Behind the Scenes
A running gag between myself and one of my friends, my friend Jason made a Parody Commercial for the Zapbots and recorded it to my Answering Machine. In the dialog, he said 'With such epic characters as Boaty! Flier! and Thing with Four Wheels you can't go wrong!' Finally decided to draw Wheels after many years. Jason drove a 1989 Mercury Marquis in college so decided to Zapbotize his car.
