Atoll_8Welp folks, it starts. Let me know if you have any questions. The little Aeromorph girl btw, is Moon. I decided that showing her happy family with the contrasting bigoted humans in non man-machine alliance countries would be the best for setting the tone of the story. As for the title, Protestors generally say crazy shit all the time, cerebral informed me that that is potentially one of the funnier things I could have had them say.

Also: Black boarders in comics are synonymous for things that actually happened in the past, like flashbacks. So I’ll use black boarders if there is a time shift.

Moon as a baby is mostly head. I did that because her mother was a plane whos prop engine is in the nose. This means that by whatever magical science leads her to have her engine (heart) in her head, and brain (in her chest) she would allays be top heavy until the rest of her body could grow out.

** So the way I currently have it set up, Dire machines don’t have last names (because they weren’t born from human parents) therefore, they tend to give themselves very bland or un imaginative names. This causes a problem when you live in a state or a country that has 5 guys or gals that all go by the same first name as “Cessna” or “Abrahms” so for the sake of ease, Dire machines give themselves a first name, and their last name reflects the city/county/country/state/province/town or isle they are from. In this instance, the f-86 sabre is named “Dempsey of Chino” because he awoke from the Planes of Fame museum in Chino California. Dempsey is also an older kind of name that was more common in the 1940’s-60’s so it fits him fairly well. The f-86 saw most of its combat in the Korean war in the 50’s so it fits.

The toothpick pays homage to to Peter Falk of the detective show “Columbo” who was always chewing on a cigar while he was forming his thoughts.

Hey I know I’m a bit late to the party but I’ve been following Rat’s stuff for the past year and I always loved it. I’m so glad this exists and I cant wait for more.

Hey, sorry, not dead. I’ve just been sick, and looking at a screen hurt my brain. I’m feeling better now though. I’m still not entirely sure why the mig pic got me over here, mostly curiosity I guess. Most people would probably look away and close the tab, but then again most people probably wouldn’t wonder about airplane porn in the first place. It’s good to be weird. And yeah, the thought of a human and a machine in a relationship gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Also, I like the idea of a Russian jet having a Russian accent. I think I might be a Russia weeaboo, I noticed I have the urge to get Rosetta stone and learn Russian. Aside from the history of… unfortunate leadership, it doesn’t seem like that bad of a country.

Ha! No problem, they’re plentiful, varied, and there are pictures of ’em everywhere. It’s the best part and the worst part about this shit, can’t really get busted by anyone for porn on hand and there’s no lack of it, just go to a road and boom cars to fantasize fucking right there. Then it’s also embarrassing when you stare at the car ahead of you at the light for a tab bit too long and then you’ve got a boner in your lap. Unless you’re a gal then it’s easy to hide it, I guess.

Yay, more Russian machines! That got me thinking, would the International Space Station be half American and half Russian? Would it even be a single being, or would all the different modules be individuals themselves? Maybe it would be entirely Russian as the Zarya was the first module? I suppose it would all depend on when it was “awoken”. I prefer the idea one large dire station, because a bunch if dire modules hooked together makes me think of human centipede. Oh, and I guess I’m into tanks now too. (thanks Gingyflame)

Don’t worry, my childhood’s perfectly fine. My favorite plane is the F-22 Raptor, and I love your pics of “Ingo”. As for how i ended up here, well, I’m not a furry (but I don’t judge), and I try to stay away from 4chan. I’m not in the military, though I might enlist someday if just to get my pilot certificate and fly jets around California. I live near the Fresno air national guard base, and sometimes I’ll just stare into the sky and smile like an idiot at whatever happens to be cruising overhead. One day, as I was watching a couple F-15s on a low pass right over my house, I thought to myself, “is airplane porn a thing?”. After a bit of searching, I was actually disappointed to find mostly pictures of strange humanoids with nose cone faces, huge tits, and afterburner assholes. Then i stumbled across your mig pic, a mona lisa in comparison, and I was smitten. Imagine my delight when I followed the link here! I will admit I have a bit of a thing for russian accents, so that might have helped. Now I can’t plane-watch without dirty thoughts popping into my head, and I’ll certainly never look at my car the same way again, lol. Not that those are bad things. One more thing, I’m assuming you named yourself after the transformer called ratbat, maybe for his ability to change into a… wait, is he a cassette tape?! I’m not a huge fan of the franchise, so forgive me if I’m missing something.

So, I just stumbled upon the fantastically weird world of… whatever this is, and I couldn’t be happier! I have always loved airplanes, but not like this. Then I saw your drawing a MiG-21 going to town on some lucky girl, and well, here I am. I think it’s awesome that you made a backstory for your porn, with the whole space machine code thing, and the Atoll Lab comic (graphic novel?) is amazing so far. Anyway, thanks for all the wonderful art and for creating this strangely alluring corner of the internet. Keep working on Atoll Lab, it’s really good!

Well Moon’s mom is a seaplane and you picked a good angle for displaying her, not only that but I have a great mental picture of what her whole airframe looks like, wings, ailerons, flaps, sponsons, tail, hell even her doors and windows with their seams and panel joints. I can do that with almost everything mechanical I see. I’d say it’s a good trait I have. It can also be very naughty too~
Ha! Dempsey. I feel like he’s got the exact same voice as Dempsey from CoD Black Ops Zombies and maybe even his personality. That’s be a good personality for a Sabre… “Boo! More shit ta kill with!”

It’s been a while since I’ve talked. I’ll be flat out Moon’s mom is hot, I mean I never thought I’d ever mean fully use this but she’s a milf. She is bangable, very bangable. And the genders for vehicles are a little ambiguous so I’m not sure if that Sabre that’s turning me on is a girl… or a guy…
I love the subtle humor you put in there, the truck, if I’ll fit, a few more I find humorous like the stereotypical hillbilly talk, dress, and slang. It’s funny because I live with em. Still, I love my family, the fricken lot of us.

the poor truck looks so worried. “Tail, tail!” :p Must be hard to maneuver in the streets sometimes as a dire give how large most of them are, even just normal cars and such

Damn, looks amazing so for and i cant wait to see more of it!
Friggin pig(?) -or are they pony tails?- on a little adorable baby plane, i was confused on what they where until i saw the adult picture then they made more sense.

so i am guessing that space dire machines are a thing in this universe or not quite yet? -curious to know being as a story i have planned may or may not have something to do with them…..-

Fuck those people because Moon is adorable! I love this start off clip, looks like it’s going to be great. I’ve got a similar scene in my upcoming post (three days) but won’t be entirely like this; the child won’t be around yet. I look forward to the next posts and await this Tuesday so I can post this!

Lol adult Moon’s BF isn’t too sure of doing that. Or he’s staring at her tits.

Looks like it’s off to a very good start.

I’ve always been impressed by your comic work.

Also “you wouldn’t let a robot watch your children”… Of course not, robots are too expensive to repair when children inevitably break them.
