Howdy, cowbots!
Far Out is a Science Fiction webcomic: The Wild West WITH ROBOTS!!!
Our main character is wandering in the desert, with no memories, and wondering even how he knows that a vulture is called a vulture. As other robots arrive, they are quite certain they know that he's Bukley, and that it's reason enough to take him prisoner.

Tropes included

- Color Wash: the color palette is all tinted toward ruddy orange.
- Deliberately Monochrome: Desaturated, and shifted orange

- Glowing Eyes: On a lizard.
- I Work Alone: "I love solitude"
- Loss of Identity: The central robot considers what he wants to become.
- MacGuffin: The missing star on the memoryless robot
