Of Mallard And Machine
I think I found a solution to the readability issues for the bots’ lines. Let me know, eh?
In case you’re wondering: Panels 1 and 2 refer to Isaac Asimov’s robot stories, Panel 3 refers first to Karel Capek (who coined the term “robot” back in 1920) and then, well, any number of “evil robot” stories you could think of.
If you don’t get Panel 4′s reference, I just can’t help you, however.

I have something I have to admit, though it pains me.
That one made me laugh.
I’m so ashamed.
I hate to be a wet blanket, but I’m having a little trouble reading the robot font. It’s hard to distinguish between the “f” and the “t” and I read “tannish” inquisition the first time around. I still got the Python pun, but it was a lot more confusing that way!
No worries, I’m still trying to figure out how to make the robot font thing work. (You’ll notice that I added contrast outlines based on feedback from their previous appearance.)
It may be time to go hunting for another font. We’ll see…
Don’t worry, Cheryl. You’re not alone. I read it as “tannish” at first, too.
The color is better, though.
I thought it said “tannish” as well, and went to look it up thinking it was an obscure species of spotted duck.
Anyway, what I really wanted to say was:
EXTERMINATE (QUACK)!
I think it’s more:
DELETE (QUACK)!
Oh, EXTERMINATE! would have been cool! Not that I don’t enjoy a good Python reference, but I love Doctor Who references more.
Haha! I like how you did the robot’s quote!
