Thanks for the pocket change! I like the out of control hair and robot parts. As for the face… That’s gonna be tricky. I need a face that’s not too menacing looking, but will be on occasion.

I like the farthest , farthest , farthest one on the right. That one with a robot hand would be great.

Kind of late, but my $.02 is that I think that you are on the right track with the hair. Nothing says “crackpot” like out-of-control hair.

I dunno, I really like the one on the far left. He’s got the robotic parts like Adam, and he looks sort of approachable and avuncular, like a dad ought to, though with a hint of mad scientist about him. I think most of the others look a bit too mean/evil.

But, y’know, like everyone else, I just got two pennies in my pocket, rubbing up against each other. ‘Taint much.

@Doug: Nah, robotics aren’t hereditary, but but they’d help to visually tie everything together I think. As for Adam’s story, I haven’t gone into it yet.

@Me!: I just said I wanted to find a way to email my fist to your face, but I suppose I’ll have to just go with the old fashion snail mail bomb… uh, I mean, I hope you enjoy the cookies I sent.

@MJ: Oh man… you’re lucky I haven’t been doing a great job of keeping up my production.

Like the sketchwork. Trying to play the catch up game.

Careful with that “slap me” offer, Doug. Jim tried to email me a punch in the face yesterday. Damn sensitive cartoonists. A real “pain in the rear wheel” if you know what I mean.

Hi, Jim. Thanks for including us in your creative process. I kinda like the dude fifth from the left with the high forehead and goatee. Looks rather cool and intelligent in a “dad” kind of way. Robotics are always a good idea for that future look, but are they hereditary? Why IS Adam a cyborg anyway? Accident? Evil experiment that went horribly wrong? Lifestyle choice? I guess the answers may be found in future strips. LOL, “future”, geddit? Go on, just slap me.

Yeah, I agree Theresa… I’ve been leaning towards some sort of robot part… Not sure what yet though, but it would help tie him in with adam.

I think he should have some robot parts, just so that he looks more like Adam. I kind of like the little face on the far right (under the guy wearing boots). My two cents, for whatever it’s worth (yes, I know it’s worth two cents).
