Is that… is that a baby’s arm in the flames?
That arm totally sells the drawing.
Not that I want to ruin that delightful tune for you, but do you know:

It may rock even more.
Dude, doing The Human is so 1980s.
Passe.
The humans are dead
They look like they’re dead
It had to be done
I’ll just confirm that they’re dead
So that we can have fun
Affirmative, I poked one it was dead.
That is gorgeous.
More days should start with me getting Daft Punk stuck in my head. Rock on.
Not that I want to ruin that delightful tune for you, but do you know:
Y’know, there’s a reason that Daft Punk album is called Discovery.
The humans are dead
It had to be done
So that we could have fun
I can not wait to get my meathandlers on this book.
“Rock, rock, robot rock!”
sez Afrika Bambaataa
Bah! A mere pretender to the throne! Robot Phil of Sugarshock is the true Robot of Rock!
All of your French bands are belong to us now.
That is unmitigatedly rad.
Ron Mael’s a bit robotic, and he’s penned this song

OK, that was tenuous. ALSO, why does that robot have an elephant’s trunk?
This is so, so much better than the BSG finale. Seriously.
Side note: why don’t more robots have long, tapir-like noses? I think a trunk totally sells the whole kill-crush-destroy thing.
Dick Briefer is the best name ever.
You know, they should really put this in the Guggenheim. It fits the description of “horrifyingly beautiful” and makes a lot more sense than pretty much all the crap they have of Yoko Ono there.
“Why do I have a dick on my face?
Just because I can, Humans… Just because … I… Can.”
He does have a “Whooo Robots Rule!” vibe goin’ on.
That robot just does not give a shit. Does he even know?
