“All right everyone; 10 minutes, and then it’s back in the non-articulated Robot and we’re on our way. Next stop the stars, so stretch your legs, take your potty break, do what you have to do, because I’m not pulling over again. Now, let me see if I can find some ice for this space cooler.”
The robot is somewhat rocket shaped. Perhaps the treads are the rolling launch pad and the trio is finding a good spot to take off. They probably will put shorty-third-in-line in the rocket by himself for the test launch.
The idea of the robot being a rocket is interesting, but I’m not so sure. I mean, there seems to be no particular purpose for the robot-tank. Unless it’s actually a really odd-looking RV, in which case I have to wonder why they didn’t put the hands on the same.
Oh, now I get it. This is one of those “evolution of man” things with a unique twist…though it’s a pretty big Darwinian leap from blender-bot to little green guy.
On the to-do list: First, Person Peculiar. He could do with a good old personning. Next, stop the stars. I don’t know what they’re up to but it has to stop. http://www.goodshowsir.co.uk/?p=7152
“Exciting stories of wonders in new worlds.” I guess the tag line is just letting us know you’ll have to go to new worlds to see these wonders, because we’re not seeing them here. At least the the man in the silver lame suit doesn’t see any, or he wouldn’t be trudging along quite so glumly.
Clearly one of those “Incredible Journey” type tales – their masters left them behind by accident when they moved to another galaxy, so they now must band together in a wacky interspecies bonding travelogue on their way to the stars.

Needs some punctuation.

Why don’t you relax and put your arms down, robot. Its going to be a long walk to the stars in this head-wind.

What’s the matter with Robot’s arms? Did they get one of them on upside-down?Why is one arm longer than the other?

The Hollywood tour of the future. No stars visible.

Little Green Guy seems to be enjoying the view on this otherwise desolate world.

I wonder if there is punctuation on the inside of the book.

I’m pretty sure, my amstrad food mixer was just like this ! Perhaps they are off to see the dragons in the den ?

One of them is upside down.

I wonder….is there a strong wind blowing or is her hair just wondering on its own.

Exciting tales of a badly-built robot taking pot-shots at the other characters on the cover

After completing that mission, the robot turns vigilante

My son wanted one of those robots for Christmas. I told him we couldn’t afford the amount of batteries it required.
August 18th, 2016 at 1:38 pm
I read : Next Shop, the stars. Giant promotions landing with rigid arms on a planet near you!

Maybe their star stop will look like the cover of “Consider Her Ways and Others”.
