A six-panel comic between a red robot and a woman. Panel 1: the robot says "Sally, we can no longer date. I will never understand your 'love'." Panel 2: Sally hopefully replies "But I can teach you! I can teach you of human love!" Panel 3: the robot, embarrassed, says "Oh god. Oh wow. This is awkward. I meant you in particular." Panel 4: Sally retorts "Your 'love' is mostly watching TV together at night and perfunctory sex twice a week." Panel 5: Sally, deflated, says "I don't know what to say." Panel 6: the robot asks "Can you ask your roommate to accept my friend request?" — revealing the breakup was really about pursuing her roommate. Votey: the robot peeks around a wall and asks "What kind of music is she into?", still fishing for details about the roommate.
