Petition to replace Rich

[Fascisticide]

And to all of you who post asking when the comic will come and thinking Rich is sick and dying because his webcomic is one day late, I have prepared this petition asking that all webcomic artists be replaced by robots because robots are never late and don't get sick.

* Signs petition *

[holywhippet]

Hmm, how exactly does one program a robot so that it has a sense of humour?

[jindra34]

yes but robots generall (99.999% of the time) are not creative. I'll chose creativity over promptness any day.

[Geilan]

2 words: Robot Overlords

You do NOT want those

[jindra34]

*proposes that said petition be cut in half*

[Geilan]

Seconded by me

[Lord Xaedien]

I for one welcome our new robot overlord. May death come swiftly upon his enemies.

[Priceless_Ming]

I dunno, with the robots in charge, all we can dance to is techno...

[holywhippet]

When they are being creative, they are generally malfunctioning.

[Darkxarth]

Indeed. It would be wise to give in to our new Robot Overlord's demands. For our Robot Overlord is invincible and angers easily.

and malfunctions are bad... they are too much like what Rich is going through now.

[ElfLad]

When they are being creative, they are generally malfunctioning.
Disassemble Stephanie.

[Timberboar]

This thread begs the question...

Just when is Johnny Five going to start his webcomic?

[The_Werebear]

Best of Both Worlds!

Give all webcomic creators cyborg implants. Even if the living part of the writer is dead, the cyborg half will claw its way out of the coffin to get the strip out.

Moved and seconded. All in favor?

[heretic]

I think fascisticide should be replaced.

[HuoMaKe]

Moved and seconded. All in favor?

AYE! Rich is the Giant we know and love. Even if my OotS is delayed. A lot.

[Geilan]

Aye, I'm in favor

[turtleant120]

I dunno, with the robots in charge, all we can dance to is techno...
So, I like Techno.
*does the robot*

[Goldfish Lord]

No replacements! RESIST THE TECHNO!!!

[ObiwanNekody]

Robot overlords would be ok. assuming that they are run on non Microsoft software...
But I want my web comics to be from humans. Or at least really really complex AI's that I can't tell the difference between them and a human...
Along that line of thought, I haven't actually met anyone on these forums, so how do I know you are not all robots?

[Tharr]

The next CSI: New York.
Case of missing web comic artist.

[Knight13]

Along that line of thought, I haven't actually met anyone on these forums, so how do I know you are not all robots?
Can a robot do THIS?

*eats a donut*

[LoopyZebra]

Robot overlords would be ok. assuming that they are run on non Microsoft software...

HERESY! I call out Heresy! Burn the witch! :smallsmile:

[Gaelbert]

BURN THE PETITION! Burn it with the fiery hotness of a thousand hecks! Definitely in favor of cutting the petition. You have my vote.

[theinsulabot]

I for one welcome our new robot overlord.

they should allow you to simply quote a message and post it, as occasionally someone has said exactly what you were going to, but it still needs to be emphasized

[Thorin]

Creative robots? whats next? halflings whit rights? or maybe elves whit a fair trial? get real!

Nha, just kindding. I think that we all can be calm whit no comic.

[elliott20]

maybe the Rich in bed *IS* a robot, but the real one is actually out fighting crime in a costume or something. what? It could happen!

You... obviously have not read enough webcomics then. There are a lot of webcomics out there that make me wonder if it's creator is in fact a robot. It's that awful.

[Moik]

I hereby endorse this petition as having a robot complete the comic for him would give Rich more time to work on the comic.

[Demented]

I hereby endorse this petition, if and only if the robot in question is Durandal. Made of win.

[J_Muller]

But, don't you see? This is just one step towards world domination for the robots. If they control webcomics, they can control culture. If they control culture, they can make slaves of us all. And if the robots win, we'll have to listen to techno!

*proposes that people understand a joke.*

he is clearly making fun of people who are saying OMZ WHERE IS COMICZ

Yes, but if we had robots writing jokes, you would get page after page of:

That was terrible.:smalltongue:

[DrivinAllNight]

Well, hopefully the new overlord is like Bender, lots of beer, and lot's of other stuff he likes that I will refrain from public posting.
So yeah, welcome Robotic Overlord :smallsmile:

[DrivinAllNight]

Yes, but if we had robots writing jokes, you would get page after page of:

(for fun, pop open a binary translator and decode that).

I would like to think the robots have some more advanced system, like maybe Hex
41 20 68 6f 72 73 65 20 77 61 6c 6b 73 20 69 6e 74 6f 20 61 20 62 61 72 20 61 6e 64 20 74 68 65 20 62 61 72 74 65 6e 64 65 72 20 73 61 79 73 20 22 77 68 79 20 74 68 65 20 6c 6f 6e 67 20 66 61 63 65 22 2e
much less space and gets the same point across.

[DrivinAllNight]

:smallsmile: personally, this would be my favorite Binary though:smallsmile:

01001001 00100000 01110000 01110010 01100101 01110000 01100001 01110010 01100101 01100100 00100000 01100101 01111000 01110000 01101100 01101111 01110011 01101001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01110010 01110101 01101110 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01101101 01101111 01110010 01101110 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100001

My only hint is this :vaarsuvius:

[1dominator]

HERESY! I call out Heresy! Burn the witch! :smallsmile:

AAAPOOOOCOLYPSEEEEEEEE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!

[Jazzvader]

Seconded by me

I third your motion

[DrivinAllNight]

also, as far as removing Mr. Burlew, i would also like to motion to dismiss the idea of replacing him, sure i like robot overlords who act like Bender, but Bender could never write a good comic, so motion to dismiss needs to be carried out.

[Green Bean]

Why replace him when we can have the best of both worlds? We need to place the Giant's brain in a robot body.

[Hypothetical]

Are you kidding? It looks like it, and yet it's so hard to be sure on the Net.

I don't think anyone could possibly replace Rich in writtting this Comic.

[Professor Tanhauser]

And to all of you who post asking when the comic will come and thinking Rich is sick and dying because his webcomic is one day late, I have prepared this petition asking that all webcomic artists be replaced by robots because robots are never late and don't get sick.

* Signs petition *


Y'know, your tone is just totally uncalled for. We're not all upset and worried because the comis is over a day late, we're a little concerned because rich always let's us know if it's going to be late, and he hasn't, which is unusual for him.

So please save the snark for other forums.

[Icewalker]

*signs petition to cut original petition in half*

There we go.

[Tharr]

The clone of Rich just rebooted.
Love the dark side.

[Silverlocke980]

I think that Rich has the right to get sick and be late with comics like a normal human being, so I say, no.

This petition remains unsigned!

[Fascisticide]

*proposes that people understand a joke.*

he is clearly making fun of people who are saying OMZ WHERE IS COMICZ
At least some people here understand sarcasm better than robots do

[HyperJen]

People, has Battlestar Galactica taught you nothing?

Sure, we'll get smokin' hawt skin jobs, but the toasters will still shove us into outer space where we will have no access to Earth based webcomics!

*shakes head*

[jindra34]

*grabs original petition and cuts it in half with a katana*

[Querzis]

Why replace him when we can have the best of both worlds? We need to place the Giant's brain in a robot body.

Now thats a great idea but Rich brain probably wont be as fonctionnal inside a robot. I say we download his personnality inside a robot. Then we would have Rich and techno!

Anyway, I know its hard to detect sarcasm on the net but seriously but that one was kinda obvious guys. We talk about robot and some people take this seriously? What the hell? Well its kinda funny to see people overreact anyway.

[happyturtle]

Everyone knows that robots will eventually go insane, run amok, and begin slaughtering humans. I mean, that's just common sense.

[Blood]

Disassemble Stephanie.
I nearly cried during that scene. Wow, I know I'm not that old, but that still brings back memories. :smallsmile:

[/off-topic]BURN THE PETITION! BURN IT! :smallamused:

[malakim2099]

So please save the snark for other forums.

Seconded, mainly because I (like many) was wondering if Rich had died in a horrible blimp accident or something.

Okay, maybe that was just me, but the only robot I want writing this comic (instead of Rich) would be a Dalek that thought it was Xykon. :smallamused:

[knightsaline]

Pathetic meatbags with the constant sloshing of unnecessary fluids, complaining about a meatbag being sick. Furons could do it better than these meatbags. if one Furon is sick, furons just clone the one who was sick with immunity to that sickness.

[Alfryd]

You do all realise the OP was sarcastic?




Indeed. It would be wise to give in to our new Robot Overlord's demands. For our Robot Overlord is invincible and angers easily.
Would these be shapely female Cylon overlords, or the C3PO variety?

People, has Battlestar Galactica taught you nothing?
Sure. That we could all be Cylons, many of which seem to have a profound and driven interest in prolongued threesomes with amoral, hyperintelligent narcissist scientists.
And there was something about the slaughter of billions..? I dunno.
I wasn't really paying attention.

Everyone knows that [humans] will eventually go insane, run amok, and begin slaughtering humans. I mean, that's just common sense.
There, fixed.

Pathetic meatbags with the constant sloshing of unnecessary fluids, complaining about a meatbag being sick.
But transfer of bodily fluids is a neccesary aspect of advanced procreational experiments.
...Stop laughing!!


I hereby endorse this petition, if and only if the robot in question is Durandal.
Interesting fact: In the Paladins of Charlemagne myth cycle, Durandal is the name of Sir Roland's magic sword.

[Blaznak]

Actually, Rich was replaced by a Robot around episode 48. The robot was installed with a randomly triggered "Frustrat-O-Meter" that would SIMULATE random webcomic lateness. Mr. Burlew, I understand, actually was cashed out of this project for 8.7 Million dollars and now plays Tom Hank's stunt double in movies and when he is not living on the beach on his private island off the coast of Florida.

(Hee hee~)

But on the off chance that's all Net Rumors, I'm never concerned if the comic's late or missing because a person's health, life, etc. is more important. Every time I've met the man I though he was just a real nice guy.

Later!
