  • Anouncement

    New content is coming. I promise. However, I have another project I’d like to share with you all: Techcitement This is a “team” blog, with a focus on cool technology that catches our eyes and basically the rants of a bunch of gadget geeks. We’re always looking for contributors, if you want to play. Other…

  • Pause for Station Identification

    Hey guys. I need a few days to build content up. Bit behind. Time has been eaten by baby (seven months!), work, side work, and a few new projects (I’ll have something to announce soon). While you wait, how about pointing me at some good web comics in the comment section? It’s be appreciated.

  • Wait, What About…

    Hey aren’t we forgetting something? Gotta love it – the only Metal Man who Doc hasn’t driven to suicide. Although you get the feeling that he isn’t too pleased (from several pages later) Doc looks about ready to jump in a smelter himself in that last panel.

  • Late Post Filler

    I’ll get to today’s post soon, but until then, enjoy this comic strip by my sister-in-law    

  • Doc’s Hands

    Try not to think about how he;s basically groping her Too late.

  • His Mouth Says No But His Hands Say Giggity

    What about Platinum, you ask? “Free at last!” Actually, no. You know, that last panel on it’s own it pretty disturbing.

  • Doc gets His Wish

    All of Doc’s constant kvetching about the Metal Men has made them kinda emo… Holy cow. How many comics have the protagonists commit suicide on panel? A massive public thank you to Matt L, a reader who sent me a dead Macbook – should be able to fix this for $50 worth of spare parts.

  • Doc Magnus: Femmebot Killer

    You can’t help but see what Platinum sees in him. “His every insult just makes me want him more.” sorry about yesterday

  • The Name

    In case you’re wondering, Tin’s girlfriend never gets a name. The comic has a mail-in contest, but they end up calling her Nameless, except Tin, who calls her Beautiful. Which is sweet, but says more about The Metal Men’s gender politics than any dozen panels I could post. Not that it’s gonna stop me…

  • In That Same Issue

    Well, she kind of gave him permission this time around “Hey Gold, hold this electric lead for me, will you?” “Sure Platinummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm”

  • Mercury: Drama Queen

    I give Mercury some credit – when he sees that he’s chased Tim away, he shows regret: Typical MM double standard in action. Mercury freaks out, and that’s okay, but if Paltinum so much as bats an eyelash, she’s defective.

  • Come Away With Me.

    So the Metal Men fight, and the unnamed female robot runs away, giving us this touching moment. Remember kids, if mommy and daddy fight, it’s your fault and you should run away from home so it stops.

  • Genders and Robots

    The Metal Men react to Tin’s creation: How? How can anyone tell? The whole thing with robots and gender is just so messed up…

  • Tin’s Disturbing Invention

    Long time fans of the Metal Men absolutely know where this post is going. For the uninitiated, in issue #13, we find a lonely Tin wandering the streets.

  • I Always Loved Chemo.

    Chemo is one of the neatest villains, visually. For those unfamiliar with the character, he’s a sentient chemical waste container. You see, he was created when a scientist kept dumping unused chemicals in this big plastic bin… that he’d just happened to make in the shape of a person.

  • Question

    Hal eventually gets to go home, wakes up with no memory of the future (thank goodness for Space Roofies) and goes after Polaris for “killing” him.

  • His Metabolic Processes Are Only Of Interest To Historians

    So with a dead GL on their hands, the Future People simply reset their time machine for another date, right?

  • In The Future, We’re Idiots.

    So as I’m sure you guessed, the Future people have snatched Hal from the past, to save them. This is because they kinda suck at doing anything for themselves.
