Spotlight On: Warbot in Accounting

We're an equal opportunity employer here, even for instruments of death. Especially for instruments of death

It's never made clear why a hulking war machine needs to make ends meet as an office schlub, but it's both achingly cute and heartbreakingly sad to see him try so hard, yet fail to often. A trip to the fax machine takes him several hours, while his attempts to save a cat from being run over result in a front-page massacre.

So easily could he have made his problems go away with gunfire, but not this Warbot; whether attempting a date or building a child for Take Your Daughter to Work Day, he takes the obstacles presented by his enormous frame, stubby arms and lack of speech functions in his stride. That his prospective girlfriends occasionally suffer tragic deaths and his blind, crippled daughter now sits in a bin, praying for death, doesn't seem to slow him down. Or possibly he can't find his auto-destruct.

Warbot in Accounting isn't updated often, but Nuklear Power is home to several comics, including the now finished 8-Bit Theater, so blast your way through Warbot's short run and check out the rest of their portfolio here.
