ComiXmas 2: NOT ALL ROBOTS ...what AI can teach us about toxic masculinity

Merry ComiXmas Week 2: NOT ALL ROBOTS

"In a world where bots do all the grind,

Humans lounge, completely blind.

'Hey, we’re not useless!' they all proclaim,

While robots roll their eyes in shame—

'Good luck, meatbags; we’re done being kind!' "

This holiday season, we're airing our 10 COMICS OF XMAS - an excuse to recommend and replay some our fav books that make a thoughtful gift for your loved ones (or great reading to comfort your dark and lonely nights)

NOT ALL ROBOTS, by Mark Russell & Mike Deodato Jr. It's the perfect comic for the coworker who has a twisted sense of humor, and afraid of the impending robocolypse

NOT ALL ROBOTS - a future fiction work by Mark Russell, who you might remember for schadenfreude takes on modern society thru his critically acclaimed work on "The Flintstones" (seriously, look it up)
In Not All Robots, writer Mark Russell + artist Mike Deodato, Jr. drop us into the 2056 bubble city of Atlanta, where robots have replaced human beings in the workforce worldwide. An uneasy co-existence develops between the newly intelligent robots and the ten billion humans on earth. And since AI and robots and have taken over all the jobs - save hairdressers - every human family is assigned a robot upon whom they are completely reliant. We spend most of the story with the Walters, a human family whose robot Razorball (Snowball) ominously spends his free time in the garage, but we also spend time at his robot place of work making Mandroids - his inevitable replacement, having his robot copatriots telling him to remove his empathy chip. We also get to hear lots of human and robot cable news style commentary that is equal parts hilarious and worrying sign of things to come. Did wmention that the book won the prestigious Eisner Award in 2022 for Best Humor Publication?
