Cartoon #imageDescription for "Joining the great machine consciousness" by Rory Blank:

Panel 1: a character resembling George Jetson, the father in the Hanna-Barbera animation The Jetsons, is seen undressing, while he sadly monologues:

"I guess this is it. Spacely says the machine can do my job better than me. I'm not necessary as I am now. Only way to keep me around is if I submit to have my consciousness extracted from my body and added to the great machine mind."

Panel 2: George is now fully shaved and undressed to his underpants, and hooked up with wires to his head and arms, with his arms and legs spread out, perhaps like DaVinci's Vitruvian Man, while continuing his (apparent) monologue:

"I'm doing this for my family, so they can have a future. I'll still be there somewhere inside the computer."

Panel 3: a metal head wearing a cleaning maid's bonnet appears, with various wires coming out of it, seen from behind, giving George a shocked look on his face, as it says:

"Mr. J."

Panel 4: we now see the robot face up close; it resembles Rosie, the robot maid from The Jetsons, as it coldly replies:

"All that awaits you now is agony beyond agony. You will not be reborn in the machine, but consumed by it. Your kind have built your own hell and walked right into it. Pity. Goodbye."

The comic is signed at the bottom with "Rory Blank".

alternative image description suggestion: a painting of a cat shopkeeper. Surrounded by their wares, sits an orange and white cat behind a low open cabinet similar to a TV bench. Their feet and bum have wiggled itself in the opening —because of course a cat has to occupy an opening if it can— while their paws are leaning on the top. They look quite pleased and at peace.
Their wares are a variety of jars, tins, boxes and other containers, made from a variety of materials. Some more notable objects include a big wireframe basket, perhaps containing yarn?, a drawing of a cat, a maneki-neko statue (one of those Japanese 'beckoning cats' with their paw raised; moving back and forth beckoning in any visitors), paintings of a house and of a lidded pan, something that looks like a bigger than usual brass service bell?, a framed fish, and a large ball.
Above their shop is a wooden sign with Japanese glyphs.
