The hipster moustache and soul patch disappear in angled views. Isn’t technology grand!

Early morning greetings to all East Coat readers/commenters.And late night greetings to all West Coast readers/commenters.-——-@Randy_B: especially in this comic.-——-Have a prosperous day my friends.

Sedgie, you wouldn’t deliberately pick on Jarvis, would you?

Think about it, my privileged friend: would you rather grow up with the robot as your assistant, or with Jarvis as your Gentleman’s Gentleman?

I had robotic surgery for colon cancer, 13 hours, followed by 3 days induced sleep (Propofol). Five surgeries later I ended up with a colostomy, non functioning reproductive bits, retention and incontinence, a diverticulated bladder, kidney disease, frequent UTIs. 90 days of hospitalization included a perforated colon, sepsis, C-dif, two ileostomies, porcine patch repair, a dozen Emergency Room visits, several outpatient surgeries.

But, hey, I’m alive and cancer free. I do not recommend robotics. I think it went much like this ’toon. (I was asleep). If you need it go orthoscopic.

@krcaddis: I’m sorry that you had/have all those problems. Praying for you. God Bless You my friend.

Thanks for the kind thoughts, I’m quite ok now but for some inconveniences. I can handle those; just happy to be here.

The human body is quite amazing in the ability to take bad things in stride, then move on, recover. I was fortunate to find out very early, connect with a great oncologist, survive a mediocre surgeon, and have great medical insurance at the time. I’d be homeless, if not dead, without that.

the cyborg (er, android…. whatever) goes from beard to clean shaven, back to beard in only a few panels. What will technology think of next?
