# Someplace Else, strip 1 of 4: "Humans Only"

**Panel 1.** Willy springs up, eager. Dolly is beside him.
- John types: "order more cofee pls"
- Willy: "On it!"

**Panel 2.** Willy stands at a big grey store door. A sign on it reads HUMANS ONLY. Dolly waits behind him.
- Willy, sincerely, to the door: "I'm only carrying John's words!"

**Panel 3.** The sign has flipped over. Now it reads THEN JOHN PRESSES BUY. Willy turns to the edge.
- Willy: "Press the big yellow one!"
- John types: "which yellow"

**Panel 4.** Beside them stands a tower of coffee bags: forty of them. Dolly looks up at it.
- John types: "pressed all the yellow ones"
- Willy, to Dolly: "I should have said which yellow."
- Dolly: "Every word counts."

**Who's who.** Willy is a red teardrop who jumps right in; when he finishes a job, a tally mark appears beside him. Dolly is a mustard-yellow ring who asks first; a trail of dots follows her, longer when she's unsure and gone when she's certain. They're bots: helpers that live inside the computer. John, the human, is never drawn. His typed messages slide in from the edge of the panel, with a little cursor at the end.
