Monster of the Day #3482

My apologies! I just noticed this is probably NSFW. I think that robot is…smoking! Sorry!!

Happy Friday Eve, everyone. About one week away from T-Fest. Wheee!

    I choose to believe this is an illustration for “Love at First Sight.”

  • Sure, make jokes about smoking. That poor robot probably died of cancer.

    I dunno. Maybe this is a touchy subject with me. My little 2XL robot died of smoking. Sure, he was on fire at the time, and no doubt I didn’t hit “Q” fast enough ( he was rather insistent), but he was smoking at the time he died.

    That’s the important part.

    Slightly more seriously, when I saw NSFW I spent a good couple of minutes looking at that cover wondering what was NSFW about it. Then I read the rest of the paragraph. Serves me right for not doing that first…

    “The Electric T*t” I am offended and or need new reading glasses.

  • Beckoning Chasm

    “Mincing into Battle” would be a better title.

    Funny how we have to be warned that we might see people smoking, presumable for the sake of children, yet other worse deviancies are celebrated and encouraged…

    Oh rats, Michael Gambon. RIP.

  • Eric Hinkle

    So, American pulp magazines were doing mecha and giant war robots a la’ Robotech decades before Japan did?

  • Ken_Begg

    Yes. Funny.

    Anyone who hasn’t seen The Singing Detective, hunt it down. It is terrific.

  • I haven’t seen it in decades, but portions of it haunt me to this day.

    Ahh, 2XL. Such sweet childhood memories.

    That gives me an idea, Ken. How about another run of monster toy MOTD when you start running short on comic book covers?
