Robotman isn’t coming back! I keep posting on it… but of course, it’s late in the day and no one reads it.
Universal owned Robotman … he was a childish, chubby cartoon character designed to market kid’s videos and merchandise….. but it didn’t sell well.They hired Meddick to draw a comic strip about him…Meddick gradually made it into an outrageous and grown-up strip….Universal then “retired” Robotman (sent him to live on a far planet) and let Meddick spin off Monty.Eventually Monty acquired a new robot pal, EB.

I kinda sorta think maybe that’s cheating, E.B.!

EB HAS to cheat to feel loved…. his girlfriend kinda sucks.
OK, there’s some electricity there…. but he’s pretty much feeling his way in an emotional vacuum.

You have to have an odd number of petals, leaves, etc. for it come out “she loves me”. Unless you start out with “she loves me not”

When I was a teenager, I pulled a daisy and said: “I turn him off, I turn him on…”
