[Link] Robot Stories: Real Tales of Retail [Date] 2/22/01 [Comments] 
Part of the "Diesel Sweeties" robot empire, this comic uses the prism of the mechanical man to tell alternately transcendently metaphorical or depressingly true-life stories of the retail grind. It's ingeniously coded to look like it's been drawn on the back of a paper bag when the boss isn't looking (and in the early stages, was updated infrequently enough to believe it). Although it's really well drawn, I'm a fan of "Robot Stories" for the writing. So far it hasn't lost its originality in the first few strips, so I get the impression that Neil will be able to milk that crappy job for ideas for a long while. Update 6/5/03 Still going strong, after a frightening break around January 2003. Update 1/8/04 On Sabattical while the author reconsiders his motivation.
