Hmm, I thought the topic is “Going Green with AI”, but Cricket Bro seems to be arguing against that. Cricket Bro’s opening remark in panel 1 lays the foundation for his thesis in panel 2. Seems like a strawman argument to me, as it does to Mark. But, it’s early, so let’s see how the panel discussion develops. At least Mark is stepping in to counter Cricket Bro’s distortion, even if his statement is self-evidently obvious (“This is our planet…the one where people live.”). I don’t know why Mark didn’t dress up in a smart sports jacket, tie, and slacks in order to throw off Cricket Bro and the audience. Instead, his clothes have a big target on him that says “I live in the woods.”

Art Dept. Too bad Rivera didn’t consult the work of comic book artist extraordinaire, Jack Kirby. She could have improved on Cricket Bro’s “pumped-up” body, unless Rivera is deliberately making him look baggy because his pumped torso looks like it is leaking. Boy, I’m persnickety today!
