Greetings Futurelads and lassies! Do we have some mail this week! Rachel from Wilmington writes,
“What’s with the Arthur link?” – Rachel
Rachel, that’s just a little inside joke on Thomas and Suzy’s parts! Here at The Bunker, to sum up the situation we’ve been saying: “how touching,” all week long! And guess what else, we heard from the queen herself, Seka! Referring to our Vega Pornbots, Seka writes,
“I thought this was very funny and is most likely to be in our very near future.” – Seka
The Futurists sure hope so! Be sure to check out Seka’s website. But be warned, it may not be work safe!

Salutations and thanks for reading! Here at Futurists HQ, which we fondly call the Bunker, we’re always cooking up ways for more Pornbots. Problem is we’re plum Bo Diddlely</a href> out of ideas! And how about that Bo Derrick? Is she a 10 or what!</a href> This is why we love getting mail! Be sure sure to keep your peepers peeled for next week’s comic when a grocery bag mishap befalls one of our beloved robots, and Thomas finally asks Suzy out! Way to go Tom-Cat!!!

Dan Deacon – 4.18.08, Old Club, Swarthmore College, PA
Dan Deacon’s Swarthmore show at Old Club was an occasion marked by flagrant disregard for societal rules. No one made me pay anything at the door and once I got inside there was more freeness in the form of beer (even if it was warm, who cares). When I had to piss I was instructed to go in the communal bush on the side of the building. Sure, I had to wait for the woman in front of me to finish popping her squat before I could go, but it is a minor complaint. The real irony is that if this had of been happening at the Sheraton Hotel, I would have been waiting for someone to stab me with a switchblade and mug me, but because it was happening at a college it was about as dangerous as romper-room.
And that’s pretty much how the show went. Totally safe, totally fun, like pure bliss. If there is a Heaven, it is gonna be Saturday Morning cartoons and Dan Deacon. Deacon was as much musician as he was a crazed electrician-maverick and one-man light show. Garbed in an ensemble that may only be described as pure color, Deacon set his gear in the center of the floor, proclaiming himself the antithesis of all that is and will ever be superstar DJ. Sure it is dance music, but it is punk-DIY-ethos at its finest.
If your child is going to have a birthday party, all I’m saying is hire this man to play it. If you do, I guarantee when Christmas rolls around, the kiddies won’t be hollering for Santa Claus, but rather for Deacon Claus.

I’ve added a new section to the site called Funny Pages. The section is for random comics. Currently these comics (like The Futurists) have been going to the Mindlab.
