Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he?

A 1930s newspaper clipping headlined:

“Mechanical Man” Servant of Mankind and Not Oppressor, Avers Inventor.

Below, a photograph of a man in a suit and bow tie standing with a crude robot, essentially a radio mounted in the torso of a humanoid robot made out of what looks like flat pieces of sheet metal. The robot and inventor are posing in a classroom setting, with an American flag, a blackboard, and some sort of 18th century portrait of a man.

The past is never dead.

On the old highway - past the collapsed bridge - by the abandoned mall - and the old Covid testing site - in the abandoned addition to the abandoned mall - inside the abandoned Pandora Jewelry - there is a box. Cat and Girl approach a chest. They open it - "It's just jewelry!" says Cat. Girl looks inside. "Everything else escaped." "Well where am I gonna find MISFORTUNE?" Cat asks. They leave. "We could try the Jamba Juice" Girl says. "For an OVERPRICE ground bones of the state's enemies smoothie?" Says Cat. "NO THANKS."

I do somehow deeply believe that speech bubbles that meet the edges of a panel are coarse and simple while speech bubbles entirely within a panel are sophisticated and intellectual

The Good Consumer.

"I'm BOYCOTTING Megacorp" Girl says, shaking her first. "I'm cancelling Mega-TV! Im taking my money out of Megacoin - I've stopped shopping at Megamart - I've stopped reading the Mega Post. I told EVERYONE I'm deleting my MEGA APP ACCOUNT. And I'm reducing the amount of time I spend on my Megacorp ADDICTIVE TRACKING DEVICE! I will REENGAGE with the WORLD." Girl throws her phone away and looks into the woods. "If I can't buy bombs from Mega-Arms," Cat says, "how am I supposed to MASSACRE my CIVILIANS?" "There shouldn't be just one company for everything," says Girl.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was an easy-to-follow feed of your favorite #TopatoCo #creators? Well, after conferring with the rotted shadow creature that lives in the crawlspace above the employee bathrooms, we have one now!
