[3][4][5] Material from Diesel Sweeties appears in Ted Rall's Attitude 3: The New Subversive Online Cartoonists, along with other webcomics such as Cat and Girl, Dinosaur Comics, Boy on a Stick and Slither, Fetus-X, and The Perry Bible Fellowship.

On 26 June 2008, Stevens announced that the print run of Diesel Sweeties would end on 10 August of that year.

Stevens cited exhaustion from doing a dozen strips per week, as well as the fact that the majority of his income remained tied to the website.

In 2005 Stevens abandoned this traditional form and began consistently publishing strips with more panels in slightly more varied configurations.

The comic depicts a world where robots exist alongside humans, with human-robot romantic and sexual relationships commonplace.
