The Dup-o-Matic originally made perfect clones (and was later fixed so it could do so again), but at this point in time the wires were literally crossed, which causes it to make “opposite” doubles like Ralphie. Somehow this is subjective, because apparently the opposite of a mean-spirited, callous, self-important target is a friendly one who worries a lot about consequences.
Considering I’ve read DoA and all the fake guesses in the comments regarding Amazigirl’s identity, I would have just assumed this was more of the same had you not said anything.
Were you guys talking about hipsters because of Ralph’s hat? That was just the “disguise” that Ralph and Ralphie used to blend in to Earth Society during this run of the strip. Mayberry wears the hunter’s cap to cover his ears and antennae for the same reason.

Ooooh, so this is where it comes from!
Ralph:It makes ,,hippie” clones.
HA:..He’s good…
more like dumb-o-matic right ?
Dud-o-matic?

It also switches the handedness of thd clone, which will lead to a nickname…
No, the hand switching was because of something else, wasn’t it? Because I know it’s a thing that ended up affecting Walky and Linda eventually, too.
The martian ressuection machine switches that.
…Dude, they were trying to avoid spelling it out so that y’know, NEW READERS wouldn’t find out.

Having lived through the 60’s, please know, a ‘hippy’ is not a ‘hipster’.
no, but hippies don’t hold the same stigma–hipsters are the new hippies
*there should be a “these days” after stigma
