Description
Some bands are made of people. Some are made of robots. And one, just one, was made out of bioengineered cheese monsters.The story of Brieth Easy (pronounced Breathe Easy–there’s a pun in there somewhere) is a short and tragic one. The band was created in 2008 after Winslow finished growing a special cheese-and-human-DNA mixture in his bioengineering vat, resulting in three roughly man-shaped cheese monsters. He taught them to play instruments, and within six month their self-titled album had gone platinum, with their single, “Love Un-feta’d,” topping the charts for seventeen weeks straight. Their story soured soon after. To fill the holes in the human genetic code, Winslow had used the DNA of a man-eating Indian tiger. Brieth Easy did, in fact, go on a killing spree. Over 30 children were devoured.
The band in this comic is Steam Powered Giraffe–Hatchworth, The Spine, and Rabbit. If you’re not familiar with them, I suggest you check them out. They aren’t actually robots, but they pretend to be on stage, and that’s why they’re awesome. Of course, in this comic, they’re actually robots, because that’s how I roll.

I wonder, every other day, why Winslow isn't in prison. Children? Really?

He didn't do it. The cheese monsters did. They were captured and euthanized.

Hoffner bass was a very nice touch! And I'm sure the robo band sucks in comparison, I mean, the other crowd got music AND a show.

The robots, I assure you, are quite the showmen. They just don't kill people.

Top marks for 'Brieth Easy'. Everything else here is a bonus.

omfg you like Steam Powered Giraffe that's awesome, two seemingly completely unrelated enjoyments of mine, your comics and the bots, all rolled into one. I had nothing to do with this and yet somehow I still feel accomplished. It's like a circle of fandom I swear

I love that the "robot" band is actually based on a real group.
Heh, cheese monsters eating children--that's tragic and funny.

Eating 30 children just proves how metal they are!
...Assuming they were a metal band.

Its a gouda thing those cheese munsters were stopped.
I know for a fact the parents of the devoured children were feta up with
those goings on.
Maybe a cave canembert sign would have worked out?
I will stop with these puns, am making an asiago of myself.
Cheesy list
