Adding Insult to Injury! Snipe Victims Unite!

Spike Victims, Too.

The boys strike again! No Goat Man but at least they found (and insulted) Zee 80!

Zee 80

The concept of Zee 80 (or just Zee) is a tribute to the robot tropes from the 1970’s/1980’s that included technology far beyond the contemporary technological limitations. Many of the generation who grew up watching The Bionic Man now have their own new artificial augmentation to leg/hip/shoulder. I think they all agree that The Bionic Man made artificial augmentation look a lot cooler than reality. Another recurring trope of this comic is called “Orphans of Apollo.” Orphans of Apollo is the term for the Gen X folks who were promised moon bases and robot best friends. Roombas and Alexis are not the same! Oh, and flying cars.

Zee 80 has all the superpowers of a Radio Shack TRS-80 computer. No hacking into satellites for this robot!

Joe is a husband, #girldad, and Orphan of Apollo. He has drawn critters since riding the bus in 5th grade, and they have appeared on notes to loved ones, graffiti in a Latin classroom (sorry Rev. Dr Clark!), training slides for work, a newsletter in Alaska, and notes to his wife Tracy, who encouraged him to share them with the world. Contains pop culture references, stuff from the news, but mostly bad dad jokes.
