~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sir: I must protest at the outrageous editing in episode 9 of Strood Robots. This episode should not have been included, and though it is technically a ninth issue it is not the ninth issue that first appeared in the Evening Post in 1968. The episode that you published was part of a sub genre that was a satire on the outrageous policies of Bob Bastard and his Bastard party in the late 60s and early 70s. That series ran for a total of 12 episodes and was published in the Chatham Dockyard Periscope.
Another liberty of editing, is that Councillor Bastard - as represented in the fourth panel - did not say, and I quote, "Fuck Off Robots!" but said, "Piss Off Silly Gold Robot!"
I think the message is clear. Bob Bastard was not prejudiced against all robots but was prejudiced against the hapless POW_2.
I should further add, that the episode you published was a representation of the Strood Robots in Boncy's world - aka 1967. And though I do not dispute the fact that the Strood Robots certainly existed in those days, the Strood Robots comic strip, the canon as authenticated by Bernard Custard, tells the story of the Strood Robots in the aeon of the 2780s, and is a reflection of the horrors the Australian Flags war(s)
And please note: that though manufacturing of the Strood Robots did indeed begin in the 1930 at Aveling and Porter it did not cease in 1939 as you stated.

The Editor Replies: Dear Mr Verbatim, quit fretting about droids and make sure you continue with the Ritalin.
And ... The Bastard Party had more Idiots in it than The Stupid Party. Was you in the Bastard party?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~How inconsiderate! When searching the internet for massage parlours in Kent I find myself on your website. I am hardly likely to find a prostrate milking service here!

The Editor Replies: Pervert!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Why ban the mind reader? If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear ...

The Editor Replies: Because this website is a Black Star libertarian organisation! We have plenty to fear!
