The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Robotic Edition

January 2011

Day of the Robot is excited to be collaborating on a new project with the comedy writing team Diani & Devine.

In light of the recent news story where Mark Twain’s novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is being modified to use the word “slave” instead of the N-word, Diani & Devine are moving things a step further and replacing the offending word with “Robot.”

It is not an adaptation. Twain’s work will remain as completely untouched as possible, excepting that the character Jim is now a 6-foot mechanical automaton. This book will also feature modifications of the original artwork to include Robot Jim.

Any illustrator or comic book artist interested in having a book cover in publication? We want to hear from you!

The thrust of the project is to self-publish this rendition of Huck Finn and donate copies to as many school libraries as possible, so they will have yet another alternative at their disposal.
This project is of course intended to satirize the current book-banning situation in the United States and not to deny a beloved character his identity or make light of racism in any way.

 Diani & Devine will be reading excerpts from the robot version of Huck Finn at the San Francisco Sketch Comedy Festival.

Day of the Robot is proud to be creating an all-new limited edition maquette of Robot Jim, which will be offered as a pledge incentive for funding this project. So not only can you be a part of making this joyfully irreverent project a reality, but you can have Robot Jim to enjoy for years to come. He will stand on your shelf and remind you every day that you added something awesome to the world.
