    Fear the Mom-Glare! Even I’m feeling the heat through my screen.

    • Matt [in Middletown]

      The Mom-Glare!
      It’s too powerful!

      • Kaiden

        If only there were a way to channel the power of the Mom-Glare at the Apers.

          The mental image of metallic behemoths cowering in the corner just made me snort coffee out my nose.
          Owwie.

          • Voduxe

            Better coffee than what I had…

          • Matt [in Middletown]

            Sinus coffee, the wave of the future!

            Way back when doing on site maintenance contracts I would caution clients about drinking and reading email or forums. Blasting a mouth full of hot java thru one’s nose wouldn’t kill the common cold, but it would fry the keyboard and the four to five grand worth of computer attached to it in that era. Ouch!

            I once said something off the wall in response to a question, the office desk drone responded by laughing his bottled water down into a monitor.
            Impressive lightshow.

          • DrCrazy102

            I am trying so hard to not laugh through my nose at the moment! I’m failing so badly!

  • Ydo Ucare

    Not to complain….again…(I think I’ve become the designated whiner around here), but Angeline just got super white. Luckily she’s conveniently standing by her door so I can read her name and be sure its her and not her secret twin who’s never seen the light of day.

    And now to counteract my kvetching, a compliment for the artist: the little robot feet scurrying away in the last panel are the best things I’ve seen today. I don’t know why, but it just makes me so happy inside to imagine the little robot guiltily/happily prancing off. And Lily’s facial expressions are great. She’s so expressive!

    • Voduxe

      Lilly does have to speak somehow. When’s the last time she spoke a word aloud?

      • Delta-v

        Never. At least not while she’s been in the comic. The only vocal sound she’s made was a series of coughs when Tenzin found her hanging in the bunker at Arkjut. She spent the time during the ambush battle fading in and out of consciousness. The last we saw of her then was her standing mutely as Tenzin passed out from shock and blood loss. Since she got to Minerva, she apparently hasn’t said anything either.

        She may, in fact, have been incapable of speech even before the Deathbot attacked Arkjut-at this point, we just don’t know.

        • DrCrazy102

          “At this point, we just don’t know” = “we haven’t really found an appropriate place to have her speak and have Tenzin/Angeline/Jane say ‘Her first words since Arkjut'”

          You’re hatching a plan and just don’t want to drop any breadcrumbs but I’m onto you like a conspiracy theorist on military secrets ;)

          • Delta-v

            Well, I wasn’t supposed to tell you this, but…….Lily is a MIME. It’s important to us for people tp love her, so we cleaned off her greasepaint and took away her beret and striped sweatshirt to keep people from hating her like they do all other mimes.

            Boy, I sure am glad I didn’t have to tell you some cheesy, made up story to throw you off the track. >>

        • Voduxe

          That was my point.

          • Delta-v

            Oh, okay. I thought it was a direct question, My mistake. Sorry. :)

          • Voduxe

            I use vague questions that make people think. Hard to get mad over the common resulting confusions.

          • Delta-v

            The Socratic Method Voduxe-style huh? Now that I know, I’ll try not to step on you again. :)

  • Pemigewasset ex pat

    “And just WHERE do you think YOU’RE going, little missy?!”
    THAT is mom speak. Right now Angeline is still at elder sister/cousin level. She won’t Mom until she’s much more comfortable in the role & way more fed up/exasperated with her shenanigans.

  • Adriano

    Tek tek tek * “Aw sh*t !”
    The last panel made me laugh a lit xD

  • Voduxe

    Checkmate. Maternal instincts FTW! Seriously. This woman has those two nailed down pretty well.

  • Ooh, Jane is so busted! But I wonder if she’s going to share the information she just heard in that meeting.

  • Mark Linimon

    We need some more votes to make sure to stay in the top 100 for this month.

    • Delta-v

      We really need to vote and encourage others to vote from Saturday on, which would be after the vote count resets. Votes cast in the next 19 days will give TDA a leg up on August.

      What about the rest if the month? KEEP VOTING of course! ^^

      I have a new personal goal. In it’s entire existence, The Demon Archives has never gotten 1000 votes in a month. To do this would require about 35 votes per day. We’re currently averaging in the high twenties, so just 7 - 8 new consistent voters would do the trick. Would anyone else out there like to join the team? :)

      • DrCrazy102

        I’ll try but I’m not always online everyday.
        *Thinks it over* Maybe if I delete PC cookies …
        *distracted thinking about cookies, starts eating cookie*

        • Delta-v

          Heh, heh, thanks for trying. ^^

          Seriously, though, everything helps. Every vote is deeply appreciated. :)

  • Sheela

    I’m impressed with how much emotion the artists manages to give that little robot, despite having no hands, no arms and no facial expressions.

    • Delta-v

      There’s just one main artist, but he’s AWESOME! :)

      • Sheela

        Well, that just makes it even more impressive. :)

      • :D

        One man, a Wacom, and a nigh unstoppable opponent.
        Watch as Seb defeats Deathbot in a no holds barred arena match using only his art skills!
        Coming this fall to Pay Per View!

        • Xylas Incarnum

          Well if he used a brush such as Walt’s which is locked in the Warehouse, which would bring whatever he painted to… “life” that would mean that he could paint weapons that would work against the bot… such as a friendly, to him, D-bot.

          • Matt [in Middletown]

            “I am to you as a GOD! I created you, you will do my bidding!”
            *And the hordes of Deathbots bowed to worship the One True Seb*

    • Thanks!

  • Xylas Incarnum

    Aaaannnddd… Busted.

    Little lost robot… he he. Mom always knows when you are up to something.
