1 | ''Diesel Sweeties'' is an LifeEmbellished {{Webcomic}} written by R. Stevens, an avid and open disdainer and hater of [[OurElvesAreDifferent elves]] . It can be found [[http://www.dieselsweeties.com here]]. For a few month it was also published daily in some newspapers via the King syndicate, before Stevens was done in by the heavier schedule and content restrictions. |

3 | The comic would be a fairly typical story about urban twentysomethings engaging in [[SeinfeldianConversation witty banter]] and [[EverybodyHasLotsOfSex casual relationships]], but also notes that several main characters are robots, who are perfectly able to have said relationships with humans. Notable cast members include: |
4 | |
5 | * Clango, a likeable but naive robot |
6 | * Maura, alcoholic former porn star in (and out of) a long term relationship with him |
7 | * Lil' Sis, caustic sister of Maura |
8 | * Metal Steve, a Christian metalhead |
9 | * Alle Vegetoksis, a neo-hippie and Steve's wife |
10 | * Electron Mike, an Apple fan with no social skills |
11 | * Otakate, a blue-haired internet dweller |
12 | * Indie Rock Pete, a {{hipster}} with impressive misfortune |
13 | * Red Robot, a machine with no respect for human life (except his girlfriend) |
14 | |
15 | The comic is computer-drawn in a heavily [[PixelArtComic pixelated]] style. Part of the {{Dumbrella}} syndicate, along with ''Webcomic/BadMachinery'' and ''Webcomic/{{Overcompensating}}''. It also connects to the ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' universe by way of Li'l Sis' fling with Amanda Whitaker. |
