"ah" and "uh" are interchangeable for "ar" "er" and "or" sounds depending on neighborhood, how long you have lived in the area, and the speed of your voice. "Pahk the cah in Hahvahd Yahd" is total bullshit. Real Boston area accents are in "bublah" "Medfuhd" "rivah" "cruisah".

Ghanima Atreides:
I just had another thought: I wonder if these "limits" and "constraints" Spookybot mentioned have anything to do with being quantum-entangled with a black hole....
Welu:
The last panel made me laugh, I could hear the intonation so clearly in my head. I'm intrigued to see more Spookybot but would also find it amusing if this is all we see of them.
