”MIGHTY ATOM (ASTRO BOY) | ROUTE 66 ROBO” by Sean Danconia

Danconia’s love & admiration for the wildly imaginative anime universe of The Godfather of Manga himself—Osamu Tezuka, is married to Route 66 Americana and a never-before seen Astro Boy adventure—all viewed through a Japanese Showa-Era lens.

Route 66 Robo features Tezuka’s Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atomu)—standing outside a Sinclair-inspired Gas Station based in part on Route 66’s awesome Gay Parita Sinclair station. Instead of fossil fuel, Danconia has Astro pumping himself up with the ever-sustainable liquid Matcha (Japanese Green Tea)—a nod to Back to Future’s use of Coca Cola as fuel and Green Tea’s deliciously nutritious life-giving reputation. (o_ _)ﾉ彡☆

Storyline: Astro Boy’s nemesis from The Greatest Robot On Earth, Pluto, is in the process of breaking the Matcha Green Tea pipeline which Astro’s using for fuel—so as we see the image, we’re mere seconds from a Tsunami of Matcha enveloping the entire scene, pushing Astro into a life and death struggle with his nemesis. For the frozen-matcha moment though, we enjoy a beautiful picture-perfect scene in fictional Tezuka Town USA (somewhere on Route 66 between Barstow and Victorville, California).
