Firstly, I thoroughly enjoyed this. But secondly, I’ve gotta ask! Is that a cameo appearance by Michael 1an Black V5.08, or do a lot of robots just happen to come in that exact design?
See, I suffer from Idrewacoolrobot… itis. Since that comic, I was like, hey! That’s a cool looking robot! And so I used it as my avatar for an eternity. It’s not because it’s Michael 1an Black– I don’t think I even attempted to make it look like a caricature. I liked the design of the robot, as it was totally sweet.
Just wanted to dust off the cobwebs and see the bot in action again. So yeah, I guess it’s a retcon that he’s now Riboflavin’s sidekick, although your explanation about duplicate designs works out too. Yay fan theories!
I just realized: If expensive cereal is $15/box and Ben had $100 after buying his hoverboard, why didn’t he just get six boxes of cereal instead of sno-cones?

It is! But it is not!
