Description

Here’s the transcription of the comic text:

Panel 1: Robot: "Dave, regression analysis of your behavior indicates that you would find me a better mate if I expressed emotional extremes from time to time."

Man: "Now and then yeah, I’d feel you were a more whole person."

Panel 2: Robot: "Human extreme emotions are expressed with water."

Man: "I don’t think that’s right?"

Panel 3: Robot: "I have completed crying but my feelings, though at a lower pitch, are still predominantly negative."

Panel 4: Man: "It’s not an honest signal of emotional state if you can just switch it on and off."

Panel 5: Robot: "Are you ejecting sweat to indicate anxiety?"

Robot: "Removing ballast in case I need to run from the relationship."
