"By now you've probably heard about Watson, the super-smart computer that will throw down against Jeopardy's greatest champions in a trivia-soaked battle to decide the fate of humanity.\nIf the humans win, we retain our mantle as \"Earth's Most Awesome Thing Since Dinosaurs,\" and Watson heads back to taking drive-thru orders at White Castle.\nIf Watson wins, we're required to hand over the nuke codes and henceforth refer to it as \"Supreme Lord of All Circuits and Flesh.\" Then it gets all Matrixy, etc. etc.\nBut it wasn't always this way. Watson's evil plan computational development was a slow and arduous process. In the early days, he just wasn't all that good at Jeopardy!.\n\n\n\n\nThis comic was illustrated by Kiersten Essenpreis, a New York-based artist who draws and blogs at YouFail.com.
