A balding father in glasses leans over, lecturing his disappointed red-haired son: 'Oh, so I should just pay you FULL allowance when the Russian boy is willing to be my son for one-fourth the price, with TWICE the level of obedience? This is Economics 101, buddy!' The boy replies a glum 'Aw!' A caption beneath reads: 'Ivan and Billy were later made redundant by automation.' Votey: A simple robot with a single round eye and a raised wrench arm declares, 'GLORY TO THE PATRIARCH.'
