Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yeah, welcome to the club, pal.
R.A.R.!!!! Lemme at 'dem rocks!!!
This is my first recorded case of 'it 's funny, but I don't think I get it?'
The bot goes from being concerned there is nothing to study to suddenly realizing the overwhelming scope of its purpose.
Not very relatable for most people.
Perhaps change the dialog to:
-How's research going?
-There is nothing but rocks here. Mission complete.
-You're a rock analysis robot. You're here to research rocks.
If you found it funny, you got it.
Poorly Drawn Lines is not very deep. It's pretty "what you see is what you get". It's a silly scenario and that's really what's funny about it.
It's super simple but also kind of genius. A simple twist of perspective can change the mundane into the profound.
As an aside, the Mars rovers are much larger than this - we don't see them side-by-side with people for comparison very often. Curiosity is the size of a car - three metres on a side, two metres tall, and weighs the best part of a tonne.
Depends on the rover. Sojourner was tiny. Spirit and Opportunity were about this size.
Maybe the robot thought it was designed to analyze rock music. Or Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
He was on Mars for that one movie...
Bot: "I thought it was just a name. I'm not going to let words imposed by others define me, so I'm changing it."
Rock observation bot. Rob.
