A black-and-white comic strip titled "Functionality" from angryflower.com. Panel 1: Bob the Angry Flower looks pensively at a large, dome-headed robot with a ribbed body and flexible, pipe-like arms (crucially, with rounded off ends, no appendages whatsoever). Bob says, "Well, you're a robot, but I'm not really sure what kind..." Panel 2: Bob points toward a workbench in the background, saying, "Go over there and hammer some nails, I guess..." Panel 3: The robot stands at the workbench covered in loose nails, attempting to pick up a standard hand hammer. Panel 4: With a "clunk", the robot fumbles the hammer. Panel 5: Another dumbling"clunk". A nearby other robot with multiple mechanical arms and built-in hammers pops into the frame, asking, "Need some help?" Panel 6: The hammerbot explains, "It's just that I got a lotta hammers and I was kinda built for the express purpose of hammering but I never actually got to hammer anything..." The first robot flatly replies, "Negative." Panel 7: The first robot continues hammering ("clunk") while the hammerbot watches. Panel 8: The hammerbot strains in existential frustration, vibrating wildly with an intense "UNNNNNGGGHHH!!!!!" as its many internal hammers flail, while the first robot continues its slow, manual "clunk".
