First page of a twp page comic: A robot walks out of his home, his robot wife waving goodbye behind him. He lives on an asteroid and walks to a gigantic factory hovering i space. Text (shortened): My hometown is nowhere, my name is nobody. I leave nowhere once a day. I transcend to another world. I count the minutes until I can return. There she is. The factory where I spend my day – every day.
Page two of the episode – The robot is now in the factory with lots of other robots who look almost like him. He takes a broom out of a spind and starts mopping the floor while an antlike rebel or protester runs from the robot-police and gets shot. After that our robot assembles robot heads on an assembly line. In the last picture he is back at home, sitting on a sofa with his robot wife and a robot cat and drinks tea. Text (shortened): We all do as we are told. I'm counting the hours until the evening comes. Until my return to nowhere.I don't even know what I'm working on or what it's good for. Crap job. But in the evening my life is mine. A day in my life, like every day in my life, for a hundred years.
I have some new english-speaking followers, so this post is for you!
