Lio by Mark Tatulli for March 09, 2019

what could possibly go wrong?

Lio must really have made a friend!

Great name for the School. Harryhausen Elementary where kids make Stop-Action Figures in Art class.

We come in peace.

Harryhausen elementary, eh? Makes sense.

…love who the school’s named for…

This will teach him a very good lesson – never do anything you don’t want to read in the newspaper the next day.

My Buddy, My Buddy,

Wherever I go, he goes,

My Buddy, My Buddy,

I’ll teach him everything I know

My Buddy, My Buddy,

My Buddy and me!

I think he misread the sign. It says “make” friends, not “build” friends

At one point, the robot yells “DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!” Hilarity ensues.

Sam Waterson: I’m Sam Waterston, of the popular TV series “Law & Order”. As a senior citizen, you’re probably aware of the threat robots pose. Robots are everywhere, and they eat old people’s medicine for fuel. Well, now there’s a company that offers coverage against the unfortunate event of robot attack, with Old Glory Insurance. Old Glory will cover you with no health check-up or age consideration. You need to feel safe. And that’s harder and harder to do nowadays, because robots may strike at any time.

Can you swap out those claws for something with less teeth?

Awww…

But, but, Lio just did what the sign instructed him to do. He constructed a friend. I think it’s quite fitting for Harryhausen Elementary’s “Let’s Make Friends Week”!

Is that a transformer?
