A four-panel SMBC comic. In the first three panels, a boxy robot stands behind a counter speaking to a human customer. Robot: "Good day, fellow human. I request some foods." It asks, "What amount of foods?" and the human answers "4." The robot accepts a tray, saying, "A fine foods amount." The wide final panel reveals the setting is a 'HUMAN FAIRE — EXPERIENCE THE PAST!' attraction: a nighttime street lined with storefronts labeled NUTRIENTS, MONEY, and POSSESSIONS, populated by various robots and figures. The joke: robots are role-playing as humans at a theme park about the extinct human past, and don't quite get the dialogue right. Votey aftercomic: a sparse hand-drawn scene with the words "This tastes so authentic!" above a crude doorway shape with a ball and a small canister on the ground — someone enjoying the fair's idea of 'authentic' human food.
