Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1: A man with a furious expression is shouting passionately. He has short hair and wears a red shirt. He exclaims: "ROBOTS WILL NOT TAKE OUR LIVELIHOODS! WE WILL RISE UP AND DESTROY THE MACHINERY OF OUR SUBJUGATION!"

Panel 2: In a contrasting calm tone, a scientist responds: "Sorry, you’ve been replaced." The man looks shocked and questions, "What?"

Panel 3: The scientist continues, "We’ve created an artificial ludditet. It can fight technological encroachment into middle class jobs 24 hours a day, no rest, no sleep, no vacation, and it works for FREE."

Panel 4: The man seems to have a realization and exclaims: "WOW. WOW! So I can just stay home and watch movies all day?" The scientist responds, "No need! We have a robot that can ingest the entire cinematic corpus in 37 minutes."

Panel 5: The man looks distressed and says: "I’m having a crisis of meaning."

Panel 6: The scientist comments: "Not a very efficient one! Our crisis of meaning bot is capable of perceiving its insignificance as physical pain at four trillion times the typical human rate." The scientist has a smirk as he says this.

Panel 7: In the next panel, the red-shirted man is screaming with exaggerated "A"s filling the speech bubble, symbolizing a primal scream: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Panel 8: The scientist observes calmly and remarks: "Wow, the primal scream robot is working out GREAT!"

This comic humorously addresses themes of technology replacing jobs and the existential crises that can arise from it, using exaggerated reactions for comedic effect.
