A four-panel comic. A blonde girl plays a truth-game with a red boxy robot called Auto-Tron 4000, which has a single round red eye, while two friends watch. She asks the robot who it has a crush on; the robot says it is incapable of love and may return null. She protests that if so, it can't ask about their crushes either; the robot agrees. The robot then asks her 'Truth or dare?' and she picks Truth. In the final panel, the robot's red eye glowing, it asks: 'Why does your brain release more nerve growth hormone whenever you look at Bobby?' The girl, flustered, answers 'No reason.' Votey: a close-up of the robot's glowing red eye, with a jagged speech bubble reading 'DUBIOUS.'
