    haha, is this a reference to Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut?

    if it is, i like it!

  2. Muefigilo

    It’s a lot more than a reference. The text is taken directly out of his introduction in… I think Slaughterhouse Five?

  3. Kevin

    The text is paraphrased from one of the (fictional) Kilgore Trout short stories referenced in Slaughterhouse Five. I made this strip as a tribute shortly after Kurt Vonnegut died.

    So it goes.

    He’s in Heaven now.

    Just one question. How did a robot get halitosis?

  7. George

    Wow, nice comic, and a reference to a really good book.

  8. Luke

    I’ve always imagined the robot from that story looking strikingly similar to yours. I love that book so much; I have “Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt” tattooed on my right forearm.

    Kurt Vonnegut had terrible halitosis

    It’s kind of ironic that in many of your strips you depict an emotional, empathic robot that is rejected by humans despite only being kind to them but in this one there is a robot incapable of empathy who has done terrible things but is readily accepted by people.
