AGAIN. | Machine Age Cartoon

Five-panel Zimbo cartoon: a doctor implants a dish-grown brain into a robot at a piano; a stern conductor snaps "Again." as a brain in a bowl drives the keys; an organ cooler stores a heart, kidneys, and a spare brain; and an orderly wheels a tagged, sheet-covered body past, a cat trailing. — Zimbo for AI News Page

A harvested brain keeps practicing after the body is wheeled away.
