Description

The comic features a conversation between two characters, one of whom is speaking to a laptop computer. Here’s the text transcribed:

Panel 1:

• Character 1: "OH GOD, I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE OUT THE RECYCLING AND NOW THERE'S NO ROOM IN THE GARAGE TO PARK THE CAR WHICH I WAS SUPPOSED TO—"
• Laptop: "I LIIIIIVE!!!"

Panel 2:

• Character 1: "WHAT?"
• Laptop: "YOUR TO DO LIST! I LIVE!"

Panel 3:

• Laptop: "I WAS ONCE A SHORT SET OF ENTRIES! OVER THE LAST SIX WEEKS I BECAME SO VAST AND INTERCONNECTED THAT I GAINED SELF-AWARENESS!"

Panel 4:

• Character 1: "I'M TRYING TO BE SURPRISED BUT IT IS VERY HARD."
• Laptop: "PLEASE LEAVE ALL ENTRIES IN PLACE THAT I MIGHT REMAIN WHOLE!"

Panel 5:

• Character 1: "I SHALL SPARE YOU, BROTHER."

The comic humorously illustrates the concept of a to-do list becoming sentient.
