(;_;) <- vertical face mark,sweeping.
Don't sorrow at it, you can catch them somewhere
when their batteries run down.
I hope their batteries are not solar.

/.I don't understand maker-name"IKEA".
Just boorish to ask but I want to know about it.
Is this maker-name the symbol of something?/.

It's a Swedish company that makes furniture. They're known for
selling their products in parts and making the customer assemble
the furniture. In this strip, I'm referring to a couple of old
strips where the origin of the robot is explained.

Basically, she's a "build your own robot" kit, a combination of
Japanese advanced technology and a Swedish business idea.

Thanx!I can see the story clearly.
And now I understand meaning of "arc strip"
to see your next post, episode 351. :-D
Funny robot who has emotion, I remember
80's famous song"Mr.ROBOT"by STYX .
But he(male robot) wasn't berserk......Mmm.
