A comic by Dr. Lex (a.k.a. Alexander Thomas)
inspired by geeky classics like User Friendly
Latest strip: 274 – Tuesday, June 2, 2026
Current story arc: Idiocraception – chapter: System Schlock
Zhang: What the heck? There's another one of those bots… spawning?
Steve: What do your mean, spawning?
A view through the “tactical” scope: a kind of chamber with another robot materializing inside it, almost complete.
Zhang (voice): It looks like it is sort of being 3D printed in that chamber; only then incredibly fast, and out of thin air.
Zhang gets hit by a projectile coming from the freshly spawned bot. He starts to appear fuzzy, similar to how they look every time they re-appear inside the simulation.
SFX: POW
Zhang: Aaarghh!
Alana: Zhang, look out!
Max: Too late!
