Artist: Take It Back!
Release: Can’t Fight Robots
Label: Facedown
Designer: Dave Quiggle
Release Date: June 24, 2008
I’m starting to like Quiggle’s cartoonier stuff more than his portrayal of sobering topics. This one is almost a combination of both; it’s marginally violent but in a fun sort of way, if one can combine almost mutually exclusive concepts as “fun” and “violence” realistically. The notable thing about this one is that the robot seems to be the focus, not even the band name or album title. The dude is symbolic…of something. Note the ATM chest and the clock on the leg.

I for one welcome our robot overlords….and glowing green people to beat them with baseball bats.
