Great work! For the Chinese translation of the wanted poster, I think it might be more accurate if you use:
“通缉， 不论死活” for the
“wanted dead or alive” and
“杀手机器人” for the
“killer android”
🙂
on my Patreon I give members 2 full resolution Photoshop files with all the layers, each month (minimum is 1$ a month), I think right now we’re on #50 something… https://www.patreon.com/Stahlberg
I do plan to try a KickStarter to print this some day, maybe when I reach #120 or so.
Seems to depend on the puzzling file structure that an RSS isn’t easy to establish. http://www.androidblues.com/comic/feed/
will do somehow if you click on “open Android Blues”, but I did not manage to display the latest (unread) updates.
I agree, but the way they reason is, it’s better to have one android too many destroyed, than to gamble that independent androids won’t somehow find a good reason to get rid of all humans… and from the clients’ point of view they don’t lose that much, as there’s insurance, which if they pay a little bit extra the company will reimburse them with a new android if the old one is lost due to (accidental) isolation.
Truly impressive art and layouts! The storyline is intriguing as well. Sexbots may very well become the wave of the future. Then. of course, there will be those who wish to grant them their independence. You can bet there will be resistance to that like there was to ending slavery and racial integration.
No updates since August. Looking forward to new pages.
Yes I will, it’s just slowed down a lot recently,
among other things I’ve found steemit.com, where I can post my art and make money, as opposed to Facebook, Instagram, DeviantArt and ArtStation 🙂
job was very hard in march and april, so i found only now the time to login on steemit -.-
so i followed now, what else can be done there? 🙂
You can post on your own blog, and earn crypto money, which is possible to exchange for other crypto or cash. Or you can just explore and read other peoples’ blogs. It’s fun, I treat it like a long term game 🙂
Assuming she can convince the shut-in this will be her first truly non-hostile contact. Gotta wonder how Lisa is gong to play this exactly, what with the whole intimacy thing going on. You get the feeling she isn’t exactly down with selling herself for safety but desperate times…
I’m curious, is the android connecting wirelessly through a built-in device or did she steal some equipment? Just curious since Maddie needed stuff to surf.
I’m glad you asked, I realize now I glossed over this part of the story. Perhaps I should return to it and add a page.
I was thinking she’s in a kind of “info kiosk”, a public service somewhat like a public bathroom, if someone needs information and privacy it’s there. Possibly you’d have to pay a minor amount like in a fancier bathroom, in that case Lisa probably had some way of getting around that. Or maybe she even had a few coins she pilfered. Not sure.

Thank you! 🙂
Love this comic! Keep it coming!
Just caught up with the whole story today, loved every page, excellent story & art. More please.
Hey! Really stunning work! Is there a way to buy a higher resolution version of this?

Cool
Just discovered this today and read every page. Any way to get an RSS feed so I don’t miss the updates?
not sure, I think I had it working before, but then WP updated and I had to change theme… I’m not good with WP sorry…

That’s a fairly terrible security feature, if we’re being perfectly honest.

uh oh…..
What’s meant with ‘stop winging’ ?
oh, I misspelled it. It’s supposed to be “whinging”, I’ll fix it thanks
Hey, have you been meddliy with the space-time continuum again? How did Lisa and Elvis get into this photojournalism shot from a couple of days ago?

(For your amusement only, not intended as a serious comment! But I look forward to seeing an “artist’s impression” of it turn up on the strip ).
