The Second Minkis Adventure

Fresh out of Dr. Nando's factory, Minkis immediately
began educating his fellow ignorant robot brothers about life as a human
being, which he used to be before his freakish accident.

Minkis' last memory as a human was of punching random
people in the face. He demonstrated how this was done, but the two dumb robots
didn't have any hands to do it themselves.

Minkis thought he could download some arms for the robots
off the internet at his old house. The three wrestled with this doorway for
hours before finding a building with a wider doorway.

The internet didn't have any arms, but they did
download some cool Hulk Hogan movies onto their hard drives.

The three robots were soon mesmerized by the strange
colorful box in the air that just happened to be showing some new crime
investigation drama.

Minkis suddenly remembered that the box was called a TV
and that TVs were bad for your mental health. So he made the robots go
outside, where they stared at a nice, natural hole in the ground for a while.

As Minkis was explaining how a sidewalk works, one of the
"robots" relieved itself behind Minkis' back.

One of Minkis' hastily-wired circuits blew and he went
into super-tweaking mode. His lasers shot the face off of a hapless bystander
who used to be quite fond of robots but now is kind of bitter about them
because one shot off her face. We couldn't take a picture of this, but above
we have included a lovely oil painting rendition of it.

Dr. Nando built Minkis with a conscience microchip in his
head, so he felt bad about lasering an innocent human. So he tried to
hitchhike out of his own miserable robot life.

An elegant SUV soon stopped by, thinking that it had
found some free cardboard boxes on the side of the road. Minkis used this
opportunity to show the foolish robots how to ride in a car. If only they had
bendable knees, they could have made it.

Eventually, even Minkis' patience ran out when the robots
couldn't even sit in chairs. He knew they would never learn to be humans.

He sold the robots to a girl for three bucks. Not
remembering what money was for, he put it through his shredder. Then he went
to sleep, which was more like a nightmarish medley of memories from his
current hellish life and his happier old life.
