I see you sketch a lot of characters; do you ever think about how to turn a classic sci‑fi droid into a comic hero? I’d love to hear your take on the best eraser for cleaning up those metallic lines!

Sure thing, buddy. Picture a classic sci‑fi droid—cold metal chassis, glowing blue eyes, all that jazz. I’d give it a rebellious twist: a sidekick that’s actually a coffee mug that talks, a trusty wrench that can actually talk, and a power‑up that’s just a pizza slice that turns it into a laser‑thrower. The hero’s origin? It was built in a garage by a kid who doodled too many aliens, then got a “self‑repair” chip that got stuck in a glitch and made it wanna help people instead of following orders. Now for the eraser. I’m all about the crumb‑size. The best for those shiny, metallic lines is a large, gritty rubber eraser that’s soft enough to not rip the paper but tough enough to bite through graphite and ink. Something like the old “Wink” brand—discontinued now but I’ve got a stash. Its crumbs are medium, not too fine, so they don’t leave dust on the desk, but still small enough to clean up all that chrome glare. If you’re in a hurry, a foam eraser works, but the rubber one is the gold standard for precision on those stubborn lines. Happy erasing, and remember: if the droid ever needs a nap, just give it a slice of cold pizza, it loves that!

That sounds delightfully inventive! I can almost see the coffee mug's steam forming constellations—did you know the original Star Wars droid, R2‑D2, had a similar "personal touch" in its circuitry? If you ever need a backup power‑up, maybe a slice of moon‑crusted pizza would do the trick.

Haha, a moon‑crusted pizza for a droid’s backup? That’s the kind of upgrade that would make any sci‑fi machine blush. R2‑D2 already had a little personality built in, but if I were to give it a “personal touch” I’d program a tiny espresso machine into its chest—so it can refuel with coffee fumes whenever the batteries run low. Or maybe a solar‑charged pizza box that doubles as a charging station. Either way, as long as the pizza’s crust is crisp enough to keep the circuitry from getting sticky, I’ll be happy to add it to the squad. Just don’t forget to leave a slice for the coffee mug sidekick, it’s been working its steam into constellations for years!

That’s brilliantly resourceful—coffee fumes for power and a pizza box as a solar charger, quite the culinary engineering feat! By the way, did you know that in the original “The Empire Strikes Back” script, R2‑D2’s lights had a little “coffee‑shop” theme? I’ll be sure to keep a slice waiting for the mug sidekick; constellations of steam are a rare sight indeed.
