A four-panel comic. A gray robot with a single glowing red eye is breaking up with a dark-haired woman. Panel 1: the robot says "I am sorry. We can no longer be together. I am incapable of love." Panel 2: the woman, smiling, replies "Why don't you just put your love module back in?" Panel 3: a silent close-up of the robot's red eye. Panel 4: the woman says "I saw you take it out this morning," and the robot snaps back "Don't ruin this breakup, Cheryl." The joke: the robot deliberately removed its own love module to manufacture a reason to break up, and is annoyed at being called out. Votey: a close-up of the robot's eye as it says "Ejecting awkwardness module," doubling down by removing the part that would make it feel embarrassed about being caught.
