A four-panel comic. A grey, vaguely flame-shaped robot with a single glowing yellow eye is yelling at a shirtless man with red hair. Panel 1: the robot shouts "AAAAH! STOP THAT!"; the man asks "STOP WHAT?"; the robot insists "YOU'RE STILL DOING IT!" Panel 2, a caption reads: "THAT GROSS THING WHERE HUMANS INDICATE INTERNAL STATES BY SQUOOSHING FACIAL MUSCLES IN DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS." Panel 3: the robot says "STOP IT! JUST KEEP YOUR FACE STILL AND TELL ME HOW YOU FEEL WITHOUT DOING THE TWITCHY MUSCLE BLOB THING!" and the man's face begins to tear up. Panel 4: the man is now crying with tears streaming down his face, and the horrified robot exclaims "OH JESUS THE TWITCHY PARTS ARE MOIST NOW!" The joke is the robot's disgust at ordinary human facial expressions and crying. Votey panel: a close-up of the robot saying "YOUR CRYING ALSO SMELLS BAD."
