I Robot

Do you know this face? Probably not. But the whimsy in his features should have never been hidden. I watched him on TV every week during the 60's with my brothers. We had toys of him. And I so wished I could have spent a few hours doing what he did so well. And to bring joy to kids and adults along the way.

His name is Bob May and he died today.
You know him better as Robot.

RIP
