Author Notes:
Cleo's uncle Tarik would be able tell her exactly what was wrong with these robots.
The manufacturer of these things may well be Timmy's ToyCo - they have quite a history with malfunctioning toys, after all...
But aside from this robot, you can see that this shop also has some more interesting old stuff to offer...
(Thanks to MST3KFan and Chippewa Ghost respectively!)
User comments:
And what's the giant glowing cube?
Well, actually, the idea was that it is just some kind of fancy decor lamp, with constantly changing color patterns that are interesting to look at.
I still don't think I'd want it in my living room, though. Which is probably how it ended in this shop in the first place!
(Here is a clue: A quote by the writer in question can be found here, in panel 2...)
And I really don't trust that cube, Multi-colored glowy things are bad news (sorry for the borderline hijacking, self-promotional link).
E.g. the evil clock in panel 3.And I don't mind the borderline hijacking - I mean, a very heavy AB reference will come pretty soon anyway. ;-)
(The couch died of loneliness because nobody wanted to have such a gaudy couch...)
(Sometimes, I mean.)
My Mom told me once that he did that because he had health issues with his liver.
Only, I can't find any reference to that on the internet (not even as debunked urban legend or something like that) - so it's entirely possible that my Mom just made that up herself. X-D
Makes me wonder if Elliot Maerc's you-know-what will sooner or later also reappear in a store like this one...
