Ahem. Actually, the January/February double issue of Analog appears to have been out for a while, and is already replaced by the March issue in some of the places I called. But "Exposure Therapy" by R. Emrys Gordon is in it, and has a gorgeous illustration by Bill Warren, with an actual snake-looking snake!

Asimov's I, Robot stories-and-novels. The Three Laws series. Specifically, in Caves of Steel, robots were sufficiently ubiquitous that they were being used as office boys and whatnot, but their names were prefaced with an R. He gets assigned a new 'partner' from one of the extrasolar colonies, and said partner turns out to be *R.* Daneel Olivaw instead of just Daneel Olivaw as he was initially told (and Lije Bailey was a massive anti-robot bigot). Hence is the substrate of a Buddy Pic laid.
