Description
Japanese Tentacle Robot is actually the 57th in a batch of 200 similar robots designed by the Fujiyama Autonomous Robotic Tentacle Company, which isn’t located in Japan at all, but in beautiful Vancouver, Canada. Unfortunately, due to an unforeseen computational error, all 200 of the “Tentacular Pleasure Centers” (which is what the robot was called before being marketed to the public as the “Happy Tentacle Friend”) were installed with prototype robotic brain matrices that never should have been put into production. 197 of the models were destroyed. The remaining three escaped into the real world. Number 33 began calling itself Octotenactus and began living the life of a costumed supervillain off the North Carolina coast; Number 90 disappeared into the shady underground world of Central American octopus boxing; and Number 57, pictured here, took on the moniker “Japanese Tentacle Robot” and tried to live as normal a life possible, only occasionally terrorizing beach goers and causing a ruckus that one time in Bourbon Street during the 2007 Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans.This comic started as an exercise in facial expressions, but I liked it so much I finished it up for all of you to enjoy. Aren’t you lucky?

I'm loving the facial expressions you're whipping up at the moment. Hilarious.
Also, I'm sure there's a market out there for Goblin Porn. If people will read 50 Shades, I figure they'll read anything...

It's a niche market, but probably profitable.

You know, I'm not sure he's defective. I can see Winslow telling it to draw Goblin porn then forgetting.

Could have happened. He's not getting rid of the drawings, though, that's for sure.

He does a bit, though I was going more for tiny tyrannosaurus arms.

Seeing this and knowing you have a son about the same age as mine it makes me realize that my husband isn't the only with random thoughts that spill out everywhere. Lol you're wife must really love and understand you, or has accepted that you're crazy like I did with my husband

All you can really do is step back and realize there's only so much you can do.

Well, goblin pron AND chainmail lingerie seem to both be recipes for webcomic success.

Think that bot has an account on FC.
Its Sarah Palin vs The Tentaclecrats was a hit but for the wrong crowd.
FC almost banned the bot until it took down the series.
Looks great.

When I see the words "Japanese" and "tentacle" in the same sentence, all I can think of is that, in Japan, everything will $#@! you.
