Ah yeah. Woosh...there goes the joke!I understood the pictured character was wondering what would be like to be human or to look human, not that the character itself was human. Like all those jokes about aliens or robots assuming very logical things (to them) about humans that are absolute giveaways that they don't think like humans. In those jokes the robots or aliens are typically trying to camouflage as humans and fail.
