Yeah, David usually gets the short end of the stick… sorry about the ranty strip, but I wanted to get the backstory out of the way and do more character building strips as we go along.
Anyhow! I’ve been a busy beaver beyond Atomic Laundromat these past two weeks, and it turns out two guests strips I worked on are out today! I have a guest strip over at Maritza Campos’ College Roomies from Hell - one of the web’s oldest comics, it’s been around 10 years and kicking. Go check it out if a twisted sense of humor in outlandish situations (in a college dorm, no less) are up your alley. At any point in time there may be aliens, satanic posession, high schoolers in french maid outfits and werecoyotes.
I also have a guest strip over at Lee Almodovar’s Eccentricity - a webcomic in which an ancient Egyptian god may or may not be trying to take over the world (it’s usually hard to tell) through the use of kitty/dog hybrids. Exploding interns, cyborgs and aliens as well round out the cast and crew.
And if you haven’t checked it out since Friday, here’s a feature I made on how an Atomic Laundromat strip is put together!
I’m a little annoyed that you managed to sum up my comic so well when I can’t even figure out what the plot is. Despite that, I really love Fix. All floaty. I figured that playing fetch with him would be pointless as he can just teleport to where he thinks the stick will land.
Ha! Danielle sure does like to blurt out the inappropriate!

I found your comic because of your guest strip on College Roomies and read every one of your strips in about 2 hours. EXCELLENT comic, and definitely one I’m adding to my bookmarks to check every few days. I’m pretty sure you need to start branching out into T-Shirt of your characters/heroes/situations, cause they would be great.
Thanks for the kind comments! I’m really insecure about products stuff. My nightmare is that i’ll be wearing brand new Atomic Laundromat shirts and thongs for the rest of my life. Or something equally as disturbing.
But then you’d never have to do laundry again.
Or you could take your AL merchandise clothing down to your local regular laundromat. And wreck havoc.
Just tell them you have some quantum beer and unicorn pee stains that need to be taken care of.
I love exposition. Especially when it answers long standing questions about the strip.
Apparently, Exposition Cat is your friend. And Exposition.
And she wuvs big bruvver.
That, she does. She’s the little sister type of clingy.
Surely you meant that the other way around..? She’s the clingy type of little sister.
I think he got it right,Shes the type of clingy that a little sister is,as opposed to the kind of clingy a stalker,overbearing mother,jealous girlfriend,Etc is …
Holy Crap I hadn’t thought of that! If Mrs. Messiah is an Empress, then technically that makes David a prince… O_O
Well anyway don’t worry about lengthy backstories, I find them interesting. You can even throw in a flashback or two if you want, I won’t mind.
And have I mentioned how adorable she is? I guess if she’s destined to be the next empress, the empire will one day be good and benevolent. Granted, I get the impression Mrs. Messiah isn’t exactly the evil tyrant she once was, anyway…
So, is it significant that Dani can apparently rag on Angie without fear of a lawsuit? Because I thought David was the only one with diplomatic immunity…
I will rarety throw in direct flashbacks… I think the characters reacquainting each other with their pasts and their stories is much more natural.
David’s not a prince – the royal birthmarks (lack thereof) rule him out.
Although he might be eligible for the position of Royal Floor Scrubber.
