As mentioned earlier, nothing like the other two origin stories but the Rufus in this story is so weird I definitely get the sense he's an early iteration rather than a later reimagining.
Here is the US introduction to the Flook origin story. I assume there as some kind of instruction regarding cutting to the chase. As I mentioned a moment ago, the Rufuses are very different.
The old Rufus is much uglier. It didn't take long for him to get younger and less gruesome. The stuff published in the Flook and Moses Maggot book starts with the numbering 168, which suggests that it took, um, around 7 months to get to the Rufus we came to know. I suppose this also means that there's at least that long of the insufferable uncle, as well. We'll find out.
