Android Blues is a 10-year comics passion-project by Stahlberg, a Swedish artist settled in Australia. So far, I find the art very interesting in that it ranges from rigid LC, to a looser style, all the way up to near photo-realistic work. (you sure don’t see that very often)

In terms of storytelling and concept, I thought those aspects pretty solid. Where I struggled was in accepting the dynamics of the various relationships, which mostly seemed like something from a lonely male otaku’s dream. Seriously, there’s a strong ‘salaryman manga’ vibe going on here, for better or ze wurst.

That said, I found the dialogue fairly witty, even if like Futurama, they seem a bit obsessed with talking about civilisation from long before. (if you know what I mean) Still, it’s meant to amuse us moderns, and I guess it does just that.

Speaking of Futurama-- Good news, everyone! You can read the entire, 450pp, finished comic below, courtesy of herr Stahlberg: https://androidblues.thecomicseries.com/comics/1/

Now traditionally, I’ve been extremely mindful of our host’s ‘no porn’ rule, but I feel like I kind of over-corrected for that, across time. Here then are some BD nudes I found tasteful and worth sharing:

I also want to point out that this SubLemmy (community) is open to all tasteful nudes, including male-nudes. In fact I’d rather not we go in the ‘nudes’ direction in general, but fairplay is fairplay.

Oh, daggit… links! Links! Links to the artist!

    Pretty good beginning, sans the near constant lack of clothes for the protagonist. Not erotic per se, just needless in my opinion.

    I felt almost exactly the same.

    At the same time, I’m a middle-aged dude. I’m not here to scold horny teens & twenty-somethings.

    EDIT EDIT: And yet… should I have posted this? I’m not sure. 😮💨

      Of course you should have, because the art is pretty good anyway. Stuff can have aspects that we like and others that we don´t like and it´s fine.
