Conference arc

This is a story arc about Thaddeus Euphemism getting a conference in New York.

Plot
The story arc opens with Bob observing that people only use coffee packets once and then throw them away. Then, he and iBall prank the Interns by putting kitty litter in the used coffee packets, pretending it's a special type of coffee, and selling it to them.

In the next strip, Thaddeus tells Bob and iBall that he was invited to the Genetic Engineering Conference in New York where he will give a speech about how Bob and iBall were created. However, Bob is obscuring iBall's vision and Bob shushes him, so they begin to argue and Thaddeus threatens to dismantle them.

In the next strip, however, neither Bob nor iBall has been dismantled. In fact, Thaddeus has reluctantly agreed to take them to New York with him. He's put iBall into his suitcase to save airfare, but iBall finds it too cramped and Thaddeus's woollen clothes itch, so Bob says that it would be inhumane. Thaddeus agrees and decides to carry iBall in an animal cage instead.

The next strip shows them on the plane: Bob is in a first class seat drinking at least two glasses of champagne, Thaddeus is between two large men who tell him to stop squirming, wondering how Bob got the first class seat, and iBall is in his cage, having unlocked a dog's and trying to communicate with him to get him to open his cage.

In the next strip, they've arrived and Bob is checking in at a hotel. The manager says, "Waa!" and Bob thinks he's scared him, but it turns out that he was just calling a bellhop named Waa and in actual fact, two other brain-bots had checked in that week.

In the following strip, Bob and iBall jump on their beds in the hotel room. Thaddeus enters and the cyborgs think they're in trouble, but then he joins them.

In the strip after that, they ride on the subway, where someone spray-paints on Bob.

The following strip takes place that night, when Bob and iBall watch Thaddeus sleep due to being cyborgs and not needing sleep. Thaddeus tries to switch rooms but all the rooms are taken, so he asks for rope and duct tape instead.

In the next strip, Thaddeus is giving his presentation and Bob is admiring him but also observing that he has a booger on his nose.

The final strip of this arc shows Thaddeus being given a bill that includes $350 in movie charges. It turns out that after Bob and iBall were disallowed from watching Thaddeus sleep, they went to see 'Steel Magnolias' due to boredom and thinking it was a gardening show for robots.
