Crush All Hu-Mans is the latest collection of strips from the excellent robosexual webcomic Diesel Sweeties, a pixellated tribute to love, robots, and world domination. In Crush, Red Robot takes center stage: bent on the destruction of all humanity ("Destroy all that lives! Mutilate the corpses! Flay and tear and maim and pirate music!") he finds himself awkwardly between Clango Cyclotron (the human-loving bot) and Menace-11, the all-black nihilist-bot who's just back from a stint volunteering in Robotania.

The slim volume is good for big, angry, bloody-spattered laughs, filled with the kind of robotic non-sequiturs that makes Diesel Sweeties such a charming strip.

What's more, R. Stevens and co are selling a plush, knitted Red Robot with savage claws for all your self-loathing human robo-cuddling needs.

CRUSH ALL HU-MANS! Book

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Considering the deviant nature of that comic, I believe it would be an opportune time to refresh everyones memory of their middle school hygiene classes.

    You have your choice of videos, it’s either “I Dated a Robot!” or “Electro-Gonorrhea, The Noisy killer”

    Diesel Sweeties is still around?

    I wonder if the Homestar Runner guys are still making cartoons…

  • Big Daddy

    This comic is not “excellent”.

    I once wasted an entire day reading 2 years of this comic, and I think I laughed about 4 times.

    If that’s the metric for excellence in comic strips, Garfield is the pinnacle of humor.

  • Bimmi

    Given that this site regularly champions the execrable XKCD, hyping the merely mediocre seems like a step up to me.

    Four laughs in two years sounds about right for DS, though.

    When my list of “awesome webcomics to check each day” consumes more than the time between updates for each of those comics, I hope you guys will be happy with yourselves.
