# Willy and Dolly 102, strip 2 of 4: "A Name Like Yours"

**Panel 1.** Willy and Dolly beside the Hub.
- Dolly, to the reader: "First, you pick a name no one else has."
- John types: "john"

**Panel 2.** A page flaps back out of the Hub toward John's side: TAKEN.
- John types: "john2"

**Panel 3.** Another page flaps back out: TAKEN.
- John types: "john_the_human"

**Panel 4.** A page sits in the notebook: WELCOME, JOHN_THE_HUMAN. Willy has tried his own page, "willy", and it flaps right back out at him: TAKEN.
- Willy, small: "There's another Willy?"

**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.
