Synopsis

Matt (a boy) and Humph (a cat) are enjoying a Friday night in front of a good space series on the telly when Matt's undetermined parental figure calls to put Humph out for the night. Matt happily does so – through the fourth floor window of their tower block, with Humph landing in a dustbin.

Humph peeks out and then slams the lid shut on himself, hiding from a robot that has decided the bin is a probe, and that it must be taken away for inspection!

Notes

• Our American readers may substitute Matt's fourth floor flat for a fifth floor apartment.

Artwork and technical errors

• On the dustbin/probe, the robot says "I seem to have set off it's mechanism by the look of it!" That's the wrong "it's" – it should be "its".
