Since 2009 Cameron Callahan has written and drawn the indie comic series Scrambled Circuits, starring a well-intentioned robot named Primus who has robot brothers but lizard parents. As each day goes by Primus tries to connect with those around him - his step and blood family, his coworkers, his friends, interesting strangers - and with each attempt he gets a little closer to understanding others and finding some coherency in a crazy world. This book collects the first 3 Scrambled Circuits issues written and drawn by Cameron Callahan, a then very first time comic maker, while exiled in the Southern California desert. Along with those stories, Cameron writes along the margins of the book about the events that brought him to the desert and why he started making comics.
