What does /m/ think of Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot?
Due to the Captain Underpants movie coming out, this other book from my childhood popped into my head a couple of days ago, so I want to know if anyone else has read it.

I think Johnny Sokko gonna sue somebody.
>>15356648
Yeah, thinking back I think the entire reason this happened is that Dav Pilkey smoked too much weed one day and watched some Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot, then thought "Y'know what this needs? MICE."
>>15356647
Huh, I've known about this for a while, but the similarities to Giant Robo never struck me.
That being said, Mighty Robot is okay but not stellar. Pilkey's got a pretty good sense of humaor, and though my memory of the books might be failing me, the Mighty Robot books struck me as having a bit less of the wit of Pilkey's other work and they were much more straightforward. Still fun, though!
While we're on this subject I'd like to say that the Turbo Toilet 2000 is pretty cool for what is essentially a giant mecha-toilet

I loved these as a kid. Those page flips > any anime
And Mighty Robot would kick THE FUCK out of any gundam, no question

Oh, yeah. Forgot about him and the Incredible Robo Plunger. Apparently they're in one of the new books-- I haven't ready any of the four post-hiatus books.

Yeah, looking back on it, Mighty Robot is definitely a Super Robot, no question.
Mighty Robot can kick Demonbane's ass

Shit, you hit me right in the childhood man. Used to own the third book and read the fuck out of it.

Those were fun.
