The final spot illustration for “The Big Green Guy” article in Starlog #180, July 1992. Reminiscent of my childhood watching Godzilla and other monster movies on Saturday afternoons. I was really into building models and always marveled at the massive amounts of models in the movies.

Robots from left to right: Alien mechanical life-forms from “Batteries Not Included” (1987), Twiki from “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century” TV series (1979–1981), Number 5 from “Short Circuit” (1986), Muffit, the robot dog from “Battlestar Galactica” TV Series (1978-1979), R2-D2 from “Star Wars”, Drone from “Silent Running” (1972)
This cartoon is based on the TV show “Time Trax” that ran from 1993 to 1994. The main character was Christopher Lambert, a police officer from the future tracking down fugitives in 1993. He was equipped with a computer that he interacted with via a holographic woman. Here she has been replaced with the hologram of Arnold Rimmer from the TV show “Red Dwarf.”
This cartoon is based on the “Highlander” TV series that ran from 1992 to 1998. The main character, Duncan MacLeod, is the relative of Connor MacLeod, the main character in the “Highlander” movie series. They are Scottish immortals and feel other immortals when they are nearby which I equated with feeling queasy. The woman is Tessa, Duncan’s mortal companion. If you’re not familiar with haggis, it’s a Scottish dish consisting of sheep’s heart, liver and lungs, with onion, oatmeal, suet and spices, usually stuffed into an animal’s stomach. Yummy!
