Nice to see both versions of Marvin the paranoid android in there!

RAAAAARRGGGHH!!!

 

Paranoid Android was a Radiohead song. Marvin was a manically depressed robot, not a paranoid one (despite being called paranoid by Zaphod).

 

Sorry, just a bugbear of mine.

 

Loki, that big black one behind Kryten is from a shitty Star Wars cash in called Starcrash. I remember thinking it was awesome at the time, as it had that bloke from Knight Rider in. And it was sci-fi. All sci-fi was awesome when I was young.

And they agree that "Marvin is afflicted with severe depression", and that "Marvin does not actually display signs of paranoia, though Zaphod refers to him as "the Paranoid Android." Nor does he show any signs of mania, though Trillian refers to him as a "maniacally depressed robot."

 

Manically / maniacally, though? Hmmm....

 

From the choices of robot in the picture, I'd guess the artist is English, which makes me a bit sad that Orac's not in there.
