Put me down as a maybe: I'm a big fan of 1000 Island AND Big Mac 'Special Sauce', but I wonder about the branding since last year Heinz was acquired by the parent company of Kraft, maker of Mayo since way back when... why not "Kraft/Heinz Mayochup"?

Interesting story behind "The Unknown Comic", who was Murray Langston (everything I'm aware of in his Wikipedia listing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unknown_Comic is accurate), and who, after many other TV appearances, was semi-ashamed he had to do The Gong Show because he needed the money (and every Hollywood union member who appeared on it got paid scale). And made that shame into an anonymous character who was also an extreme stereotype of a 'bad comic' who became one of the show's most popular regular characters and Langston's second career.

Otterbot (Otterficial Intelligence) by dooomcat, 2XL Navy (I live just inland from a West Coast otter colony so I have a lot of Otter Pun shirts, including Otter Space and Significant Otter... I just discovered the Like No Otter shirt... I suspect whether I win or not I'll buy some otter thing)

"Bill Scott, cocreator of Rocky and Bullwinkle, likewise did the voices of Mr. Peabody and Bullwinkle. "
AND Dudley Do-Right, George of the Jungle, Superchicken and Tom Swift (do you see a pattern here?) He also took over as the voice of Fillmore Bear on the less-remembered Hoppity Hooper, because the guy they originally hired for the voice, Alan Reed, got a better offer to do Fred Flintstone. Bill Scott co-produced, did a ton of writing and a ton of voices for the cartoons known as Jay Ward Productions, which not enough people know because he didn't want his name to pop up several times on the end credits. As a "cartoon aficionado", I consider Bill Scott my 'humble hero'.
My other cartoon voice idol is June Foray, who got her big break before she was 30 doing the voice of Granny in the Tweety and Sylvester cartoons (and never got a screen credit because Mel Blanc's contract guaranteed him the ONLY voice credit), and is still occasionally working at the age of 98, including the 'little boy' voice of Rocky (of 'and Bullwinkle'). Granny in her 20s and Rocky in her 90s. Wow.

Yeah, but I consider the story incomplete... There should be a final panel where Slur is taken out by being hit with... a spade.

Am I wrong for suggesing that? Of course I am.

"it can absorb the sum total of human knowledge in an instant"... more than half of which is wrong (sometimes intentionally)... even the Wikipedia it's fed at first isn't all that accurate. And the 'creators' should not be resisting letting the AI have a female name - it'll increase its likelihood of accessing a productive/compassionate attitude. Yep, these developers aren't going to get this right soon - I feel sorry for #29 thru #99.
