This comic and last week’s were inspired by a conversation with an old friend of mine who often has to use a text to speech function to deal with the phonecall robots you get whenever you call just about any company now a days. The idea of her text to speech arguing with a phone robot was something the both of us found pretty funny. I wanted to take the joke to the next level and have it be an actual robot making the call and a flesh and blood (or chiton and acid in this case) lifeform on the other using a voice synthesizer to pretend to be a phone robot.
Well, I always suspected those call centers for Microsoft tech support weren’t quite human! 😀 This is too much like real life! 😀
