    Robots seems to be a recurring theme in the comic…which is just fine, as robots make for an interesting subject manner.

    Someone’s always gotta take out the garbage - it won’t take itself out.

    …Unless it’s robotic garbage, which takes us back to the beginning.

  3. Speaker

    Oh, come now.
    The garbage robot loves his job, and has clearly just realized that the garbage can is his long-lost brother Octavio.
    …right?

    Pure genius. I love the sense of futility in this one.

    Revolutions: never quite what they’re cracked up to be.

    i have a major problem with this one. primarily, you understand the situation, and it is funny. however, perhaps it is overdone, or even that the last frame could be improved. it’s hard to say for sure… maybe the expression in the last frame could be better? in any case, i find it slightly lacking, just ever so little.

    Poor garbage robot. Lowly before the revolution and not rising any higher post-revolution….
    Reeks of Communist Russia, doesn’t it?

    I believe this is mentioned in a passage of 1984. The basic idea of revolution is that the Middle exploit the Low in order to switch places with the High, only to push the Low back down afterward.

    All robots are equal, but some robots are more equal than others?

  10. Brian

    Would not the robots make biological slaves?

  11. Sarah

    Robot Farm?

  12. Sarah

    (The other) Sarah is right - it IS very Orwell-esque. You win the prize for subtelty… subtlety? Crap, I can’t spell.
