Even More Obvious.

So how do you stop an evil commie robot?

Ah. With lust.

Sorry Nameless, but you’re going to need to take one. For freedom

    You know BOLTS is new to this whole lust thing because his attempt at innuendo is pretty half-assed.  Nameless does a better job.

    And now I’m going to irritate everyone by mentioning the suggestive appearance of BOLTS’s head.  Enjoy trying to unsee it now.

    Aww, how cute.  Now, why do I think that Nameless running into that refrigerator car will have something to do with B.O.L.T.’s destruction?  I know!  The cold will freeze his “transistors”.

    Tin – everyone going to HIS doom? lady, I ain’t no native speaker but shouldn’t that be “their”?  And yes instead of trying to save them just join them…

    The sound of Isaac Asimov spinning in his grave is very distracting!

    Oh, that’s just someone outside using a chainsaw. Maybe.

    Actually, “his” is grammatically correct. Singular possessive for a singular noun (doom). Back then, “his” was considered an appropriate way to refer to both sexes. These days, the desire to be inclusive has caused people to default to “their,” when in fact, if you want to be inclusive, it should be “his or her doom.” Or “their dooms” (plural possessive, plural noun). So while there was clearly rampant sexism in Metal Men, this wasn’t an overt example.

    I stand corrected!

    I think it’s zombie Asimov with a chainsaw.

    I like how the commie-bot seems to be fanning himself in the 4th panel.

    Yeah, that’s where I originally got it, but it actually seems even more prominent in these panels than that cover.

    “His” is grammatically correct, but the reason is that its antecedent, “everyone” is considered a singular pronoun. “Everyone” is used the same way as the phrase “each one”.
