Bibliomancer Comments: I picture this is how it went down: Artist: So what do you want on the cover? Editor: Its called “Invasion of the Robots” paint me a robot. Artist: What kind of robot? Editor: I don’t care, any frickin robot. Later. Artist: OK, here’s your frickin robot. Editor: You’re fired. Artist: I quit. Editor: Oh yeah, well I’m putting this on the book anyway. Artist: Put my name on this and I’ll sue you. Editor: Idiot, you forgot you initialed it!

Published 1965

    Wooden robots may save a little money on the day you bought them but you have to buy another one six weeks later so it’s a false economy.

    Are there any robot monkeys in this book? Because I think that’s supposed to be a robot monkey . . . a really disturbing one.

    Robot is just looking for a better life for him and his family, so save your hate rhetoric for the GOP convention, Mr. Elwood.
