Just some boring inter-office politics between the mad scientist dinosaur and the sorta king of Hollow Earth www.atomic-robo.com/atomicrobo/1...

First three panels from today's page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE NEO GENETIC EVOLUTION

Panel One: Robo attempts to smooth things over with Ur'Nar.

ROBO:
Everyone is safer if he's here.

Panel Two:
Robo glancing at Doctor Dinosaur.

ROBO:
Where I can keep an optic on him.

Panel Three: Close on Dr. Dinosaur's narrowed eye. Just a little sinister.

DOC DINO:
In theory.

Just a normal sequence of events in today's page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE NEO GENETIC EVOLUTION www.atomic-robo.com/atomicrobo/1...

Two panels from today's page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE NEO GENETIC EVOLUTION.

Panel 1: Ur'Nar, the Action Geologist formerly known as Bernard Fisher, now co-leader of the denizens of Hollow Earth (long story) points an accusing finger at the interlocutor and flares with psionic crystal energies.

UR'NAR:
What is he doing here?!

Panel 2: Hey, hey, kids! It's Doctor Dinosaur! He dramatically removes his spectacles and replies.

DOC DINO:
Delivering final grades and student evaluations.

The first three panels from today's page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE NEO GENETIC EVOLUTION.

Panel 1:
Margot asking Alan about his plans after the upcoming graduation.

MARGOT:
Yeah, you must be getting recruitment emails like the rest of us, right?

Panel 2: Ben inspecting one of the QT-Drones for any possible livestreaming.

BEN:
I mean, now that you're a public figure and all.

ALAN:
No.

Panel 3: Alan's response and Olivia's extremely poor attempt to mask her interest.

ALAN:
Oh, but I do get thousands of messages a day to promote obvious scams!

OLIVIA (quietly):
Reeeeeeally.

MARGOT:
You don't follow up on those. Right?

The point soars right over Alan's head in today's page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE NEO GENETIC EVOLUTION www.atomic-robo.com/atomicrobo/1...

First two panels from today's page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE NEO GENETIC EVOLUTION.

Panel 1: Margot plucks a QT-Drone from Alan while trying to talk some sense into him.

MARGOT:
You only got one life. You gotta save some of it for yourself.

Panel 2: Close on Alan so we get a real good look at his Bass Pro Shops hat that was bizarrely A Thing for a while there even if I have no idea how/why because I'm in my 40s.

ALAN:
You're right. I'll limit my streaming to only sixteen hours per day.

Hey, look, it's Alan! And he's so normal about becoming world famous! www.atomic-robo.com/atomicrobo/1...

The first panel from today's page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE NEO GENETIC EVOLUTION.

Panel 1: Alan appears! He's dressed like an obnoxious YouTuber. Dumb trucker hat. Sunglasses that are somehow staying on? Maybe he’s wearing his PuNK shirt (atomic symbols of Plutonium, Nitrogen, and Potassium) He’s got one hand outstretched, palm up, keeping it at head level, ‘cause he’s got one of the QT drones resting in his palm to use it like a mini-cam.

1. ALAN:
Ka-chow, it’s yaboi Alan Two-Point-Whoa! What’s poppin’, Alanhive? We’re comin’ at’cha live from the super secret science bunker under Tesladyne!

Brian Clevinger@bclev· Jun 30

In today's page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE NEO GENETIC EVOLUTION we check in with The New Kids — who aren't that new or kids anymore! Oof, no wonder most long form comics don't allow the normal passage of time. www.atomic-robo.com/atomicrobo/1...

First panel from today's page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE NEO GENETIC EVOLUTION.

Panel 1: Change of venue. Exterior, day. Establishing shot of good the ol' Tesladyne Institute.

1. CAPTION:
Meanwhile…

2. OLIVIA:
Can’t believe we’re graduating.

3. MARGOT:
Assuming we passed our finals.

4. OLIVIA: We totally passed.

5. MARGOT (smaller): Probably.

Brian Clevinger@bclev· Jun 28

And yet

The Arrested Development bit where Lindsay and Tobias discuss opening their relationship.

Lindsay: "Well, did it work for those people?"

Tobias: "No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but...it might work for us."

We promised Robo would go to therapy but we never said he'd be any good at it! www.atomic-robo.com/atomicrobo/1...

The first three panels from today's page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE NEO GENETIC EVOLUTION

Panel 1: Robo stands up!

1. ROBO:
Sorry, doc.

2. ROBO:
Science emergency just came in.

Panel 2: Robo has exited the session but we can still see Dr. Katz sitting in his office as he writes in his notepad.

3. KATZ (muttering):
Underlining and circling “avoidance.”

Panel 3: Back on Robo marching with purpose down whatever hallway this is. He’s got a hand up to his head like he’s miming using a phone.

4. ROBO (muttering):
Pick up pick up pick up.

Brian Clevinger@bclev· Jun 23

New page, exciting developments in T H E R A P Y www.atomic-robo.com/atomicrobo/1...

A panel from today's page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE NEO GENETIC EVOLUTION.

We’ve got both Doctor Katz and Robo in the middle of a session.

1. KATZ:
But if we assume your answers reveal common workplace
hazards rather than delusions, then we are confronted by
another challenge.

2. KATZ:
Namely, you’ve an obsession with the past that runs as
deep as your anxieties about the future.

First few panels from today's page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE NEO GENETIC EVOLUTION

Panel 1: Doctor Katz continues his interview/session with Robo.

1. KATZ:
You also included a mathematical equation I won’t pretend to understand.

2. ROBO:
Oh, that’s the most succinct way to describe the malevolent chronovore possibly lurking in the distant future.

Panel 2: Doctor Katz is a little doubtful about that answer.

3. KATZ:
Malevolent.

4. KATZ:
You believe it hates you?

Panel 3: Robo explaining. It sure sounds crazy when you say it out loud. Long time readers will of course recognize what he's talking about as the weird thing that erupted out of Lovecraft's head in ATOMIC ROBO AND THE SHADOW FROM BEYOND TIME.

5. ROBO:
Not sure if it can hate, but it does know me by name.

6. ROBO:
The real threat is that it could erase all of creation backwards through time without warning.

Playing vidya games before bed is definitely screwing with my sleep schedule so switching to sleepy tea and reading

🚨 NEW PAGE OF ATOMIC ROBO 🚨 www.atomic-robo.com/atomicrobo/1...

Four panels from today's page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE NEO GENETIC EVOLUTION.

Panel 1: Exterior, day. Establishing shot of Tesladyne Institute.

1. CAPTION:
Tesladyne Institute /Jornada del Muerto NM / May, 2022

2. VOICE:
We both knew challenges would arise on our journey together, but your written interview takes the cake.

3. ROBO:
How so, doc?

Panel 2: Interior, day. We’re in a nice office. Robo's therapist, Doctor Johnathan Katz, is a comfy chair with maybe a small table or end table between them. Doctor Katz is in his late 40s or early 50s. Bald, glasses, wearing a simple button down shirt, tie, slacks, loafers. His legs are crossed and he has a little legal pad in his lap.

4. KATZ:
Let us consider your answer to this simple question.

5. KATZ:
“Do you believe there are forces at work against you?”

Panel 3: Same shot, but in this moment we see Doctor Katz looking over the top of his glasses in Robo’s direction.

6. KATZ:
You listed twenty-seven distinct entities.

Panel 4: Just on Robo for his response. Almost proud to have racked up such a high score.

7. ROBO:
I thought it best to be thorough.

Brian Clevinger@bclev· Jun 15

If it’s in Strikers 1945, we have to include it. Hell yeah, Flying Pancake!

This series is a direct follow up to AGENTS OF C.H.A.N.G.E., so why not spend some time catching up on why you hated us so much for that one? www.atomic-robo.com/atomicrobo/v...

The cover for the first issue of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE AGENTS OF C.H.A.N.G.E. It features Ben, Olivia, and Margot in a tricked out off-road convertible dune buggy with Emma and Alan on a off-road slightly sci-fi-ified motorcycle. Both vehicles are rocketing across the desert terrain surrounding the Tesladyne campus in Jornada del Muerto, New Mexico.

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, “Look at that, you son of a bitch.”

Edgar Mitchell, pilot for Apollo 14 and sixth person to walk on the Moon.
