1: “Bleep – no, that’s not my leg, human. To be frank, it’s my belknap – long.”
2: “Dang, tripped again!”

I’m intrigued by the superfluous “IT WAS THE…” Was he paid by the word?

I don’t care if it is in either story, these covers need a busty woman in a torn blouse instead of rope.

Looks more like the night of the robot than it’s day…

1. Nothing to see here but an 80-foot-tall hash-pipe smoking robot
2. Unfortunately the Galactic Supreme Court Dred Scott decision returned the robot to his owners.

1. “Look out! He’s got a tuning fork!”

Cover 2:. The guy swinging on the rope in the background: “weeeeeeeeee!”

1.) Tripod
2.) Trip odd.

I just realized that robot feet are not that difficult to draw. Robot genitalia, on the other hand . . . .

Robot #1: if people are shooting at you or literally wrenching your knee, and the whole forest is on fire, it’s not really your day. It doesn’t matter what that is you’re smoking.
Robot #2: flip-flops are not ideal for sprinting.

@Bibliomancer on #1: well, that explains why its apparent reaction [1] to people shooting holes in it and trying to mess up its knee is just “bro….”
(I was sort of wondering how they managed to attach those ropes (cables?) to its leg in the first place, but if it’s stoned enough…)
“Usain bolts”
A double pun! GSS, GSSC.
#2: I guess taking the elevator was too slow for Rope Guy.
[1] I suspect the artist couldn’t figure out how to do Dynamic Action with three legs. (The robot’s legs, that is)

Shivers go up…
…shivers go down.
Shivers go up…
…shivers go down.
See? SEE?? That’s how terrifying this book is!

Guy in front on #1:
“Woo! We’re gonna have plenty of scrap metal AND a giant bong!”

What beautiful green
eyeseye you have #1.Won’t someone think of #2’s owner being deprived of the opportunity to watch the latest episode of I love Lucy.

@Francis Boyle: a runaway robot is a problem, but a runaway entertainment center is a _crisis_.

@Bruce
You thought dropping your phone into the toilet was bad but that’s nothing compared to what the denizens of the retro-future have to deal with.

@Francis: Guess the guy swinging down in a hurry is hoping to stop the impending TV destruction.
Or at least get the robot to land face up so they can watch tonight’s episode of “Raket and Skibet”.

“Too late, they realized that Elon Musk had been building a giant killer robot all along, and the rocket had just been a smokescreen…”

@ARY: GSS!
