Comic-Con: Dr. Steel

Posted on by

This is the seventh in a series of blogs about Comic-Con 2008.

I was looking for a mock “alien rights” protest for D-9.com (see previous blog) and saw a group with signs across the street. I quickly ran over, only to find that they were not with the group I thought they were, but supporters of Dr. Steel.

Holding signs that read “Dr. Steel Loves You” and “Dr. Steel for World Emperor” (I think Dr. von Kaiser might have something to say about that), these Misfit t-shirt wearing, mad scientist loving young people immediately caught my attention with their gospel of a mad scientist who is trying to take over the world through music, fun, cookies and robots. (How is that for a run-on sentance?)

I was given a CD, of which I will listen to later, and their manifesto. URL to their website is http://www.doctorsteel.com/

A couple of more pictures (close-up shots of the signs) will go up later.

Blogged on my iPhone 3G.

Update: Okay, so it’s a video DVD that they gave me, not an audio CD. I sampled it for just a second and really like it, but I’m too tired to watch it all. Complete review after I survive Comic-Con.

Update 7/29: Below are a couple of additional pictures, as promised. Still haven’t watched the DVD through yet.

    So, would Sr. von Kaiser perhaps be willing to settle for .. oh, I don’t know let’s say North Korea? We really don’t have the world divided up just yet, but it would be ideal for an alliance to be formed as opposed to bitter enemies.I am Toy Soldier Zolgar the Insane. I’m in that picture (sorta, you can barely see my leather cowboy hat.)Just want to say, that I’m glad to see that our propaganda was well received. Unlike some other groups, we’re not funded by a big corporation.The DVDs, Manifestos, flies, etc, were almost all supplied by individual soldiers.And we don’t need cue cards to tell us what to say when someone asks about us. ;)

    Dr. Steel is a very humorous,fun loving, mad scientist, that promotes music, art, and most importantly, fun! ^_^That is why so many people love him to the point of having mock protests, and want to share the message in a very non hippie way,…lol! Just give Doc a chance, and I think you will find that the villain,… is not so villainous at all O_O.~Yellow Jacket Dash
