Synopsis: Ape-man is driving gigantic male robot and a
voluptuous girl a female one. They are mining, while one of robots
gets malefunction on female robot.
Comment: Corben's own story is only marginally SF; it
is made for male magazine and it is visible. Bodypainting is
wonderful. There is no actual need for censorship, because only
female body is shown naked. There exists some rewritten parts
during chancing handwritten text into printed: in the end (B&W
version) last two quotes, "I think it was a short in the
sublimation curcuit" is turned to "I think it was a
short in the sublimator circuitry", and "Can't you
make it last longer?" to "Oh yeah? You'd better stop
leaving those copies of MECHANICAL BREEDERS GAZETTE around in
the hanger." There is also in the color version a signature
"Corb" in the opening frame, not in B&W version.
