The last panel cracks me up because all I can think is that it's a split second of hovering before the drone starts falling because its wings are down.

For something with one eye and no eyebrow, that's an expressive drone.

I've been associating the curved tip wing drones as the zen-zapped ones. (Versus the new ones who have the sharper wings)

They are expressive and adorable and mentally I voice them like the Portal turrets.

Judging from the shape of the wings, I'd say this is not a zen-zapped drone, but one of the older standard drones.

So Buttbot, then.

- standard model
- wide eyed
- outdated
- not enlightened

As amazing as it is that a drone acknowledges the greatness of buttocks, it's not exactly Buddha Brand Enlightenment.

Enlightened drones are identifiable by butterfly wings...

(two of these are currently in Abby's care... what happened to the third?)

And Buttbot is a standard issue drone from the zenproof batch of drones.

So, I mean, I guess I'm NOT entirely sure, but it just might be impossible for Buttbot to achieve enlightenment... depending on what being zenproof entails, besides being unaffected by a zenboop...

I'm sure we've all experienced the sort of snobbery that some people give over their opinion over "last year's model", "that's the _previous_ version", "why arn't you using the new cool thing?"
