Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for September 19, 2012

Why couldn’t Nagisa Furukawa of “Clannad” and Shiori Misaka of “Kanon” think of that? (The coming to school via robot part.)

Rayna was the the attractive android in the original Star Trek episode, “Requiem for Methuselah”. Rayna Kapec was her full name. (Capek was the last name of the Czech writer that first coined the term ‘robot’ in the 1920 play, “R.U.R.”, btw.)

This was done in “The Big Bang Theory” a couple of years ago. Sheldon Cooper figured he wouldn’t get sick or injured if he sent one of these bots in his place.

Better than a bubble.

there was a tv series where a doctor used one because he was home with the flu he could still work from home the other doctors always hid behind it so he couldn’t see them it was funny

Wow. Combination of girl and vehicle. What a boy trap. (He likes her headlights.)

Thanks for the info Baldo.

Did the strip skip ahead a couple decades? There isn’t anyone sending a robot to school in their stead – distance learning using virtual classrooms does that for the cost of a desktop computer and internet connection.
