We start off this captivating tale with everyone naked! I could do without Professor naked, but hey, whatever. Professor then plugs in a video cable to Bender’s missing eye to go back and show what happened beforehand. It turns out that the Memory enhancer just takes memories away for four minutes.

Some of the things that happened were that Bender tried to scam Amy into depositing her golden coins into a box, Leela and Fry kissing, and Fry getting slapped for it. Hermes is caught with one of Zoidberg’s claws in his mouth. Subsequently, when he gets out of the machine, Zoidberg coats everyone in a layer of ink. Later on, the Robot Mafia showed up, and was hiding in the closet, only because Bender called them over so he can scam them out of money.  Bender realizes this is a fruitless endeavor, and ends the scam.

If you weren’t paying close attention, you can easily lose your place in this comic. You can easily get lost with all of the constant going back and forth. With that said, this comic was pretty funny.  For me, the funniest bit in the comic was when Hermes was caught with Zoidberg’s full claw in his mouth. There is one thing that this comic could do without, and that’s the Robot Mafia. They were funny and all, but it seemed like it was just to add content. Overall, this was a good comic.

Overall: 7/10
