Following up on their panel last night at WonderCon, the folks at BOOM! sent me a four-page preview of Shmobots, their slacker-robot comedy. Here’s how they describe the book on their website:

SMALL SOLDIERS and MOUSEHUNT screenwriter and DETROIT ROCK CITY director, Adam Rifkin, pairs with pin-up artist supreme Les Toil to create Shmobots! In an world where man needs robots to do menial labor, a city decides to contract with the lowest bidder in order to create its army workforce. But the whole thing backfires and the robots end up being lazy and stupid — with attitude. So what do you call these slacker robots? They’re a bunch of Shmobots! A darkly funny tale of passion, romance, and sexy-time! Once you go chrome, you never go home!

And what do slacker robots do? Watch The Kitten Channel, of course … check it out after the jump:
