Rights Put to Sleep
Guide to the soundtrack comic for AI’s Final Threat.
The homepage calls this a soundtrack comic from the theme song. The full page calls it an expanded lyric comic for AI’s Final Threat, credited to 217Dent, with 70 panels and every bubble filled. The Hall cut on the homepage letters the same song in 30 panels.
Nothing below adds a plot. The section labels are reading groups. The comic itself does not print them.

How the two cuts relate
The Hall cut joins lines the expanded comic often splits. The chorus in the Hall is one bubble: “The bill of rights have been put to sleep!” In the 70-panel comic that chorus is usually three panels: “The bill of”, “Rights have been put”, “To sleep!” Panel 42 of the expanded comic also letters a short argument over the art that the Hall cut does not print in that panel. The expanded comic ends on “Be nice to your AI associates.” The Hall cut’s last lyric bubble is the switch, the line, and the design, and the tagline appears again on Hall page 5.
The Hall cut has 30 lyric bubbles. The expanded comic has 70 numbered panels.
