Line #32 Webcomic/DieselSweeties


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.
