Load his bag with nuts until he bolts.

And the robot runs on sweets?

Maybe give it some batteries, or maybe some extra memory, just a little byte!

Don’t forget Bleep!

Run! It’s the Gunslinger from Westworld! ;D

He don’t need no stinkin badge…lol

Quick, honey, open up that bag of fun size 3-in-1…

Another great costume idea.

Great costume! Make sure you give him some full synthetic!

It’s only a matter of time

Hello bleeb where’s your candy bag

I see Bleeb’s going as an alien…

Did I just hear a Tardis panting in the background?

Under that is Yul Brynner

So this is it? This is when it happens? The Singularity? The great robot uprising? The day when artificial intelligence becomes supreme and machines take over and eliminate humankind?

Naaaaaaah! It’s just a weird kid dressed as a robot cowboy and a weird bug dressed as an alien!

“I’m here on behalf of the Smith twins who are home watching you on their computer.”

Honey. He’s so darling. Get him a can of WD-40 from the garage…..

Looks like one of Boston Dynamics creations.

Bleeb’s running the robot remotely , he can carry more treats

Actually, it’s a double costume. A Cowboy costume worn over a Robot costume.

There’s a new sheriff in town…

I’d pay to see that … at least two Mars bars and a peanut butter cup.

Duracell and energizer just ain’t cutting it anymore

Like all the robots today it is remote controlled, by same same kid who used a drone last year.

Daneel Olivaw?

Don’t forget Bleeb!

I’ve heard of space cowboys, but robot cowboys?! :)

He wants a lube job.

Hey, some day, this bit of comic fiction will be fact … sooner than we know … ;)
