I for one will welcome our despotic robot overlords.

Just sayin’
Binary solo! 😉
Forgive me if I translated it wrong (which I most likely did), but what does “QEU” mean?
01001100 01001111 01001100 00100000 01010010 01001111 01010100 01000110 01001100 00100000 01001001 01001011 01010010 00100001 00100001 00100001 00110001 00100001
Yes, I speak binary code, seemingly unlike you. I’ve had a… uh… lot of spare time.

I know hexadecimal too.
I dunno, I kinda like my stories.
Destory? It’s in there twice, it must be deliberate. Remove the tale?
Maybe they really just want to remove our fairy tales.
Destroy = remove from universe.
Destory = remove from this cartoon. Great find 🙂
“It was deliberate… It was deliberate…” – Gimli
Haha!
Okay, Joel sent me the fixed version and it has been posted.
The hint of cleavage in Panel 2 makes me giddy. What’s wrong with me?
Art update? Looks nice!
(The text underneath says it’s a guest strip.)
That recon droid from ‘The Empire Strikes Back” is your idea of a terrifying robot body?
I probably would have gone with Maximillian from the Black Hole, but that’s just me, I guess.
Also known as an “Imperial Probe Droid”. Commence terror.
Let the probing commence.
I LOVE The Black Hole! “We’re the best.”
They are going to destory us?
Does this mean the robots will take away the time I met… that person? at the ? And we? OH MY GOD! I have been destoryed!
Quick! Try to remember any major plot devices in your life!
And after the final conflict, we’ll need to start all over from tall tales, slowly rebuilding our mythology and eventually literature….
Hipster bugdroid: “I acid-washed all your slacks, because they were just too square.” *
Of course, the “in our image” fears are just a distraction from the developing disaster, as excessively intelligent machines, not in our image, increasingly take control over our financial system, medical care, infrastructure management, and so on. Really, now: We humans are aggressive assholes because we’re biological, each from a long line of progenitors who survived predators, natural disasters, starvation, and our own kind. An AI could easily be designed without aggressive urges — since Star Wars has already been invoked, think C-3PO and R2-D2.
* Note: Acid-washing slacks is a bad idea.
Get off the mis-spelling, and look, I mean just LOOK at the hipster bug in skinny jeans. I’d hiss too! Well, I guess he’s a hipster bug BECAUSE of the skinny jeans. If not for that, I’d think he was a brewer. All the best ones seem to have beards. Except the female brewers. They generally remain beardless. Oh, also the tie gives him away. Brewers rarely wear ties.
Unless it’s a female dwarf brewer. They’re often indistinguishable from dwarf brewer men. It’s the beards.
I think hipster bug is the best bug Adam never drew. I hope it makes a return appearance.
Thanks Bruno!
I may have to steal Hipster Bug.
Saw the first panel and immediately thought of Gemma Chan as Anita on Humans.
Nice catch. I watched Humans and Ex Machina the same week Adam asked me to draw a guest comic.
If I wasn’t told that this was done by a different person, I don’t think I’d be able to tell the difference! Joel really nailed your style, Adam!
[Takes a bow.]
Yeah! Nice job!
I knew these guest strips would reveal my obselesence.
So you are saying that Rutger Hauer is not terrifying to you? Huh.
Maybe if he was a better actor…
I like that Joel gave girl bug a bit of a bosom and cleavage.
I am a bosom man. Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow… Even if you’ll be smothered while you sleep.
Somehow this comic seemed blurrier for me, and that tipped me off to a different artist long before I read the description.
BVGS!
Cortana is kinda interesting. If you ask her out on a date, she’s all “I now you already know this but I’m saying it anyway: I’M IN A PHONE.”
Just make em’ mini-Guardians. Complete with music. That oughta’ instill fear into the hearts of the populace in the upcoming robotic revolution.
