Gangs of New New York

The old Irish thug took the young kid aside. "What ever ye do, boyo, don't mention the Dead Robot Gang again in Bill's presence. Those savages are the toughest bunch of miscreants in the galaxy. Even Bill the Butcher just lets 'em walk on past."

I read recently that the creators of Futurama wished that they could have done a parody of "Gangs of New York" before the show was cancelled; heck, I had a pencil sketch of the same idea sitting in my desk for nearly two years, and had forgotten about it. I wasn't able to find the sketch, but I was able to re-construct it from memory. I enjoyed adding some entrails in the picture - Leela the Savage Mutant managed to slice the head off both an Omicronian and a Borg. And look down at the left - I added Ponda Boba's arm from Star Wars just for Marloc and the Madhouse gang. Yes, he has a name, Marloc - but he now is minus an arm. And jeepers - they even killed a Windy Shrimp!
