issue 117 - Gregory: the really angry robot

Just a quick note, this is part 2 of a two part issue series. This also marks all of the first round of new issues. As of next week, I am starting round two of new issues. I wrote about 15 new issues in the course of a day and am just drawing them up now. You'll notice that they were written on Sunday, because the first issue deals with the now past Super Bowl. Either way, I'm really happy with what's coming up.... until then, ENJOY!

issue 116 - Gregory: the really angry robot

When this idea hit me, it hurt. No really.... this idea made me giggle. The idea of me being fooled by a Gregory knockoff, like that would happen! Anyway, it worked out better than I thought it would and therefore I made it into a 2 part series. That means there will be another chapter next week! ENJOY!

issue 115 - Gregory: the really angry robot

Hello again everyone! It's been a bad week of being sick, but this issue makes up for it all. It's one of my favorites of the new batch, as it sums up the entire comic strip in one issue. This is pure Joel. ENJOY!

issue 114 - Gregory: the really angry robot

Ladies and gentlemen, Fat Damon is BACK! (Sorry, no Fat Affleck.) This idea came to me while driving by the Goodwill store on E. State St across from McDonald's. I don't know how I put 2 and 2 together, but it all made perfect sense. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it and don't find the 'punny' humor in bad taste. ENJOY!

issue 113 - Gregory: the really angry robot

Well, it's finally here.... the explaination for my redesign on my Joel character. Granted, it's all tongue in cheeck, but what isn't on this comic? Plenty of more new issues still to come! Check back every Wednesday for more Gregory goodness. ENJOY!

issue 112 - Gregory: the really angry robot

The holiday's are finally over and they were enjoyable. Now, last weeks 'Gregory' got a small reaction and that makes me happy! I wasn't sure that I was really happy with the design of The Scary Clown, but I guess he worked. Anyway, here's another visit from Mr. Clown. Sleep tight. ENJOY!

issue 111 - Gregory: the really angry robot

Welcome back from the Christmas break. It's almost the new year and I thought a new character was in order. Meet.... The Scary Clown. He'll be showing up again real soon.... so don't get too comfortable. I hope you dig him. ENJOY!

issue 110 - Gregory: the really angry robot (HOLIDAY SPECIAL)

Sorry kids, I forgot to put this issue online yesterday. My mistake. This is the Gregory Christmas special and brand new for you! I figured that the best way to celebrate the holiday, was to create something fresh for all of you to enjoy. I came up with this while looking at some mistletoe and wondering what was funny about it. I think the result was a good one. I hope you agree. Merry Ho-Ho everyone!!!! ENJOY!

issue 109 - Gregory: the really angry robot (THE RETURN, again.)

Well kids.... it's been a long time coming, but here it is: the first new isssue of 'Gregory: the really angry robot'. I don't know how long it's been since i put out an issue, but it's been years. Anyway, this issue was inspired by the idea of bringing back Gregory and how he'd feel about it. In the coming issues, the topics get crazier. The feel and look is still the same as it ever was, I just hope the humor is still there and that you still dig it. Feel free to comment and we'll see you again next week! ENJOY! (next week is a very special holiday issue, DON'T MISS IT!)

issue 3 - Lil' Gregory: the cute lil' angry robot

This is the last issue for this series, for now. Nothing here really from my childhood. This is just unabashed Dennis-based-comedy.... at it's rawest and cutest. If this issue doesn't make sense, read it again. It'll sink in. ENJOY!

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!

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.)

Welcome to 'Gregory: the really angry robot'.... a quick bit of info for new readers....

Welcome to the official home of 'Gregory: the really angry robot'. This has been my pet project for 10 years now and I thought it was time to give him a permenant home. I won't bore you with all the details, as I've already spelled everything out in earlier posts. However, here is a little bit of info.... before you dive into the depths.
1) Everything is presented in order. You don't have to read them in order, but they do run together sometimes.... so I recommened that you start at the beginning and work your way back. The reason I put it together like this, was to make sure the newest issues were always on top.
2) If you want a history of the comic before getting started, go to my very first post and I've detailed everything out there.
3) I'm going to be updating the site with older material, as there is a lot of other stuff that is related.... but not an 'official' issue of the comic. There are spin-offs, special issues and promo stuff. This site will have all things 'Gregory'.
4) ENJOY! That's the one thing that I always ask. I created this for myself, but it took on a life of its own and I found that other people liked it as much as I did. I hope you do to. And if you do like it, please leave a comment, I'd appreciate any feedback you want to give.
Thanks! And hopefully we'll see you again soon.

(These are teaser banners I made before I came back from one of my breaks. Just an example of something fun that isn't an actual issue of the comic.)

issue 108 - Gregory: the really angry robot

This is the last issue of 'Gregory' that I ever did. It doesn't mean it's the end of the series, it just meant that I went on yet another hiatus. As you can tell, things were just kind of going nowhere with the comic and it was time to take a break. I only hope that I'll come back to it again soon. In the meantime, you can see where this all started and how it progressed. I also am planning on adding the 'Gregory-in-ex' issues that my friend Adam did for me and some other "bonus" material that has never been seen! So keep your eyes peeled for lots more Gregory fun!!!! ENJOY! (and hopefully I'll be seeing you soon.... with NEW issues!)

issue 107 - Gregory: the really angry robot

At this point in 'Gregory', I was losing steam. Not that I didn't still love the strip and doing it.... it was outside factors that were causing me to not be able to focus on it and give it the love it deserved. This is the second to last issue and I'm not sure how much I like this one. It's still me as a zombie and that I can dig. ENJOY!

issue 106 - Gregory: the really angry robot

This issue is pretty much identical to the last one.... just a different punchline. I still thought it was funny. ENJOY!

issue 105 - Gregory: the really angry robot

I've always loved zombies and it seemed like a logical progression to make myself into one. This issue was spawned from that desire. I know there isn't much to this issue, it's was made mostly for my own purposes. It also introduced my zombie version of myself, so that I could use him again later. What do you think? ENJOY!

issue 104 - Gregory: the really angry robot

The best way (and the way I intended it to be read) to read 'Gregory' is one panel at a time. Even if there are no words, that panel was created for a reason. Either for a subtle change of eyebrows or a slight movement or just to create a pause.... there is a reason for everything I do. This issue is a prime example. It was written at the height of the re-booted 'Batman' craze. Christopher Nolan had made 'Batman' cool again and it was all anyone could talk about. Out of that popularity came this idea. What would Sam Raimi's 'Spider-Man' think of all the hype around Christopher Nolan's 'Batman'? The result is what you're about to read. ENJOY! (I believe this is the issue with the least words used.)

issue 103 - Gregory: the really angry robot

Spongebob meeting Rob Zombie makes a lot more sense than you would think. If you're a fan of Rob's, you'll understand why. This issue was done before it made sense though and seemed like a good idea at the time. Would either of them find it funny? I hope so.... I don't want to die in my sleep. The joke may be an oldie, but it's still a goodie. ENJOY!

issue 102 - Gregory: the really angry robot

I stole Spongebob.... plain and simple. There is no hiding who he is and I don't care. I wanted him to be a part of the strip and now he is! This is the 'get to know you' issue. The next one is where things get uncomfortable. ENJOY!

issue 101 - Gregory: the really angry robot

What better way to follow up a mega sized issue than with a simple nonsense issue! The concept is easy and fun. I came up with it and was extremely happy with the way it came out. It translated from idea to reality really well. It pokes fun of me and pokes fun of how I create each issue. This is one of my favorite issues and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. ENJOY!

issue 100 - Gregory: the really angry robot

When I started this goofy little comic strip, I never saw it going anywhere.... let alone, all the way to 100 issues! Well, once something takes on a life of its own, who knows how far it will go? This is the first mega sized issue that I've done. I have done more panels before, but not like this. This was a labor of love and a great way to celebrate 100 issues of stupidity. ENJOY! (The issue was too large to put in one big piece, as it couldn't be read. So, I broke it up into 5 parts that can be enlarged for easier reading.)

issue 99 - Gregory: the really angry robot

I have a huge mancrush on Rob Zombie.... HUGE. Unless you know me, then you don't understand. It's strictly a artist respecting mancrush. I'm sort of a fan of his music, but the majority of it is his film making. I own all his films and have lost count as to how many times I have seen them. It was only natural that he would appear in my comic at some point. The artwork doesn't do him the justice he deserves, but it's MS Paint after all. This is the lead in to the over sized 100th issue. Get ready....! ENJOY!

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!
