Panel 1: D4VE is waking up in a back alley, clearly roughed up.

D4VE: WHAT THE?
(link)
*sigh*... REPLAY.

Panel 2: D4VE's memory replay. He is taking many shots of oil, a crowd around him. These replay shots are all from D4VE's perspective.

Crowd: 1! 10! 11! 100! 101! 110! 111! 1000! (AND SO ON)

Panel 3: Corrupted, warped footage, FILE CORRUPT in block letters at the bottom. We can kind of see that he's driving a car.

Panel 4: D4VE talking to a prostitute. The prostitute is obviously sick of his shit

D4VE: COME ON, SAY IT!

Prostitute: I'D RATHER NOT.

D4VE: COME OOOOOOOON!

Prostitute:  FIIIIIIIINE. DEAD OR ALIVE, YOU'RE CUMMING IN ME!

Panel 5: More corrupted footage. We can see a little bit of what he's doing, and it's sex. again, FILE CORRUPT in block letters.

Speech bubble: (INAUDIBLE) SPOOGE, CREEP!

Panel 6: D4VE's head is flying into the air, and we see through its eyes as it looks downward on D4VE in a robot fighting ring, his headless body flying backward from a punch from a big blue boxing robot.

PA: YOU KNOCKED HIS BLOCK OFF!

Panel 7: black panel, END OF REPLAY in white block letters.

Panel 8: D4VE back in the alley.

D4VE: FUCK. FUCK FUCK FUCK. FUCK*10^25.

  1. Excellent script Niel. Really funny and some great ideas in there. I love the nod to Rock'em Sock'em and the binary encouragement.

    The dialogue in p4 might be a bit hard to fit in. That panel is sort of begging for a robot pun too.

    Have you ever seen the Black Mirror episode "An Entire History of You"? It's well worth a watch if you haven't. Deals with a future where humans have replay sofware embedded in their heads like you've shown here with D4VE.
