I like having guest-stars in this comic. R2-D2 is one I haven’t used until now (although C-3PO did appear along with Tom Servo, Vincent from the Black Hole, and 46 from Legostar Galactica in an early storyline). I like how it doesn’t occur to Shellshock until the end that the droid isn’t really supposed to be there. Robot Slick’s line about mindless philosophers is a quote from C-3PO at the beginning of Star Wars.
And I always figured R2-D2 was a smug little (albeit extremely well-put-together) little droid.
