Transcript:
Calvin: "Ok, the first thing our robot needs is a head" Hobbes: "Should we use a coffee can?" Calvin: "No, that's too small. The head has to hold this tape recorder. See, I've made recordings for the robot's voice!" Hobbes: "Really?" Calvin: "Sure! This way, our robot not only communicates, but we can also "program" him to have the proper personality!" Hobbes: "Personality?" Calvin: "Right. Robots should be RESPECTFUL" Recording: "How may I ease your life, oh grand exalted master?"

Whose voice gives the commands, I wonder. Seems to me ,his servant should have a still younger one than his master. Or is Cal going to eat a chili pepper before he issues his command(s)?
