A four-panel black-and-white comic by Madscott. The recurring bearded man interacts throughout with a small boxy robot — roughly the size of a toaster — that speaks only in nonsense beep words. Panel 1: The robot says "Bleep bop" and the man, looking startled, replies "Oh hi, I was just leaving." Panel 2: The robot says "Beep florp" and the man stares at it wide-eyed, responding "Wow, you're the entire internet." Panel 3: The robot faces away, emitting a dejected "Borp..." while the man asks "And how's that working out for you?" Panel 4: The robot says "Boop" and the man, now leaning in with a sympathetic expression, responds across three bubbles: "Ouch, I can see how that could suck," "Maybe you need a new hobby?" and "Maybe knitting." The comic personifies the internet as a small, weary machine having a rough time — and the man's sincere suggestion of knitting as a therapeutic outlet lands as a warmly absurd act of kindness.

General social question

Posted on October 20, 2023 by Scott
This is my home base and if you are one of the few who follow me here Thank You! I don’t think of this as a social platform though. This is like friends hanging out in my workshop. I do have a general social media question for all of you. Do you treat your different social apps to different content? If someone follows you in one space is there a reason to follow you somewhere else or do you choose to post everything everywhere? I’m thinking that I will start adding different flavors to different apps. Mostly I post drawings everywhere but I also take a lot of car photos. I’m going to stew on this a bit and get back to you.
