There’s some really great material here. Ranxerox has been reprogrammed to dance like Fred Astaire in a big stage production in New York by the man wearing the bondage mask and tuxedo combo. The actual stage set that he’s dancing on looks like a record player, complete with massive arm that can be used as a weapon – if someone on the stage happened to be a psychotic robot with a tendency to fly into a jealous rage. The backup dancers are not just topless, but they seem to be wearing a disk that looks like a vinyl record over their crotches – and no panties.

There is also an interview with Liberatore in this issue, which revealed that he doesn’t actually write the Ranxerox material. Accordingly, the credits for this feature have been updated to include the name of the lesser known writer – Tamburini.
