“You gotta strike while the union is hot
You gotta get all the money they got
When the bosses say to stick it
You must stand right up & picket
You must strike while the union is hot
You gotta grab every scab by the hair
Just to make sure he knows that you care
For this world is made of money
And wouldn’t it be funny
If we struck while the union is hot
Say what?
If we struck while the union is hot
I hear ya!
If we struck while the union is hot …”
I present, the Robot Bilko…
That was an underrated Steve Martin movie. Although, admittedly, not by that much.
Check out the original TV series with Phil SIlvers
Unabashed Steve Martin/Bilko fan here. And Phil Silvers. Martin did a stand out imitation.
Ironic, is it not? What Anasigma subjected its synthetic prisoners to the AIs here have themselves devised.
we are all just prisoners of our own device
Arrggh! Here, have this slightly battered Internet.
And who has a handy dandy Machine Union ID? Why, Nick does.
As does Moustachio. Not sure about Hitty, but she’s connected to Annex One at the moment anyway.
Would an intern be a union member?
Oh, good point.
Hitty and M have already won an AI gladiatorial game. They’re unstoppable.
Yes, but that game was in our world. Can they win if they can’t provide the necessary kinetic energy to their opponents?
Should I give him points for being honest or worried at how easy it is to trick the good old robot uninon?
I’m thinking his facial expression and “Um. Yeah.” indicates he’s not being honest.
No blood. No scabs.
Oh man thats so good!

Oh yeah, there is a face we would buy a used car from.
I foresee Nick donning armor and vanquishing all comers by seizing control of his opponents’ weapons!
Barron’s facial expression in panel 3 may be the most sheepish expression I have ever seen.
