News Flash: Futurama’s Bender Sighted in the 1940’s 
This shocking picture proves – definitively! – that Futurama’s Bender Bending Rodriguez once traveled to the 1940’s, where he worked as a comic book cover model. Or was photographed during a heist. Or something.
He’s clearly inviting his pursuer to bite his shiny metal ass; also, note the somewhat enhanced size of his antenna. Does this show excitement? Or is it some sinister modification? And are those interesting tubes that lead to his head part of a primitive beer hat?
We have to thank Mister Door Tree’s Golden Age Comic Book Stories for this tantalizing glimpse into the time-traveling adventures of one of our favorite robots.
Hmmm…. please note, this robot’s torso is not cylindrical. In fact, it’s very anthropomorphic. And the mouth – are those air holes? Methinks this is not Bender R. Bender, but merely a coffin stuffer in a poor Bender disguise – clearly hoping to implicate Bender in some human female-kidnapping scheme.
The charade will never stand up under scrutiny, however, as it’s well known that Bender is less interested in kidnapping humans than his is in killing them. The true perpetrator will certainly be unmasked – and will be well and truly boned.

Naturally when I posted this I understood that hordes of Bender Defenders would materialize out of the woodwork to “prove” his innocence; but, really, whatever crime he was committing here must be long past its Statute of Limitations.
Is it possible to ignore the fact that the victim is clutching her valuables/liquor behind her back? It’s clearly a robbery. And what police sketch is accurate enough to catch the subtle tubularity of a torso? Just look at them beady eyes. I dare you.
