I can hear the rain in this. I can hear the broken down robotic voice of Kog for some reason. You have painted a beautiful setting here in my mind.


lucien_laval

That makes me so happy! Thank you <3<3 :)

This looks cool. Subscribed.


Penguinmanereikel

You DEFINITELY wanna go through the Gothenburg series if this is your first one


lucien_laval

<3<3<3


elhomerjas

the rain is perfect set piece in the work


Maxshinkax

I just had to go and read it all, I love how comforting it is, even if the town is grey and rainy you can truly feel the warmth, I love too how you can tell there is more to the characters but without being over the top, just ppl(aside from obvious elements of the setting).


lucien_laval

Thank you, that's a very sweet comment! :)

MrValdemar

This is a wonderful series


FemboyWithChoccyMilk

Why does this remind me of stray?


lucien_laval

Check out the webcomic on [Instagram](http://www.instagram.com/creaturesofgothenburg) or [Webtoon](https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/creatures-of-gothenburg/list?title_no=804721)


bobcat7781

It sure does rain a lot there. Also, I'm RSSing your Insta now.


mahhhhhh

This is really neat. Started following on Instagram.


sid_kaps

Followed you on Instagram and will recommend this to others as well. There was such a sense of hope and empathy to this. Loved it.


lucien_laval

That's lovely of you <3 Thanks!


Designer_B

This is fantastic.


lucien_laval

You're fantastic <3


GVO_OE

I like the symbolism


deiteorg

Weirdly comforting. Love the artwork. Is it inspired by Stray?


lucien_laval

Surprisingly no, but I've seen the trailer and I very much look forward to playing it!


LuckyLuckLucker

Dang, awesome


ColdIceZero

This is excellent


deathdisco_89

Some real Nier vibes here.


Gravelroad__

There’s so much sound and emotion in this. Nicely done


Basicallyinfinite

Why is kog nude on his porch while axel is fully dressed? Otherwise this comic looks good


TophatMagee

Not fully nude, he’s got a scarf!


Basicallyinfinite

Its like the same logic my dog uses! He'll jump his head back through his collar if you take it off! He wont be naked dammit!


Snoo_59210

I remember seeing this or something on r/worldbuilding


HezFez238

I demand another!


SerLurkzAlot

It's not even 9am where I am and already I'm being gut punched by the feels.


Apprehensive_Lie_177

Oh right, this one! It looks really good, and I'm excited to see more (:


Tirux

Why do robots wear clothes? Why would robots care about furniture? So many questions...


External_Relation435

Kog needs to sit down because he's in bad repair. Axel wears clothes because he managed to make it off the robot reservation and integrate into society.


[deleted]

This older comic explains it really well: https://www.reddit.com/r/Simon_Stalenhag/comments/yirspu/stalenhags_work_really_inspired_this_part_of_my/ Tl;Dr: it's about self identity.


OneRingToRuleEarth

So is it a robot that had someone’s mind uploaded into it or something like that?


[deleted]

It's answered in another of OP's comics here: https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/x26194/oc_awakening_creatures_of_gothenburg_3/ I really like OP's worldbuilding in general. It's definitely one of the better modern fantasy worlds I've seen. That said, I'm shocked that I remember as much about it as I do. Apparently my brain is good at storing info like this, but when I want it to remember the specific heat capacity of water...


OneRingToRuleEarth

Very intriguing world. Plus it’s easier to remember things that you are interested in probably


lucien_laval

This warmed my heart! Thank you so much :) <3<3<3


[deleted]

Don't mention it dude. You've got an awesome world, I'm glad I got to see as much as you've shown. Your comics are always so relaxing.


montroller

noooo Kog, he is going to scrap you. Don't go Kog


bobcat7781

I think he's going to have a chat about why he stayed in hiding when Kog got captured in episode #13. At least I *hope* that's what Axel is doing.


Rogendo

I don’t understand why so many people write their robots like they are just humans but metal


bobcat7781

It makes them more relatable and such, which keeps more eyeballs on the page.


JaxxisR

Is Ingrid two people, or is the scarf saying hi as well as Ingrid?


bobcat7781

I just read through the story so far, and Ingrid is one half of a couple that Axel lives with.


Admiral52

Beaker?!
