Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for January 30, 2012

Wow, you’re good!

Uh, I think I saw you with that sign in July, Oldbot.

Irony.

Say again ?

Does that count the time he spent pretesting the protesting?

Oldbot says: ”Ò

Q.E.D.

“There are 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don’t”

Dr. Mel – any plans for a Dick Tufeld tribute? “Brewster” would be a good place for it.

All the good parts in this strip are filled by humans and aliens. All the robots ever get are bit parts.

The sign says 9 4 13 2. Must be BOT code for something.

the punchline almost escaped me binary a hair…

Digital, sure you don’t mean byte parts?

translates to this:

“Susan Sunshine rules Punland!”

Hey — thank you Auraful!And very funny, Sherlock!

I use Google translate but hadn’t thought about code converters.

I found one for the hex:

CONVERT HEX HERE

Now a question: I couldn’t copy some of the comments until I zoomed out enough to make them very tiny.

They overscanned the visible comment area in the font size I always use.

When I tried to respond by converting my own strings to binary or hex, the code pasted in here on one line…. waaaaay overscanning the comment field… and only a small portion posted, so I deleted them.

I don’t know where or whether line breaks (HTML or just a carriage return) are permissible in code, or what other method you guys used so your whole comments posted.
