WCDT strips 3276-3280 - 1st to 5th August 2016
Akima:
I think Punchbot getting damaged and dismembered is just part of the Robot Fight kayfabe... The fans expect to see some hydraulic fluid flowing, so the fighters deliver.
Welu:
He may choose to be what is known in RASSLIN as a "jobber". It's not glamorous but someone has to be a consistent loser so there's a consistent winner and makes others look good.
There's been nothing to suggest the fights are predetermined but with the names and chassis designs, there seems to be a bit of intentional showmanship.
While you were searching through gifs for ten minutes, someone else made a post making a related point in a more succinct way. However you didn't find that gif for nothing so click post anyway.
Gyrre:
--- Quote from: Tova on 03 Aug 2016, 00:52 ---Not sure why you think that doing something you want out of life means you wouldn't or shouldn't be paid for it.
Punchbot's probably their star attraction.

A very good question for all those folks that offer to "pay" artists with 'exposure' and expect them to be greatful for it.
Case:
--- Quote from: Carl-E on 01 Aug 2016, 05:28 ---Ok, emotional, check; but the 'donk' and the last panel also made me laugh. Jeph captures the blend of life so well... I'm quite sure the only reason my wife & I are still together after thirty years is that we're able to laugh together at life.
--- End quote ---
“Lots Of Laughter And Sex”
You said, when we embarked on this great adventure together, that lots of laughter was essential in a relationship.
I agreed.
You also made the point that a great deal of sex was of equal importance.
Again, I agreed. Wholeheartedly.
In fact I remember your exact words: laughter and sex are the barometers of a relationship. This was the statement you made, if I remember correctly.
Don’t get me wrong. I couldn’t agree more. But no at the same time, ya fucking cow.
(Irvine Welsh, "The Acid House", 1995)

At least Punchbot's doing what he loves?
