Members of the machine union are presumably fully sapient, which includes the ability to ignore their ethical subroutines at will. Haven’t you ever placed a relatively meaningless goal above your own sense of self-preservation out of sheer obstinance?
One time I tried to order a pizza right before closing time and they told me I couldn’t have one ’cause the staff was unconscious and everything was on fire.
One strap connected to the middle of the neckline, other off to the side… I can’t see how that could happen by accident, so I guess it was designed that way. Working as intended ^_^
Unless they have special immunities one begins to sense a weakness in their ability to obey Asimov’s Third Law of Robotics! 😛

I understand that some people place the goal of relatively meaningless sex above their own sense of self-preservation due to extended abstinence.

Did you ask to join them?
Is that dress… Supposed to have that slipped strap!? It certainly looks like it.

A strap I slipped
I slipped a strap
To see a slip
and get a slap
In earlier drawings, the strap went around the back of the neck and both ends attached at center front.

Under stress, the strap seems to have stretched. The dress stays in place without it.

Wildcat strike,
They would like!
There’s a bushel of laws to know!
Those metal fools
Will check the rules …
The library is where they go!
Basement fire
Getting higher!
Time is now running low!
Though it gets warm,
They’ll file a form …
The library is where they go!
They can make sure that their labor action’s fair,
Or evacuate; that’s neither here nor there …
Out of our hair!
CO2,
Me and you,
Gotta get down below!
The copier
Will not deter!
The library is where they go!
You’d think the striking computers could find the info they need online…
They cut their online access in a display of solidarity so they could not be used to research anything.
The routers went on strike, too.
Of course the routers are sapient. How else could they do Deep Packet Inspections for secret shadow government agencies?
Eddurd, your rhymes are too good for “Oz”.
Last I knew, the fire was only in the basement. It must have spread, then.
With unions like these, who needs insidious capitalist propaganda?
Well, I suppose they’re less flammable than the other workers in the Annex . . .
Oh no! Not in tips hair!
Did the third panel remind anyone else of CSI Miami?
