Ok, maybe I do.

Excellent, this destroys me back to the days I first found webcomics… 😀

Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
Is it just me, or do those killer robots look similar to the “Edie In Orbit” floating robot head? Except that these guys have arms with pointy dangerous things.
Mmmmm … pointy death. Breakfast of champions.
David Harmon (mental_mouse) says: Looks like another roboticist cheaped out on vocabulary…. Tip seems to recognize them, so I’d guess these were Unity’s prior “clients”…
Martha Mintz (muffinthamighty) says: At first I thought gbrious was some sort of vocab word I just hadn’t learned, and was feeling sorry for myself until the MOST ADORABLE death robot I’d ever seen showed up and distracted me. Then I re-read the strip and realized it was a poorly written glorious. I’d laugh louder if my own handwriting wasn’t enough to make a doctor blush.
John Campbell (jcampbel) says:
“Gbrious” sounds like the kind of adjective one would encounter in a Lovecraft tale.
“New Jersey rose from the stygian waters, gbrious expressways writhing with chthonic power…”

Ms. Kim says: “I’m curious to know why robot #2 isn’t here…” You try exisiting betweenC3PO’s dysfuntional cousin and one that can only vocalize ,b>DESTROY!
Probably for a similar reason, 9 isn’t after 8…
Sorry. “He who would pun would pick a pocket” as the saying goes.
P.S. I ask you, poorly written or poorly read?

Eeep! Robots robots robots robots ROBOTS!! Bang! Zap! Bam! KRAKATHARAKK!
heee hee hee heee heeee.
*ahem* sorry ’bout that.
I read it out as ‘glorious’ myself. My own handwriting is. . . well, Antonio Smith has orders to shoot me on sight.
Justin Grubbs (the_purple_knight) says: Excuse me, but I believe it is ANTONIO SMITH, FORENSIC LINGUIST. And besides, he actually doesn’t kill with that gun. The worst harm I’ve ever actually seen him do is knock a guy out with a hardcover book. He is far and away the best character ever created.
Rockphed (rockphed) says: I take it “Destroy” is much easier for them to say than anything else. I like these killer robots 🙂
So It Begins (soitbegins) says: Yieegad.

Random killer robots are never a bad thing.
Especially when you’re a professional writer who writes… things. Professionally.
Seriously.
I’m reminded of Strax from Doctor Who. “Do not attempt to escape, or you will be obliterated. May I take your coat?”
