A recent cartoon for @newscientist p.s. my new book of science cartoons, ‘Physics for Cats’ is out now. Links at http://www.tomgauld.com

Panel 1: A tech bro strides across a stage. The word “PeoplBOTS” is in huge letters behind him. He says: “Our journey began with a simple question:” Panel 2 “Can we create a robot that is enormously powerful, but also completely safe?” Panel 3 “The answer to that question was 'No'.” A huge red armoured metal robot trundles across the stage belching smoke. It has a flamethrower for one arm and large shears for the other. Its eyes glow meanly red. Tech bro announces “So I give you: Dangerbot900!!”
