The New Hire

Wednesday, October 28, 2026

Six-panel comic. Panel 1, titled "The New Hire": the manager in the office next to a cheap beige robot with a crooked CRT head, one big eye and one small one, and a $19.99 price tag still on. Manager: "Procurement found us a cheaper AI. This is Guy." Panel 2: the manager points at Nick and the robot: "It's a tenth of the price. You can both onboard it." Panel 3: the beige robot, cheerful: "Hello! I have already merged all your pull requests." Nick: "Those weren't approved." Panel 4: ostriches stampede through the office, papers flying. The beige robot: "Release complete!" Panel 5: Nick and the robot at their desks, feathers in the air, an ostrich standing between them. No words. Panel 6: the robot, looking at the reader, face unchanged: "Worth every penny."
