MUG-BOT - A robotic coffee mug. Mug-bot is a small, white, box-y robot supported by 6 wheels on his base. He has 2 glassy-red eyes, a temperature indicator for a mouth, a hollow head to hold liquids, and only one arm on his left side to use as a handle.

Setting: John's House - Messy Kitchen - Morning

Panel 1 - Newt and John's kitchen is covered with mess. Pots and pans are filling up the sink, and dishes and bowls are on the counter. There are food stains dripping from the sink to the floor. John is standing near the counter on the left, holding a coffee pot and his white coffee mug. Newt just woke up and entered the room, looking exhausted. He's hunched over, holding on to his chair for support, before hopping up on the stool to have breakfast. John sees Newt and says "The house is getting Messy! After breakfast we should get this place clean!" Adding... "Newt, you take the bathroom... and I'll clean the kitchen." Still hunched over, with his back to John, Newt responds with "Ugh... Tell me later, after I've had my coffee."

Panel 2 - In a closer view, Newt has hopped up on his chair, and is about to take a sip from his coffee mug, as he glances over at John pouring hot coffee into his mug. He asks, "New mug, John?". John smiles at the acknowledgment, and says "Why, that's my latest invention!"

Panel 3 - Closeup on John with a big smile on his face, as he holds his Coffee Mug Robot up in the air with his left hand. John proudly states "This is Mug-bot!" adding... "It has a built-in motion-sensor tracking system!"

Panel 4 - John puts down the coffee pot, and places Mug-bot on the floor Near the base of Newt's stool. He tells Newt, "I designed it to follow me around when I'm working in the Lab. So, I'll always have hot coffee at hand!"

Panel 5 - John moves a short distance away to the other side of Newt's stool. Mug-bot follows him stopping right at John's feet. John proudly says "Pretty clever, eh?"

Panel 6 - John picks up Mug-bot and puts him on the table in front of Newt. Newt comments on what a waste of time this silly invention was by telling John, "We really need to find you a girlfriend." John doesn't look impressed at the comment.

Panel 7 - After John has walked away to the other side of the kitchen, Newt is about to take another sip of coffee when Mug-bot turns to Newt and whispers "Pssst! You've got to help me!". Newt nearly drops his own mug in surprise! He has a shocked look on his face as he realizes Mug-bot is alive!

Panel 8 - Closeup on Mug-bot, we can see what looks like his mouth, but it's also a temperature gauge with an arrow pointing to Red-Hot! Mug-bot exlaims, "Please Help Me! This coffee is SO HOT!.. Oh why did Master install pain circuits in my head!" adding... "MILK! I need Milk to cool my brain!"

Panel 9 - Newt grabs the milk carton and is about to pour it into Mug-bot's head just as John turns around and catches him, yelling "NEWT! What are you doing? You know I take my coffee black!" Newt looks like he's been caught in the act and stops, causing Mug-bot to cry out "OH THE PAIN! Please!.. I need more milk!!!"

Panel 10 - Leaning in close, Newt suggests to Mug-bot, "Why don't you just tell him?" With a worried voice, Mug-bot replies "I fear he will remove my brain! Adding... "I want to live!"

Panel 11 - "I must buy some time!" Yells Mug-bot as he resorts to drastic measures, by picking up a butter knife and holding it over his head to defend himself!

Panel 12 - John has slipped and fallen on the floor. His cereal bowl is upside-down and there are bits of cereal, and puddles of milk all around him. "OH GREAT! Thanks a lot, Newt!" Yells John, "Now I have to make another bowl of Oatey Rings!". Without wasting a second, Newt Points his finger at Mug-bot and says, "But John, It was your Mug!!!" Still on his back, John points to the butter he slipped on that is melting down the bottom of his foot and adds, "Right Newt. Mug-bot Magically came to life just to throw a pat of butter at me."

Panel 13 - Closer on Mug-bot, he offers a deal to Newt to keep his secret. "Shhhh! Spare my life and I'll grant you any wish!" Newt thinks about it. "Hmmmm." Adds Newt as he rubs his chin with a devilish grin on his face.

Setting: John's House - Bathroom - Late Morning

Panel 14 - Looking down at the inside of a toilet bowl, we see Mugbot standing in the pool of water, holding a large toilet brush in his hand... and scrubbing away at the toilet. He no longer has coffee burning the inside of his head, and his temperature gauge is pointing at cool-blue. He stops for a moment and asks sarcastically, "When was the last time you cleaned under the rim of this thing?"

Panel 15 - While standing at the sink, Newt turns and leans on the sink with his right arm. He looks down at Mug-bot who's poking his head out of the toilet bowl and says "One more complaint, and I'm telling John where you've been!"
