Wow. And in the end there was nothing left alive. Nothing that should have been.

I never noticed Warbot had headlights.

This comic can be read two ways:

1. Warbot intentionally screwed the guy over because he heard the two of them bad mouthing him.

2. Warbot tried to help and ended up making things worse for everyone.

Personally, I think the first, but only because of the way Warbot tossed away the newspaper non-committaly� over his still dying daughter. It definitely seems to mark Warbot as the villain of this specific comic.

I dunno... I really saw it as being the former option.... It fits with the rest of the comic to date. Though, I imagine that's why it's so ambiguous... it's more fun that way.

Good to see Warbot's most horrible creation is still alive - I wonder why the neighbors or apartment inspectors haven't noticed her yet.

Also, how the hell did James and the other guy not notice Warbot on the other side of the cubicle wall?

Warbot actually finished the forms. He didn't crumple them and deliver them. He finished them for the guy. You can see the little pencil in his claws in one of the panels. If he wanted to screw the guy over, he would have just crumpled them and delivered them without the completing step.

How often do you pay attention to ordinary appliances in the background? I mean, a useful appliance, sure, you could pay attention to that, but Warbot? Naw.

Damn, I mean, Damn.

You could make these into anti-suicide motivators with the lesson that it could be much, much worse. But that's assuming it doesn't already secure the intention of suicide in it's mood.

That is so sad. I mean, now he's indirectly responsible for the murder of two, count 'em, two children and their parents. That is sad.

I was gonna give Zack rep but now I'm too depressed to come up with a reason.

EDIT: Warbot's position when finishing the report should have shoved the guy, if not crushed him. But it pales in comparison with how cold and dark Warbot is becoming.

So Warbot's Misery Field only inflicts small indignities upon himself (getting stuck in the sand, being insulted by co-workers and grumpy old men), but saves its real power when it can go after people around Warbot (the passengers on the bus, the people in the movie theater, Kristin, James, Daughter)?
