    “These robot slaves aren’t half as much fun as the boys in leather posing pouches, are they?”

  2. Tor Mented Says:

    When she tells the robot she wants that martini shaken, not stirred, you just know she has an ulterior motive.

    I’d usually fear a robot bearing a Greek gift, but in this case I’ll make an exception.

  4. Tat Wood Says:

    So do robots have organic hood-ornaments?

    I normally wonder about metal/ glass-fibre leotards and how anyone gets in or out of them unaided but this one seems to be a very peculiar shape anyway. Must have been the heat from the city she incinerated.

  5. Ryan Says:

    @Tat Wood – My thoughts exactly.

    She looks pretty fit, though, so she probably just takes a running jump at and over the outfit as it is suspended in the air by bungee straps. Pointing her toes, she enters it from above and slides down into position – kerplunk.

    The hat goes on second, unless she is feeling particularly energetic.

    Go home, Athena. You’re drunk.

  8. MaxBathroom Says:

    @Tat
    I love those old Wizard of Id cartoons: way better than the BC stuff ever was.

  9. Ryan Says:

    @Tat Wood #6 – Precisely so.

    Although maybe the bottle is actually full of the olive oil necessary to facilitate the process.

  10. Bruce A Munro Says:

    It looks like some sort of drinks advertisement aimed at the _discerning_ space barbarian.

  11. GSS ex-noob Says:

    So she’s almost literally poured into her outfit — kerplunked, at least — and then she has to ride a metal robot with nothing covering her thighs. Depending on the ambient temperature, the robot is either going to be freezing cold or burning hot, and there’s chafing either way.

    No wonder she needs to drink.

    @Tat: I knew I’d seen that sort of clothes-donning before!

    @Bruce: GSS! That’s exactly what it seems. It’s like a 50s ad in Esquire. Next page is the eyepatch guy in dress shirt, except his eyepatch is now a laser.

  12. Hammy Says:

    I dunno. Whatever’s in the bottle must not smell or taste very good. Athena’s body position looks like she’s recoiling in horror or fear or something.

    Probably not good for the robot’s balance.

  13. GSS ex-noob Says:

    @Hammy: “Robo-slave, take a note: I really MUST grab the *good* booze before the cities go up in flames.”

  14. Hammy Says:

    @GSSxn (#prev.):

    Maybe Athena was too late with her looting and pillaging when the city went up in flames, so all the good stuff was gone.

    Then again, if that was so, Athena would probably just blame poor Robo-slave for moving too slow or having a faulty GPS or something….
