gregory', asked about those unused characters. I promised him that I'd use them at some point and from that promise came this issue. I rolled all of the characters into the same issue and stuck them in the 'waiting room' for the comic strip itself. As if the characters were all in the background of the strip itself and waiting for their big chance in the spotlight. It's another bizarre concept and another reason why 'Gregory' doesn't play by the rules. That's why I love it! ENJOY!

issue 65 - Gregory: the really angry robot

A 'Bloody Mary' rip-off? What more can you ask for in an online comic? But when you throw in an Oompah Loompah, Carol Channing and a bald guy? You've got comedy gold or so I believe. This is a favorite issue of mine. It's nonsense at its finest. It has detailed artwork. (for me using MS Paint) I just love this issue all the way around. I just hope Carol Channing can forgive me for this. I'm sure she's a very sweet lady. ENJOY!

issue 54 - Gregory: the really angry robot

Is that Billy the Belligerent Bot in the background? Yup, it is. He's not 'physically' in an issue yet, but this is another teaser. The brilliant thing about this issue is the movie that Gregory is watching. We never see it, but you get the general idea of what is going on and it ain't pretty. 'The Playground of Death', not a film that could exist in normal/mainstream cinema. However, in the Gregoryverse, anything is possible. ENJOY!

issue 44 - Gregory: the really angry robot

One of my first attempts at creating a whole scene, including backgrounds and set dressings. I think it turned out pretty well. This also is the issue with the first appearance of Billy the Belligerent Bot.... Gregory's cousin. Now, the show on the TV is supposed to be 'Night of the Living Dead' (1968), but obviously Gregory has something else on. The Spanish coming from the TV should make sense to those who speak the language. However, I don't speak it and had to use Babel Fish to write it all out and translate it. That means, I'm taking a big leap of faith by putting it out there and not having it spot checked first. Anyone speak Spanish? ENJOY!
