This is the inevitable future we’re all headed for. I guess this comic is inspired partly by the recent Consumer Electronics Show – but mostly by the excellent British TV series Black Mirror.

Black Mirror is a great show!!
Best sci-fi show currently on TV! Or well, it’s tied with Rick & Morty.
Would be great with a one season TV series where they all gear up to fight the robots, then BAM, solar flare saves the day, and then when people ask for season 2 it’s just stone age with better language and nerds without practical skills.
If there’s initially no promise of a second season, the solar flare will be anticlimactic as hell.
do they go under water?
Oh! I just noticed the humans that are strapped to the wrists of the robots! (Okay, okay, so I’m slow…)
Ah yeah, I realized the humans almost turned out too small to see after I had finished the comic. I hate it when that happens. Maybe I’ll do a zoom-in of some sort in that third panel.
This wasn’t probably intended, but I do like the “*POKE*” in the last panel.
For those who don’t know, POKE was a command that was used with early personal computers back in the 1970s and 1980s. It was used to place a numerical value directly into a specified memory location, which would affect how a computer program behaved.
So it’s neat to see how POKE has come full circle: In 1980, we did it to machines; fifty-five years later in 2035, they do it to us!
@J-L: In post apocalyptic soviet russia, computers POKE you!
A zombie poste about robots and Yakov Smirnov. Trifecta!
