Frank's Sketchbook Entry of the Day

In an email message, my boss wrote, "Ken said that if his robot works, he can make cds for a lot less than $1 a piece..." Of course, the first thing that runs through my mind is, "What if Ken's robot ISN'T working?" or more accurately, "What if it's not working the way it should be working?" Now, since this is a question regarding robots, I think it's safe to assume any malfunction implicitly implies that the robot will be rampaging through town, destroying all in its path, leaving a trail of smoldering ruins in its wake. Why would a seemingly innocent CD-making robot grow to almost 10 meters tall, and rampage through town using its new-found laser heat-vision rays? Well, I'd be hard pressed to speculate here, but I'd think it must have something to do with the Evil Chip.

And while the two foreground characters are supposed to represent me and my boss, they don't necessarily look a thing like us. I just wanted her character to be unfazed by it all, after all, it just means Ken's robot isn't working...just yet. Oh, and that's a tanker truck that it set on fire with its "laser" in the background.

This also was an experiment. I scanned the image at 1200dpi instead of 300 and then shrunk it back to the normal size in Photoshop. I think it does look sharper. Oh, and remember to click on the image to see it on a pure white background...looks much better and easier to read the words.
