Number 5 is SO Alive

45If you’re a glutton for the early work of Ally Sheedy and Steve Guttenberg (were they ever to reunite again?), you were probably curled up with your Popples back in the 80s, watching Short Circuit on VHS (or Beta). I know I was. A robot with a Christ complex? Golden. I’ve always enjoyed fan fic (WB shows circa ’98, cough cough, DIY Dawson soliloquies), and I’ve always enjoyed fan sites (don’t visit John Candy’s when you’re already feeling blue). Welcome, Johnny-Five.com. erAnd if you’re good with colored pencils, please try to beat this depiction of Stephanie & Five, gliding along to what’s most likely going to have to be Spandau Ballet. Or some synthed-out Wham. What was it about that manly tower of semiconductors? Even Chip Carson in Not Quite Human couldn’t pull it off (I much preferred Mr. Underwood in The Boy Who Could Fly).
