Description

Sure! Here is a detailed description of the comic, along with the transcribed text:

Panel 1:
A man with a beard and a warm smile, dressed in a brown jacket, is talking to a robot with a round top and a glowing green light. The robot has a humanoid shape.
Text:
"Hey AI, I bet you can't tell me why Anne of Green Gables appeals to people so much."

Panel 2:
The robot responds. The man now looks curious.
Text:
"HUMANS DESIRE UNCOMPLEX NURTURING RELATIONSHIPS. THE NOVEL IN QUESTION CENTERS ON AN ORPHAN WITH NO FAMILY ATTACHMENTS AND NO PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGE FROM THAT LOSS."

Panel 3:
The robot continues explaining, while the man listens intently.
Text:
"SHE IS INTELLIGENT, AMUSING, REQUIRES MINIMAL EFFORT, AND BECAUSE THE NARRATOR IS OMNISCIENT YOU KNOW SHE IS KIND AND GOOD-INTENTIONED."

Panel 4:
The robot continues to elaborate. The man is now looking slightly taken aback.
Text:
"IN THE SAME WAY MOVIES ISOLATE COMPLEX FEELINGS AND REALISTIC BODIES FROM THE ACT OF SEX, THIS NOVEL ISOLATES COMPLEX FEELINGS AND REALISTIC MINDS FROM THE ACT OF CHILD-REARING."

Panel 5:
The robot makes a broad statement, and the man looks a bit overwhelmed.
Text:
"HUMANS BEING EVOLVED ANIMALS WITH LIMITED COMPREHENSION, IDEALIZED BABY-MAKING AND BABY-RAISING STORIES ARE COMPELLING TO YOU IN THE SAME WAY A CYLINDER OF SYRUP COMPELS A HUMMINGBIRD."

Panel 6:
The man stutters while reacting to the robot, looking frustrated.
Text:
"I… I…"

Panel 7:
The man, now animated and passionate, emphatically exclaims.
Text:
"NO! IT’S BECAUSE SHE'S SPUNKY! SHE'S SPUNKY GODDAMN YOU!"

Panel 8:
The robot responds calmly. The man appears frustrated but calms down a bit.
Text:
"OKAY, BUDDY. SURE, BUDDY."
