Monty: Hey, E.B. - it's time for breakfast... it's... E.B.? E.B.? Noise: Rrreevv rrrreeevvvv... Monty: Your battery died... Robot: I think I forgot and left my rear defogger on overnight...
Actually what I heard was there was a legal issue with the rights to the Robotman name/character that was signed over to a syndcate. Once the author moved on Robotman was written out because the creator of the strip could no longer use him. eh, Not sure if its true, but its what I read somewhere…Of course I could be thinking of something else.
It does look like EB is morphing back into Robotman though, slowly but surely. Though I must admit I find his love of the vaccum kinda creepy.
He’s gone through a lot of bizarre, sci-fi roommates just to get back to another version of Robotman. First Mr. Pi. Then that talking chimp. Then the time-traveling professor that EB accompanied…

Well, we can’t have rear all fogged up now can we?

I guess it sounds better than a butt defogger.

EB’s charged and ready for his tryst with the vacuum.

I had hoped feared E.B. was dead! But only his battery was dead, and Monty took charge of its re-charge!

I’d keep my rear defogger on too, if I was Monty’s robot

Why did Meddick get rid of Robotman if he’s going to eventually get Monty a new Robot?

And just what were you doing young man, … E.B.? To have had need of your rear defogger last night? Is there a need for a little sit down talk?
