TVs just don’t grow on trees.
Update: If you are a new reader, here’s what you need to know!
David is the guy with glasses, he runs the Laundromat (or attempts to). Comes from a whole family of super powered individuals – but he doesn’t have any powers and is not interested in getting them, either.
Angela is the redhaired freckled lady. She’s a lawyer specializing in superheroic hijinks (like getting sued after flattening a city, for example). She’s fiery, spunky yet terribly insecure (secretly). Wishes she had powers and her latest exploit is stealing borrowing the control rod for a spare battle armor in David’s laundromat.
Bob is a big robot that transforms into a washing machine. Eventually. Partial to kittens and ducks.
The Duck – after snacking on radioactive waste, the duck gains the power to teleport itself and others. when properly fed of course.
There are more characters, of course – take the time to read the archives and I think you’ll enjoy!

I just read your entire series in the space of… I’d say an hour.
I love it.
Most unwanted Superpower, if you HATE someone enough, an anti-pathic link forms,and if you ham yourself,you feel the pain,but they take the damage.
everybody know ducks have mental powers beyond our imagination!
My Discount sense is Tingling!!
Well at least it was a decent price, but I worry on what else the duck bought.
Wild animals with credit cards. Sounds like a hit video! Now in this TV only special offer, you can get Ducks Gone Wild free when you buy the History of Laundromats 12 disk collection! Order NOW! Limited Time Offer. (Offer not valid in states with standards)(500% sales tax for orders in DC)
Credit is evil… That duck is learning the ways of the dark side! Lord have mercy on us all… Anyway, new theory I just thought of:
Somewhere down the line, some random douchebag supervillain will hurt Angie or Juno, or someone else David cares about, causing him to go completely apeshit and obliterate him, using an immense, unimaginable power he never even knew he had, and that his parents have long since disavowed…
Either that, or he’ll just get his ass kicked. Either way, we’re in for a lot of fun, right?
David having superpowers which even bordered on being useful or painless would cause the omniverse to implode.
Plus it would kinda spoil the central premise, don’t you think?
I agree with Malcolm,the only way David could ever save the day is by accident.
Like he lays an egg that rolls away and sets off some Rube Goldberg-esque series of events that knock the villain.(Or maybe he has already laid the egg that saves the day?)
Actually, I was picturing some twisted, horrible power that’s more curse than blessing, which would explain why his parents would keep mum about it. Not to mention, it really is rather odd that David would inherit no powers whatsoever… That’s like if Superman and Wonder Woman had a kid, who grew up to become a janitor in Detroit. He’d have to be like the ultimate squib or something… Oh wait, this is David we’re talking about lol… Well, this is all just baseless speculation of course, but it’s fun to theorize, innit? You may be right about that starchild egg though, I had almost forgotten about it… (Or should it be starduck?)
It would be kinda gainst character/premise. There *are* some things that I make up as I go along by the seat of my pants, but certain things (David, Angela and Bob’s backstories) are part of the Atomic Laundromat “bible” – my set of notes that inform my writing and ensure they keep “in character”. I’ve actually abandoned completely finished strips after I realize they are against character…
I see. In that case, I’m prolly just bein a lunatic… And yet for some reason, I’ve never quite been able to shake the feeling that there’s more to David than meets the eye… BTW, Now I’m curious to see these forsaken comics of yours
. Any chance you’ll publish a “Lost in the Dryer” edition, or something like that?
