The professor refers to his robot as perfect, yet capable of being a “savage” and “murderous.” This early development of the robot archetype seems to parallel attitudes toward Native Americans in early American history. I would be interested to see if this is merely a coincidence, or if this appears in other comics as well.
Hmmm, there are a LOT of interesting things going on in this comic!!!
First, the 2 scientists, or "Older Freud" and "Younger Freud" as I refer to them, switch places when they are shown. Hmmm, did they stop for lunch somewhere?
And if you knew your robot could smell, first off, congrats, that is a REALLY hard thing to do! Second off, if a fairly common smell will make it violate a Law of Robotics, perhaps turning off that circuit would be advisable.
And then, these Freudian appearing scientists are ignorant regarding fetishism and S&M? I know places who would pay BIG BUCKS for a submissive fetish slave that is indestructible, if a bit literal...
Thanks for sharing this!
