Cartoon #imageDescription for "Joining the great machine consciousness" by Rory Blank:

Panel 1: a character resembling George Jetson, the father in the Hanna-Barbera animation The Jetsons, is seen undressing, while he sadly monologues:

"I guess this is it. Spacely says the machine can do my job better than me. I'm not necessary as I am now. Only way to keep me around is if I submit to have my consciousness extracted from my body and added to the great machine mind."

Panel 2: George is now fully shaved and undressed to his underpants, and hooked up with wires to his head and arms, with his arms and legs spread out, perhaps like DaVinci's Vitruvian Man, while continuing his (apparent) monologue:

"I'm doing this for my family, so they can have a future. I'll still be there somewhere inside the computer."

Panel 3: a metal head wearing a cleaning maid's bonnet appears, with various wires coming out of it, seen from behind, giving George a shocked look on his face, as it says:

"Mr. J."

Panel 4: we now see the robot face up close; it resembles Rosie, the robot maid from The Jetsons, as it coldly replies:

"All that awaits you now is agony beyond agony. You will not be reborn in the machine, but consumed by it. Your kind have built your own hell and walked right into it. Pity. Goodbye."

The comic is signed at the bottom with "Rory Blank".

Image description for two frame comic:
A person turning a radio on, next to a small seedling in a pot, while saying: "Country music makes plants grow!"
In the next frame the seedling is growing towards the radio while the music is still playing, thinking: "must... reach... off... button..."

8 panel comic by Garry Trudeau

Panel 1:

Teacher saying "Okay, let's be clear about the cause of the civil war..." while writing "Slavery" with chalk on a schoolboard.

Panel 2:

Teacher continues off-screen "It's cited in seven state declarations of secession!" while the panel focuses on 3 bored and dejected looking students, one of which is thinking "Hmm... Wonder if I should rat her out..."

Panel 3:

Teacher is now seen facing the classroom: ”Something else not in your new textbook..."
(Two years are written on the blackboard behind her, 1862 and 1863, along with some notes that are partially obscured by the teacher.)
"Nearly 100,000 white southerners volunteered to fight for the union!"

Panel 4:

Focus on the teacher:
"In fact, it was Alabama cavalry who flanked Sherman on his march through Georgia!"

Panel 5:

We now look at the still apathetic or disinterested looking classroom from behind the teacher as she continue:
"Unlike their neighbors, these men accepted Lincoln's free and fair election. They fought to preserve democracy!"

Panel 6:

Student 2: "Whoa. The never-Trumpers of their day."

Student 3: "Mrs. Johnson, this is Florida. Isn't it against the law to teach us the full story?"

Panel 7:

Teacher: "Sadly, yes."
Student 2: "Aren't you worried. Ma'am? What if someone turns you in?"

Panel 8:

Teacher: "Well, my husband's waiting outside in our truck."

Off-screen student: "Go now, ma'am! Before it's too late!"

Student 2: "Take I-95 North! Route 1's a mess!"

Student 3: "Text us when you make the border, okay?"
(Panel is signed "GB Trudeau".)
