SCP came in 4th in the first round of webcomic idol. Thanks to everyone who voted - I’ll be posting a bonus comic some time this week! For every week that SCP stays in the contest, I’ll do an extra comic! So vote like you’ve never voted before!

The robot in the strip was inspired by my Hallowe’en costume last year:

Robot Costume

It was big enough that I could set it up at my desk at work when I felt like taking a break:

Robot working

I twisted my ankle this weekend, so I guess I’ll have to go as “that guy who is on crutches now because he’s too clumsy to successfully cross the road”.

    This is based (even if not intentionally) on a novel by Stanislaw Lem ;)

    Shyamalan would be jealous of that one.

    I challenge you to a dance off! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyuQEDgLbGo (I was the Robot) I’m quite amazed I got away with submitting this as Coursework for my Degree year…

    I love the range pans for the eyes! Great costume!

    I hope you’re back on your feet again soon.

    That’s rather amusing. :)
    Let’s hope this never actually happens!

    Nice costume, too!

    Dear god, i lol’d so hard with this one

    Now I don’t get what’s so funny about this comic. The writer is stupid for not knowing what words I don’t know. I can’t be expected to know things like “surrender” and “council”. What am I, a professor?

  11. McDoom

    I love the irony in the line “My brother! Do you not recognise me?”

  12. Shiny Metal Thing

    This is hilarious.
    His eyes in the last panel are great.
    My favorite one so far… keep up the good work.

  13. Jon

    Robot Frank!!!!

  14. Nostril Diver

    The last line here is the most ironic.

    Dammit! Now I’ve got Styx stuck in my head thanks to this one…

  18. FatLou

    the cardboard box-y shape of the costume should have made it more obvious to me

  19. Sarah

    ha ha he’s screwed

  20. Haruki Hatayama

    That gray robot reminds me of the beep unit from futurama.
    It’s got to be his uncle or so.

    Radek, what Stanislaw Lem novel are you referring to? You peaked my curiosity

  22. Alex Lover
