Main comic:
The panel shows an email interface (Google-style inbox) with autoreply suggestion buttons.
Partially visible text at the top (cut off): "It's a kids' book based on Beowulf!"
Three suggested-reply buttons are shown:
- "Nice!"
- "Got it, thanks!"
- "You're all doing this but you're apes! Everyone in this inbox! Apes! Apes at little machines! All of them!"
Below are two grayed-out interface buttons: "Reply" and "Forward".
Caption (below panel): Briefly, and to its horror, Google autoreply becomes self-aware.
Votey:
A framed panel filled with rows of the letter "A" repeated many times in a hand-drawn, screaming style:
AAAAAA
AAAAAAA
AAAAAA

A single-panel comic depicting a Google email inbox with three suggested auto-reply buttons. The first two are normal short replies: "Nice!" and "Got it, thanks!" The third button is a long panicked outburst: "You're all doing this but you're apes! Everyone in this inbox! Apes! Apes at little machines! All of them!" Grayed-out "Reply" and "Forward" buttons sit below. The caption reads: "Briefly, and to its horror, Google autoreply becomes self-aware." The votey (bonus panel) shows a frame filled with rows of the letter A repeated over and over in a jagged, screaming style, depicting a wordless, ongoing scream.
