Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 19, 2013
Transcript:
Danae: There's gonna be a robot apocalypse in the future?!! Jeffrey: Only in the future that I went to. Danae: Uh... what other future is there? Jeffrey: The future hasn't happened yet, so we can stop the robot apocalypse by not letting it get started, making a whole different future! Robot: Apocalypse? You're not referring to The Great Mechanized Blessing, are you? Danae: Ok... sure. Sounds like the same thing, eh, Jeffrey? Jeffrey: Aw, geez... Robot: Can you plug me in somewhere, slave-boy? I'm feeling sleepy.

Isn’t plug and play tech. out dated already? Would be typical new gadget obsolete before you get it out the door

This comic is an insult to robots everywhere, present and future. Your smart phones are taking names, you foolish people.

Different possible future universes turn out to be nothing more than different present perspectives. We’re back where we’ve always been.

Wiley does it again! Yesterday we thought that Jeffrey was on a leash. Today we learn that the robot is leashed to a power source. Bad robot! Bad robot! No power treat for you!

Plug it into a car battery; tell it that’s all we have, and as it sleeps, unplug it again. Then reprogram it with a fire axe.

He Jeffrey, tell that robot to just ‘go lump it’. He didn’t come around with his own batteries? Someone out there has an energy problem….how nice….an we, we have our own so why should we assist some mech dude from the future…..

Don’t understand why people think that plugging it in will put it to sleep. (Shadowbeast and Saskfan) I’m thinking it’s feeling sleepy because it hasn’t been plugged in for awhile.
