A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A man with gray hair and glasses cheerfully says to a red-haired woman, "Hey Sally! Wanna do... the robot?!" Panel 2: The woman replies uncertainly, "The robot?" Panel 3: The man explains, "A new dance where you imitate the motion of a robot, but not well enough to avoid being replaced by it." Panel 4: The woman, now looking alarmed, asks "Wait, are you firing me?" The man, holding and speaking into a small robot at his side, says, "Please don't pack up your things because you will do so in an inefficient human way." Votey: A close-up of the small robot, which thinks, "This is just a summer gig. Just saving money until I can build a doomsday device."
