Zeno the Junkie Robot Boy

After drinking a carafe of wine from Palermos the other night (thought I'd keep it clean you know) I woke up from being passed out briefly and caught a freaky robot on TV . His name is Zeno.

I drew the picture of him, because I didn’t want to lift a picture and have someone saying that I couldn’t use their picture to mock something.

Good thing I’m a talented sketcher.

Why does the robot look like a junkie?

Who would buy their kids a junkie robot doll?

"I need more junk, that's why my eyes are dead and my mouth is happy. I can't go cold turkey. I'll get the shakes then I'll have to rob  you and I'm a robot, so guns and tasers won't work on me," freaky junkie robot boy.

You won't be smoking my color TV robot junkie boy.
