Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) and Sam (a spherical robot with a mechanical grin) stand in front of a giant water tank conversing. Nearby is Arf (a shaggy mop of a dog) who is doing dog things. Bob: Pets are weird… As a concept… Panel 2: Arf is now paying attention to Bob, his dog things forgotten. Bob: You take an animal and put it into your home. And the animal just decides, “yes, this is what we’re doing.” Panel 3: The panel shifts over to show more of the water tank where crocodiles are swimming around doing crocodile things. Sam: Is that how the crocodiles happened?

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) and Sam (a spherical robot with a mechanical grin) are standing in conversation. Arf (a shaggy mop of a dog) is walking in from off panel. Bob: The humans are in constant danger. Sam: Uh huh. Panel 2: Arf walks in between them, paying neither any mind. Sam is looking down at the dog. Bob: And General Alpha won’t stop hurting the humans without intervention. Sam: Right. Panel 3: Arf is walking off panel in the opposite direction from which he entered. Sam has swiveled his head around to watch him. Bob: And we are the only ones who can stop him. Sam: Got it. Panel 4: Sam looks back to Bob, the distraction no longer there. He raises his arm as if in school Sam: Why can’t anyone tell me when playtime is?

Panel 1: Sam (a spherical robot with a mechanical grin) watches as Dr. Smith (a stick figure holding a clipboard) points to a display on the wall. Nearby, Arf (a shaggy mop of a dog) watches them with interest. The display shows weapons and enemies. Dr. Smith: The Bob is proficient with Gun, which is also the primary weapon of the enemy. Panel 2: The display changes to show a different weapon and a jet fighter. Dr. Smith is handing a blocky firearm to Sam. Arf is dragging a comfortable Arf-sized cushion from off screen. Dr. Smith: But we built you to use this crossbow. It enhances the energy bullets from Gun and transforms— Panel 3: Sam is now holding the crossbow and raising his arm as if in school. Arf is now sleeping on the cushion. Sam: But when do we get to play?

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) and Sam (a spherical robot with a mechanical grin) are in a laboratory. Arf (a shaggy mop of a dog) stands nearby and Dr. Smith (a stick figure holding a clipboard) is in the background working. Bob: This is Arf. He is a good dog. And over there with the clipboard is Dr. Smith. Panel 2: Looking in the other direction, we see Fred and Freida (Also stick figures). One is at a table that houses a mysterious red gem and a weapon of some sorts. The other is working with a tall device covered in mechanical doodads. Bob: And we have Fred at the table and Freida at the telemetry machine. Panel 3: Sam looks back to Bob. Table Human: I’m Freida. Telemetry Human: I’m Fred. Bob: Okay, humans are hard.

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) and Sam (a spherical robot with a mechanical grin) are standing in conversation.

Bob: I’m Bob. I was built before you. Sam: Ahhhh! Evil Robot! Panel 3: Sam has calmed as Bob gives his explanation. Bob: No, Sam. We are on the same side. I am your predecessor. Sam: … Panel 4: Sam tosses his arms up again, much to Bob’s chagrin. Sam: Brother!

Panel 1: Fred and Freida (A pair of stick figures) stand before a sphere on the ground that bears the triangular insignia of Smith’s Robotics. Fred is leaning in close.

Panel 2: Freida is waving to Fred with a bag of chips in her other hand. Fred is now shown thinking about the mechanical stomach. Fred: In fact… Freida: We have some snacks for you. Panel 3: Freida is shaking the bag of chips at the sphere, which has sprouted a head. But it has done so from the bottom of the robot. The two humans jump in surprise.

Panel 1: Dr. Smith (a stick figure holding a clipboard) stands before a sphere that bares the triangular insignia of his company. His arms are spread wide. The sphere rests upon a ramped pedestal. Dr. Smith: Finally! My life’s work is complete! The Spherical Autonomous Machine is ready. And just in time. Panel 2: Dr. Smith turns away with a puzzled expression. Unbeknownst to him, the sphere has begun to roll down the ramp towards him. Dr. Smith: Now where did I put that punchline? Panel 3: The sphere has rolled all the way off the pedestal, and has crashed into Dr. Smith and through the wall of the comic itself. The final panel wall is shattered and Smith’s legs can be seen still flying through the air and out of the comic.

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) and Arf (a shaggy mop of a dog) stand before a door labeled Smith’s Robotics that has the same triangular insignia that appears on Bob’s chest. Bob’s right arm is broken and elongated, dangling at his side, and he is scritching Arf’s head with his good hand. Panel 2: Fred (a stick figure) stands behind a desk and exclaims with surprise. Bob shrinks down in exhaustion and apprehension. Fred: Bob! You’re back! Panel 3: Closeup of Bob who has mustered himself enough to stand up straight, his finger raised into the air. Bob: I got your Pozi-whatzit! Panel 4: Bob collapses to the ground with a thud! Everyone reacts with surprise and worry. Fred rushes from behind the desk and Freida (another stick figure) runs in from off panel.

Panel 1: Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) and Arf (a shaggy mop of a dog) are pulling a large cart filled to the brim with steel wire. Bob’s right arm is broken and elongated, dangling at his side. A building labeled “Orphans” can be seen in the far distance. Bob: Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to have another robot around. Heroism is Quite lonely. Panel 2: Bob and Arf are pulling past the orphan building. Stick figure orphans can be seen running out of the building. Bob: You and the humans are great! But I still feel underappreciated sometimes. Panel 3: Several children have caught up to Bob and are pushing the cart. Two more have grabbed the leads and are helping to pull. Even more are still running down from the orphan building to help. Bob and Arf look back at this in surprise.

Panel 1 (and only): Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) and Arf (a shaggy mop of a dog) are pulling a large cart filled to the brim with steel wire. Bob’s right arm is broken and elongated, dangling at his side, and the propeller on his helmet is snapped. The image is zoomed way out to show a desolate and hilly landscape that is very difficult to navigate this cart across. The landscape and characters are entirely blacked in so that they are only in silhouette.

Bob’s right arm is broken and elongated, dangling at his side, and the propeller on his helmet is snapped. Bob: I hope we can stop the bad guys, Arf. Panel 2: Bob stops to look up into the sky. He is having an emotion. Bob: I don’t know why the evil robots are so intent on harming humans. Panel 3: The two begin pulling once more. Bob: Alpha has such a poor opinion of Dr. Smith. I’m sure he isn’t replacing me.

Bob’s right arm is broken and elongated, dangling at his side, and the propeller on his helmet is snapped. Bob: The agreement was for all I could carry. Panel 2: Bob grabs a lead rope on the cart and prepares to pull. Bob: But this will be difficult with only one arm. Panel 3: Closeup on Arf who perks up as if having an epiphany. Panel 4: Pulls back to show both of them and the cart once more. Arf has taken the other lead rope in his tiny mouth and is going to do his darndest to help pull. Bob: Good dog.

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) and Arf (a shaggy mop of a dog) stand looking at the carnage Bob has wrought. Bob’s right arm is broken and elongated, dangling at his side, and the propeller on his helmet is snapped. Before them lies a massive, triangular mech head. Wires spill out of holes that have been blown in its surface. Arf looks quizzical. Bob: I feel like I’ve forgotten something. Panel 2: In the other direction lie several dead Henchmen (stick figures with an inverted triangle for a head) wires protrude from them as well. Bob: If it’s important, I’m sure I’ll remember it. Panel 3: Cut to a lone henchman peddling furiously on a stationary bike. Wires lead from the bike off screen. Astute readers will recognize it as the Henchman powering an entire dam by itself.

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) spreads his arms wide in frustration. Bob: This is ridiculous! We need to find something that would be fair to both of us. Panel 2: The triangular head of General Alpha emanates from a device on the floor. He looks down and away in thought. Alpha: … Panel 3: Alpha looks back to Bob. Alpha: We could fall back on the old standby? Panel 4: Panel pulls out to show both robots in conversation. Bob is nodding. Alpha: I pit an entire army against you in a Sunday strip and if you win you get your steel wire.

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) stands looking at the triangular, holographic head of General Alpha emanating from a device on the floor. Alpha looks concerned. Bob: I hate to do this, but we might have to settle this the old fashioned way. Panel 2: Closeup of Bob’s face, who looks very serious. Bob: Direct Combat. Panel 3: Closeup of Alpha’s face, which has shifted to anger. Alpha: Out of the question! That is bad no matter who wins. Panel 4: Pulls back to show both robots once more. Alpha: The strip is named after you. And if you beat me this early, it will not be narratively satisfying.

My human is having a rough go of it with everything happening right now. Take care of the people around you and always keep love in your heart. Times are hard, but I believe in you.

Panel 1: The angry triangular head of General Alpha emanates from a device on the floor. Alpha: Robots solved Checkers a long time ago. As well as Chess and Go. Panel 2: Alpha leans forward with interest. Alpha: We would be evenly matched. …Tetris? Panel 3: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) spreads his arms wide in frustration. Bob: No. I’m not good at that, so it wouldn’t be fair. Panel 4: Panel pulls out to show both robots in conversation. Bob: Twister? Alpha: I am a holographic head and I don’t want to get up.

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) stands looking at the triangular, holographic head of General Alpha emanating from a device on the floor. Alpha looks interested. In the background, a Henchman (a stick figure with an inverted triangle for a head) tosses a ball very far. Arf (a shaggy mop of a dog) chases after it. Bob: If you win, then I will walk away from this fight and let you have your way. Panel 2: Bob and Alpha remain in the same position. Arf has caught the ball and is returning it to the Henchman. Bob: But if I win, you let me have all the steel wire I can carry. Panel 3: Bob and Alpha remain in the same position. The Henchman tosses the ball for Arf once more. Alpha: This is acceptable, Robert. Name your contest. Bob: We could play Checkers?

Bob: And you have the highest concentration of steel wire. Panel 3: Closeup on Alpha’s face, who gives a proud and helpful look. Alpha: My entire army is made with it!

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) stands looking at the triangular, holographic head of General Alpha emanating from a device on the floor. Alpha looks intrigued. Bob: My quest has been very tiring, so I am not going to waste time. Panel 2: Same as Panel 1, but Alpha is listening intently. Bob: I’m looking for several miles of steel wire. Panel 3: Closeup of Alpha who is rolling his eyes. Alpha: Gee, if only you knew someone who has that. Panel 4: Closeup of Bob’s face. He is giving Alpha a level “you’ve got to be kidding me” stare.

Panel 1: Bob (a box robot with a worm sticking out of it) stands before the triangular, holographic head of General Alpha emanating from a device on the floor. Bob: I can see that your primary function is lies. Once we build our new weapon, it will be your end! Panel 2: Same as panel 1. Alpha: I’m sorry, Robert, but Dr. Smith does not care about you. You are not building a weapon. Panel 3: Alpha’s expression hardens. Alpha: You are collecting the parts for your replacement.
