Diesel Sweeties is an Life Embellished Web Comic written by R. Stevens. It can be found here. As of June 2023, it was updated on Mondays.

The comic would be a fairly typical story about urban twentysomethings engaging in witty banter and casual relationships, but also notes that several main characters are robots, who are perfectly able to have said relationships with humans. Notable cast members include:

Clango, a likeable but naive robot
Maura, alcoholic former porn star in (and out of) a long term relationship with him
Lil' Sis, caustic sister of Maura
Metal Steve, a Christian metalhead
Alle Vegetoksis, a neo-hippie and Steve's wife
Electron Mike, Apple fan with no social skills
Otakate, a blue-haired internet dweller
Indie Rock Pete, a Hipster with impressive misfortune
Red Robot, a machine with no respect for human life (except his girlfriend)

The comic is computer-drawn in a heavily pixelated style. Part of the Dumbrella syndicate, along with Bad Machinery and 'Overcompensating.

All of the above applies to the pre-rebot strip and may be out of date;^{[please verify]} there was a Continuity Reboot in 2016.

Tropes used in Diesel Sweeties include:

Continuity Reboot: Between strips 4000 and 4001.
Crush! Kill! Destroy!: Red Robot
Geeky Turn On: How connections are made.
Love Dodecahedron: It's pretty alarming. There's a diagram drawn here, but even that's out of date now.
Pixel Art Comic
The Merch: This is one of few self-sufficient webcomics out there.
Self-Parody: Strip 2513
