Congratulations, Shaenon- after years of determined lurking, I must finally comment on your awesome, awesome webcomic. (This one, anyway.)

I almost never laugh aloud. When I think something's funny, I'll smile, or smirk, or perhaps chuckle softly. Once. And then go on with my life.

Fifteen thousand robots going "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" made me roll onto the floor and laugh until I cried.

Thank you oh so very much for everything that you have ever done. :-)

When Mell finds out that robots
Do what she said,
Ambition, she will show lots!
She'll charge ahead!

(CHORUS)
She'll have her way, Mell K.!
She'll conquer the world with just one word!
These fifteen thousand robots
Think that you're their dad!
Girl, you're so rad!

Soon all resistance scatters!
Soon, all submit!
She'll dine from golden platters,
Served by Brad Pitt!
(CHORUS)

Ruled Venus in a past life,
And conquered Mars!!
With Madblood's ship, she'll bring strife
Out to the stars!
(CHORUS)

Saturday:

This development is really a quite alarming challenge to the power hierarchy of this webcomic. Could it be that Mell might, with no prior warning or inclination, be lurching forth into full-fledged organised villainy?! (Fortunately for those who care about narrative consistency and sensibility, no.)

Is there any other context in which “upside” is ever used as a preposition?

All you need is Shemp running down the hall screaming, now. 🙂

I love how quickly the conflict goes from Narbonics Labs vs. Madblood to everybody else vs. Mell.

Love the panel, not so sure about the development; but in the end it was fun to watch the Daves working togheter, not to mention I <3 the Madbots

I would just like to point out that this is my very favorite Narbonic strip ever. If I ever find the person who owns the original, I will very vigorously shake my fist in your direction.

Short and dark and wearing glasses,
The girl who's taking legal classes
Will lead the masses
And hand your asses
To you!

See her smiling, so ecstatic!
Respect from robots automatic!
She's charismatic;
She'll take no static
From you!

Is ... there a joy any greater
Than ... having masses of minions
Who ... all think you're their creator?
Call it strange, now, but I've got a hunch
She'll conquer the planet by lunch!

All the world will get a schooling
Her robots fight so harsh and grueling
Without refueling!
She'll soon be ruling
The world!
(The gauntlet is hurled ...
She just wants the world ...)
