Roderick: Vol 1

IN A SMALL, TOP-SECRET LABORATORY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNETONKA...A NASA-FUNDED PROJECT HAS CREATED...

Roderick, the Robot---brainchild of Dr. Lee Wong---a real, complete, functioning, artificial boy.

Now after long, lonely hours in front of the television, Roderick has learned English, and the ways of the world. Now he is ready to meet Ma and Pa Wood, his elderly adoptive parents---and embark on the kind of adventures that would make any red-blooded kid sit up and take notice.

Soon Roderick is warming a barstool at Larry's Grill, playing doctor with a precocious nymphet, getting beaten up in the schoolyard, and banished to Holy Trinity to learn catechism---and some manners...

But what more can a blue-eyed space robot expect in a world where nothing makes any more sense than prime time TV!
