In our modern society, thinking has become like work , so to save us from all the drudgery, we present Cerebro (hey, why do anything if you're not paid for it!!), 

This now concludes the July Month of Robots & Mechanical Monstrosities.

Today we present that lovable 'bot, Q1-C1 from the classic SF/Fantasy film NEBULA CONFLICTS (1978)

No-Nos of Science

Is this not what scientists have dreamed of since the dawn of civilization?

YES!  The head of a proboscis monkey surgically attached to robotic body, and speaking with the voice of Jimmy Durante!!  This is what it's all about, people!

The Next Phase

Joust With A Junk Pile

Entry #4 of the July Robots.  I guess this Bot brings the "Neckless Goon" idea to it's logical conclusion.

1925 Automated Lint Picker

A 1924 study commissioned City of Chicago determined that one of the chief concerns of the population was the hazard of pocket lint.  In the early-to-mid 1920s, there had been a major increase in cases of Spontaneous Human Combustion (SHC) which experts had theorized was the result of an overabundance  of dry, flammable lint jammed in coat, jacket, shirt and pants pockets that, when subjected to the constant friction of daily activity, ignited the clothing of the unfortunate victims.

In 1925, one H.C. Breem, engineer/inventor and owner of a small machine shop, developed his Mobile Automated Pocket Lint Extractor (MAPLE), which he hoped to sell to city governments, the plan being that the devices would trundle about the public ways cleaning the lint out of citizens pockets as they waited for street cars and elevated trains.  Unfortunately, during demonstrations, the automaton seemed much more adept at picking wallets, loose change and bills out of pockets than the targeted lint.  This of course resulted in massive orders of the machine from local and state agencies as well as the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

Robot Month Begins

For July, I thought I'd post a Robot/Mechanical Monstrosity cartoon each day (or at least try to get one posted every day!).

This one, like many of my cartoons, I drew in my sketchpad while riding the El Train to work:
