Popbot

I figured out what the problem is with my writing... I don't do drugs. I've been trying to figure out why some people get published and others don't, and then I sat down and read Popbot from Sam Kieth and Ashley Woods. The story is about "Kitty" a cat that was the lead singer of a punk rock band, 2215 Funlicker, that has now disappeared and a lot of people want to kill Kitty. He is protected by Popbot, a robot that used to be a roadie for the band. The rest of the book involves a lobotimized Sherlock Holmes, clones of Andy Warhol, samuri robots, samuri/Elvis robots, fembots, feministbots and a sucubus hiding in an old house. This is a trip of a series.

After reading this I started looking at the stuff I write... I have no cats having sex with underaged groupies. I have no time traveling Sherlock Holmes who discovered that he and Moriarty are one in the same. I have normal things, because that's how my brain works. I like the book, I like the story so far and I definitely like the art. But how does Kieth get to that point in his mind that he can put all these really odd elements out there. If you can find this book, buy it.
