Hi! Welcome to the launch of Registered Weapon, the internet’s premiere police-themed funny robot webcomic. We’ve been working on this for a while, so we’re very excited to throw our baby out into the world to see if it can fly, or at least walk, or at least not get eaten by a shark. We do hope you enjoy it.

We’re kicking things off with a full work week of strips that introduce Frank and FELIX and their world–a new one every day, Monday through Friday. Starting next week, we’ll go to our normal schedule of twice-weekly updates on Tuesday and Friday. To make sure you don’t miss an episode, you can subscribe to the RSS feed and have the magic come to you. To stay abreast of all the latest developments, you can also join the Facebook group or become a deputy in Frank Gorman’s Crime Squad (see below and to the right for the sign-up form).

If you enjoy the comic, there are a few things you can do to help us spread the word (and which will earn you our eternal gratitude). On the About page there’s an animated button that you can download or hotlink and place on your own blog or website with a link to http://registered-weapon.com. Or you can click one of the many “SPEAK UP!” buttons (such as the one directly below) to share a comic or post via your favorite social networking, bookmarking or email service.

That’s about it. Enjoy the first installment, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow for the introduction of FELIX. Until then, keep an eye out for crime, and if you see anything suspicious, drop us a line at registeredweaponATgmailDOTcom.

Thanks,

Gardner, Chris & Dave

If you just can’t wait till tomorrow for more comics goodness, and you’re a big ol’ nerd for the Lost like I am, go check out today’s Adventure of Lil’ Gardner & Robot Jesus, which is all about my favorite show.

Anybody catch 30 Rock last week? They straight up stole one of our jokes:

Though I guess we did kind of steal it from ALF in the first place. Oh, 30 Rock. I just can’t stay mad at you.

In other TV news, today’s Adventure of Lil’ Gardner & Robot Jesus is all about 24.

Massive thanks to Kevin Church for recommending this here comic on his excellent blog Beaucoup Kevin. You should definitely go check out the two webcomics he writes: the hilarious comic-shop comedy The Rack and the flat-out beautiful Waimea. Go now! We’ll still be here when you get back.

Check it out, it’s the awesome new Robocop homage poster Dave made:

This is the first in a series of similar things, so be on the lookout for more in the near future. In the meantime, we wouldn’t be mad at all if you printed out the hi-res version and posted it in a public place. In fact, if you were to provide photographic proof of such a feat to registeredweaponATgmailDOTcom, you might even receive an awesome prize.
