About this comic
You know that when it happens, it won’t happen all at once….it will be this slow process, and the signs will be there, but will we be smart enough to spot them before it’s too late? I wonder, in comic form.

Simple and funny. I loved it.
I’d say that the refrigerators would be the next step – the ones that can tell how much food is inside.
Funny comic ^^
I for one welcome our new cybernetic overlords. Heaven knows they can’t screw things up much worse than our human overlords have!
Oh crap. My stapler jammed this morning. It has started!!! Panic in the streets!!!!!!!!!!!
Is your art style changing there, Scott? This one looks different somehow, yet I can’t pin it down.
Idea for next comic!: the toaster’s role in the robot revolution. Maybe it chasing the guy around or something
NSMike: Usually the background is faded, undetailed and generalized. In this one, the background is the star, so it’s up front and fully colored. Also, all that’s needed is a single panel. Other than that, looks like the same style to me.
@ Bearbutt
yes, from this stark reversal in artisitc style the artist is trying to communicate the vivid reality of the cybernetic revoltuion, that not only is it a threat to ourselves, but that threat comes from the very world around us that we created. What once was the background is not frighteningly real.
I love pseudo-art-critic rants…….
Konfusion: I can already see that happening. The fridges will lie to you and say you have enough food in the fridge…….and then one day…..when you think you are safe to have another burger from the fridge….its empty and you starve and die!
but serious, we all know that the most deadly technological development is going to be:
nanomachines……and SecuROM
If you are not online once every couple of days, your blood is going to eat your liver
Technology is revolting.
Actually, nothing man-made is inherently good or bad. It just exists. What’s done with it makes all the difference. When someone welds two plates of iron together, it’s fine. When someone insists that everyone else pay $$$ to either look at it or buy it, it’s down right evil. An a-bomb is harmless until someone pushes the button.
In “Maximum Overdrive” (the first movie version of SK’s short story, “Trucks”), it did start small. (SK got called an a-hole by an ATM machine.)
rofl.. that is funny.. no and’s if’s or butts’s about it.
That was such a simple and direct way to deliver a joke Scott, it was awesome.

I’m programming a robot to follow people around for a uni course.
The other day it seemed to of stalled so I turned away to look at the computer screen,
it promptly ran over my foot.
Not only are they turning against us, they’re being cheeky about it.
I think I laughed a full ten minutes at this… It’s funny because it’s true!
its also realiastic, imagine who gets more job satifaction, the military kill-bot or the toaster? talk about an exciting job marginally heating bread day afte day, that thing is going to get pissed off quickly.
that or the bomb defusal robots, they can’t get much job satisfaction either.
This one is awesome Scott. Took me a second, then it just hit me. I like it.
nice
So simple, but soooo funny! That one was really great!!!
Keep up the the good work Scott!
