Panel 1: A group of scientists in lab coats stand together, celebrating.
Scientist (a woman with orange hair): "We've done it! The first robot with human-level intelligence!"
Panel 2: The orange-haired scientist stands beside a rounded, pod-like robot on a workbench.
Robot: "What am I here to do?"
Panel 3: Close-up on the orange-haired scientist grinning broadly.
Scientist: "All the stuff WE hate!"
Panel 4: The scientist stands next to the robot. A panel on the robot's body reads "HARD RESET" with a red button beneath it.
Robot: "Interesting!"
Votey:
A simple line-drawing face with a wide, uneasy/sweating expression.
Speech bubble: "Let's just keep repeating until one of them doesn't do that."

A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a cluster of lab-coated scientists celebrate; an orange-haired woman announces, "We've done it! The first robot with human-level intelligence!" Panel 2: the orange-haired scientist stands beside a rounded pod-shaped robot, which asks, "What am I here to do?" Panel 3: a close-up of the grinning scientist replying, "All the stuff WE hate!" Panel 4: the scientist stands next to the robot, whose body has a panel reading "HARD RESET" with a red button; the robot says, "Interesting!" — the joke being that an intelligent robot tasked with everything humans hate would have obvious motivation to use that reset button on its creators. Votey aftercomic: a crudely drawn, nervous sweating face says, "Let's just keep repeating until one of them doesn't do that."
