''Argo'' is the first published short story by Rick Griffin, creator of award-winning webcomic [[Housepets (Webcomic)|Housepets]]. Taking place in the distant future when androids outnumber humans, advancements in artificial intelligence is intentionally stifled by heavy government regulations. When Mira, an ambitious and disillusioned engineer, stumbles upon a shockingly advanced android, she begins to learn more than she ever could have imagined about artificial intelligence, and herself.
 
The story explores themes such as balancing fear and progress, the nature of intelligence, and what it means to be human.

* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: {{spoiler|Humans. After the war, anyway.}}
* [[Robot War]]: Happened before the events of the story. The humans came out alright, though, and still seem to be cool with androids as long as they're heavily regulated. Making them cute and cuddly doesn't hurt either. {{spoiler|Or so they think.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Tomato in Thethe Mirror]]: Mira is an android and so are most/all other humans.}}
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Most androids are designed to be [[Furries Are Easier to Draw|anthropomorphs]] to avert this trope.
* [[Wham! Line]]: {{spoiler|When Mother opens up Mira's wrist.}}
