Monica easily won me over today. She usually does.
Immediately after I answered the phone she launched into a speech about how Sam Brown and rstevens (the creative geniuses of exploding dog and diesel sweeties) had decided to hold a Red Robot Pumpkin Carving Contest for Halloween this year.
“I’m off this weekend, so I can swing by anytime and we can let the nerdiness ensue.”
And oh did the nerdiness ensue. We started at the grocery store to secure some dark ale and two huge round pumpkins. Then after about an hour or so of searching the webcomics for just the right Red Robot to hack into our orange vegetables, we each grabbed a giant bowl and a giant knife and slashed away like mad. Red Robot would be proud.
Monica finished her Sam Brown rendition of the forlorn robot first:
And not too long after I finished creating the pixelated angry rstevens version:
We then commenced with the pumpkin seed baking and took crazy fun pictures of the lit up robots to submit to Sam the next day. All in all it was a pretty awesome night of apropo Red Robot gore.
Cheers to webcomic nerds everywhere!
