History of the Robot

I get quite a few nice comments about the "robot" logo. My friend, Jon, drew it a number of years ago at a summer camp. I volunteer there every summer, and I used to take my inventory and ship postcards during free time.

Jon and his friend, Henry, used to pick on me, as you can see from the drawings below. Playful most of the time.

The so-called third eye on the robot is actually a mole that I never knew I had until Jon accentuated it in the drawing! The portrait of me is actually pretty accurate.

Jon and Henry have grown now, and I've hiked in Alaska and the Grand Canyon with them. Jon and I and his dad hiked a Colorado 14,000-foot peak a couple years ago.

Jon still wants royalties for his drawing!
