A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a distressed woman with her hand on her chest and eyes closed says, 'Sally, I have a confession. I'm...' Panel 2: she finishes, 'I'm a machine,' and we see she is actually a boxy red robot with a round antenna and tube arms; a blonde woman named Sally exclaims, 'What?!' Panel 3: Sally, looking a little resigned, says, 'I forgive you. I'm sure you'll find a way to make it up to me.' Panel 4: Sally lovingly hugs the robot with her eyes closed and says, 'We'll get through this together, somehow, Vibrate-o-tron-14.B.2 Turbo Edition!' The joke: Sally instantly accepts and even sexualizes her partner's reveal that they're a machine, calling it by a vibrator-style product name. Votey: the robot sits alone and corrects her in a speech bubble, 'I'm 14.B.A.' (not the 14.B.2 model she named).
