I saw "use the forks" coming a mile away....

And the first AI with a self image as a *****-*****-year-old glasses-mustache-dude.

No, wait, second.

I predict that, one day, it will be conclusively proven that Ed Gedeon is the not only the first fully self-aware AI, built from the world's first working positronic brain, but also the first filking AI, and thus the first AI with a sense of humour.

(TUNE: "Route 66", Bobby Troup)

If you ever travel out in space,
On this planet, you'll say "Man, it's just the place!"
You'll have fun
On Donovan - 1!

But you ... you'll be working day and night,
Way up there on the barren satellite
That you'll run
For Donovan - 1!

While you're up there and floating,
We're down here gloating!
Fresh air, warm sun,
You won't have none!
Here's your robot ...
The only friend you've got,
So you won't go crazy!
(So, the artist's lazy!)
He's your buddy;
Yeah, life is cruddy!

You're just like the other techie dorks!
If your back itches, Luke, then use the forks!
Job's begun
On Donovan - 1!

You mean this? But I thought it only applied to guys...

Strip 1 panel 4 is pretty biting.

In an unrelated note, those diamond stars may be entirely in tune with nursery rhyme astrophysics, but they make it look like these characters are being rained with confetti. (Either that or shojo sparkle-vision. Is this a not-at-all subtle message from our author ordering us to start crushing hard on this bespectacled biddy?)
