If I ever finally collect this entire series, I'm actually going to be sad; because finding issues here and there was a lot like a new episode here or there. From 2012, Bongo Comics Presents Futurama Comics #63, "Igner-ance is Bliss!" Written by Ian Boothby, pencils by Tone Rodriguez, inks by Andrew Pepoy.

Professor Farnsworth seems to have become young again--oh, wait, that's actually his son with Mom, Igner, dressed up as him for Halloween! Sure, it was July, but it's a nice thought; although his mean older brothers pick him up and steal his candy. No time for that, though, as there's a delivery to be made, to "Shangri-Linux? The Robot Pleasure Planet?" Yes! Since its atmosphere was too acidic for organic life, and since Bender couldn't be trusted to make the delivery himself; Fry, Leela, and Zoidberg are transferred to robot bodies for the trip. After the delivery is made, Bender shows them "robot thrills are like human ones times a thousand," and they're quickly sold. So to speak: Bender then discovers the sinister secret of Shangri-Linux, that Mom and her sons then wipe the memories of their robot guests and resell them!

While Bender is able to warn the others easily enough, they're too distracted by new robot pleasures like Voltroning to do anything. Luckily, Bender still has the brain transfer ray; which may come in more handy than he thinks.

With all the Pinocchio references in this one, I'd say put it on while you read it; but Futurama still isn't on Disney+? Aw, man.
