Der Glockenspiel’s ten-foot robot lieutenant, assembled from Black Forest clocks with a clock-face head and a cuckoo door in its forehead. It fights with sharpened clock-hands and inserts “(tick)…(tock)” into every line - until Arnie beheads it and a cuckoo springs out (#15).
Clockwork lieutenant
Clockface
Der Glockenspiel’s mechanical assistant turns clockwork into both a weapon and a way of speaking.
This biography includes story developments and endings
Clockface appears in comic 15 as a large robot built from clock components. A dial, hands and a cuckoo mechanism shape his appearance and behaviour. His dialogue repeats tick and tock, while pointed clock hands become weapons.
During the assault on the base he fights Arnie. Arnie exploits a failed attack and severs the robot’s head, producing a final cuckoo-clock joke. The encounter demonstrates the new ally’s ability to face real danger even before gaining superspeed.
