A cartoon drawing of a man behind a desk. Facing him is an enormous, gear-filled robot drawn in glorious Industrial Age style. On the man's desk are papers reading "Production / Costs / Wages / Output."
THE SAVING OF LABOUR.
The Robot. "Master, I can do the work of fifty men."
Employer. "Yes, I know that, but who is to support the fifty men?"
📖 London Punch, 1933

Very much like a Black Mirror episode. Read it the end for the twist.

I resisted reading this, but omg - it really was insane… a quick and disturbing read to say the least.

I’m having trouble caring anymore, even though I enjoyed the previous seasons. Too drawn out. Disappointed it’s not a summer release

Two episodes in and I’m hanging on for now. But I will admit there’s something about it I don’t get. I’m hoping I figure it out.

I was fortunate to meet Tom Gauld a few years ago. I think I have everything he’s published, including his card game.

Something in the works. Kirk in the works, I should say.

I agree, but not quite like you have it. I use the time to work on comics and other things I don’t have time to do while teaching.

Is this Hazelton? It doesn’t quite look like his work.

Regardless, that has to be one of the greatest covers from someone taking over a title.

What’s that worth now? I remember I couldn’t afford that one when I was collecting the Simonson run.

Just requested the Complete X-Factor by him at the library. I assume it has this story.
