Creepy no. 104 (1979)
I don't like anything about this. Maybe the completely superfluous rope around the robot's shoulder. Why is the third "ROBOTS!" cut off, leaving the whole thing empty? Don't get me started on the robot's legs.

Today in Labor History July 18, 1934: “The American Mercury” accepted Emma Goldman's article, "Communism: Bolshevist & Anarchist, A Comparison.” However, it was not until a year later that it was published, in a truncated form, as "There is No Communism in Russia." Goldman had been deported by the U.S. in 1919, during the Palmer raids, and sent to Russia, where she lived with her comrade, Alexander Berkman, for several years. She was initially supportive of the Bolsheviks, until Trotsky brutally crushed the Kronstadt rebellion, in 1921, slaughtering over 1,000 sailors and then executing over a thousand more. After this, she left the USSR and, in 1923, published a book about her experiences, “My Disillusionment in Russia.” H.L. Menken founded “The American Mercury,” in 1924, and published radical writers throughout the 1920s and ‘30s. A change of ownership in the 1940s led to a shift to the far right, including virulently antisemitic articles.

The day of the moron, you say? Is the story set in the far-off year of 2025 by any chance?

Amazing Stories vol. 28, no. 2 (May 1954)
Love the image, love the lighting, real Magic Hour stuff. I really like that the robot apparently has no idea it's been found, it's still going about its business.
Maybe the robot is like those Japanese guys who kept on fighting WWII until 1975 because nobody told them it was over.
