Meet Boris--a gentle robot equipped with curiosity, ingenuity, and the ability to mix the perfect martini. Designed as an integral part of a "house of the future" known as ZUkUnfthaus, this recreation specialist finds his programming insufficient when the future is different than expected. Boris distracts himself from anxieties through dancing, cocktails, costumes, pillow fights and road trips. BORIS: ROBOT OF LEISURE is a graphic novel that blends retro-futuristic science fiction, mid-century cocktail culture and silent comedy into a timely and surprisingly human story of one robot's pursuit of happiness and fulfillment. Set in our post-atomic age, BORIS: ROBOT OF LEISURE reflects the reality of the early 21st century--society has abandoned space-age novelties like robot helpers and fully automated homes, leaving Boris and his ZUkUnfthaus as relics from an unrealized future. The world of The Jetsons never came to pass. But then, Boris has more fun than their maid Rosie ever did.
