re hidden comic: it is interesting to note that in many sci-fi plots robots cannot express joy or attachment, yet are very able to feel the emotions of exclusion and bitterness. the main comic echoes this by again showing that the mechanical man is “man” enough to experience envy of experience. Anthropomorphism on a bizaree techno-futuristic level, this comic demonstrates the creative man’s inability to avoid humanizing its subject. ASP does this deliberately and efficiently (in three panels of story and one panel of gloss) by evoking the popular sci-fi convention of the emoting machine in the vein of HAL of 2001, the androids from Bladerunner, and the ship from Flight of the Navigator. bravo to you sirs
Oh my god, somebody shot his hat
LMFAO, just noticed that
Maybe it was the robot from the hidden comic …
no his eye/monocle went through it
That would be the exit wound from the massive electrical shock, much like an exit wound sustained from one being struck by lightning.
Did you just bring science to a comedy site?
Did you just add an accusatory reply to a science comment on a comedy site?

The hidden comic….OH NO!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
River Song!

this aroused my pleasure circuits is that counter indicated by program guidelines
you know what i agree
Same, I hope it is O.K.
Billy, what the HELL are you doing here
the robot in the hidden comic reminds me of one of those guys in the game Rayman (1995)
agreed. Rayman FTW
Back to the manufacturers for him i guess :/
This is what happens when apple goes to far. Thats the “ipod oil barron” edition.
i thought a robot billionaire would be able to spell “endangered”.. oh well.
alt text is a Sunsetriders reference? I loved that arcade.
My favorite arcade game. Anything where you have to run on top of a stampede to survive is fine by me.
Sunset Riders = pure awesomeness.
Aww. I thought it was trying to reflect on ‘The Most Dangerous Game’.

Glad to see you took a class, sir!
You are my best friend and I love you.
Dismantle me with my money. Awesome.
Zaroff is that you?
He isn’t playing the MOST dangerous game. Just a really exciting one.
The Sunset Riders quote is win.
Doesn’t alcohol fuel his circuits?
Futurama joke? If so, you sir, are Win.
This is the most beautifully illustrated strip of this comic …or, actually, from any comic, web or print, that I have yet seen. Bravo.
Also thank you for not applying the same level of detail and shading to the poop in the previous comic.
Is it just me or does the robot look like the hunter from Rayman? Specially in the hidden one…
..my slug is a greek dude!…
Hahahah xD This was awesome
So, he is a billionaire, but cant afford to be made waterproof? Also, he just throws the champagne on his face
