GIR in Warbots office? no wonder he could never succeed. :P Look at all of Zim's failures on account of the little doggy/robot.

Don't mind me just thinking out loud.

If they fire Warbot due to his him being a warbot and the handicaps that go along with that, couldn't he sue the hell out of them. I'm sure he could communicate the issue to a lawyer off-panel similar to how he tells his troubles to his therapist.

Also what's up with his coworkers calling him "Warbot" all the time instead of X-017, It's like calling an African coworker "The Black Guy" all the time. This is clearly a hostile work enviornment.

They wouldn't fire him due to his handicaps. They'd fire him because he's not doing his job. He screwed up the Yutani account after all.

I'm sure if Warbot tried to hire a lawyer to claim prejudice got him fired he'd probably get another job that was even worse with the company.

Then the lawyer would lose his firm or something.

That...

That was like a paraplegic getting up and walking for the first time.

I cried.

Dear God, this is sad.
 

The first 13 editions of Warbot have been more depressing than the combined effect of the endings of Brave New World and 1984 and watching Obama bow to leaders of other countries.

Warbot is the saddest possible case you can think of, he can't talk, he's lonely but every date ended up a disaster (even accidentally killing one of them). He failed at making a robot child, even failed at suicide and his biggest accomplishment is picking up a checker piece (I could hear the trumpets blowing in my mind in that epic you-accomplished-something tune).

At least it could be used as an anti-suicide campaign, with the catch-phrase "At least you aren't Warbot. He's so sad he can't even kill himself."

The worst part of all of this is that the funniest thing in the whole series was panel 3 of this comic. That is epic depressing. Yet I somehow can't get enough (this must be how soap operas stay in business.)

Isn't that what he was made for?

I don't get this one.
I just don't get it.

Warbot wants to connect to the lonely old man.

Warbot's efforts are terrible and the old man rebuffs him.

Warbot works super extra hard to be able to pick up a checker without destroying the board.

Warbot appears to be neglecting his real job because he's trying so hard to connect with the old man.

I'm not sure there's anything to get. There usually isn't.

Ahh.
I see. I thought there was some subtle tragedy (other than his coworker's being annoyed and his tenable position in accounting) to be found here. I suppose that is a tragedy in and of itself though. I guess I was looking to deep to find it. Now that I get that, I 'get' the comic.

And Brian, there is a lot of 'getting' in warbot. It's just usually rather overt. Ahh, I love this comic! Is a book deal readily approaching?
