Marc really blew me away with this one. I’m not sure I can quite say what it is that’s so impressive. I think it’s the camera angles and the way it paces the whole strip beautifully. I think choosing your angle is VITALLY important to comicking, but so few artists can do it well. I know I can’t. Marc? No problem.

Is this Jerry realizing he may have gone a little overboard? Or is this all part of the plan?
Well, it’s all part of MY plan. How’s that?
I’m with THeasley on this’n. This is Jerry realizing Dr. Rocket makes a darn good robot.
DR don’t mess around!
This is going to get messy.
Also, way cool robot…would make a great action figure.
Couldn’t agree more. This was Marc’s first–and only–design for the robot. Nailed it on the first try.
I feel like I’ve been AWOL for commenting, but life’s like that. I can’t imagine Jerry would do all this planning just to let the robot ruin everything, so more than likely he’s got it programmed to ‘just miss’ everyone. Although considering everyone thinks he’s got no special powers I’m not sure how he plans to take it down without revealing his Third Man identity.
Meantime, let’s all keep in mind that the robot is the last of everyone’s worries. Y’know, massive vengeful alien invasion and all?
Will be really interesting. Until recently Jerry has had the gift of future sight to guide his plans. Now that he is flying blind, his plans may not always work the way he wishes them to.
Alien invasion? Dang, I almost forgot about that! And that’s a great observation, Blackbeard’s Delight. Jerry is flying blind for the first time in a long, long time.
I think Dr. Rocket has a plan of his own. Jerry just dumped his trunks in this strip (see panel 1).
We shall see…
I actually considered Dr. Rocket double crossing (single crossing?) Jerry as well.
I love the ominousness of the second panel….makes the zap in the 4th panel all the better.
Actually if you’ll look more closely? The robot has them both stone cold and ready to fire. It’s not ominous or building tension…. JERRY commissioned this robot. He more than likely made sure to have Nikola program it to NOT harm or kill Spy-gal, the woman he loves. The woman that this is partially all for. Wanting to make it as realistic as possible however? He PROBABLY didn’t make the same request for himself. Hence Donut-tron fires immediately after she runs off and is clear of its line of fire. And I agree with the general consensus that Jerry there is having one of those “Holy #$%^” moments of hindsight. I also can’t help but wonder if she doesn’t know…. That’s a VERY thoughtful look on her face in panel 4. I would love to debate this at length with ya Brock.
I don’t think debating with ME would be all that productive since I actually KNOW what everyone is thinking. But feel free to have it out with everyone else!
I can’t help but appreciate the irony of a giant robot whose torso looks amazingly like a giant CAMERA in Las Vegas. It looks like a camera on purpose right? š I know it’s actually some kind of projection array for a horrible super weapon…. But it’s Jerry’s camera. Jerry’s camera that takes fatal shots instead of landscape shots. Also I bet it’s perfectly powerful enough to handle landscapes…. or even panoramics.

Because no one in their right mind goes to Vegas and DOESN’T take a camera with them. š I know it’s actually some kind of projection array for a horrible super weapon…. But it’s Jerry’s camera.

This giant robot, like all giant robots, is simply misunderstood. I think you’re right on the money. He just wants to take pretty pictures! But he’s clumsy, so it looks like he’s trying to kill people instead. Poor, poor robot.
Some of those places request that folk refrain from flash photography for a reason….. Donut-tron says ‘@#$%&* flash photography this!’
