    Retro-Futurist Postcards for Wall-E

    Comic book artist extraordinaire Eric Tan created these 1950s style postcards as promotional materials for Wall-E, Disney/Pixar's new wacky robot adventure. I love how they perfectly illustrate a conflict that promises to be key in this flick: the ultra-leisure society of the humans versus the junkyard-dwelling garbage robots who do nothing but scut work.

    There are three more postcards in the set. Collect them all! [Kung Fu Rodeo] Or visit this freakish Wall-E tie-in site, allegedly belonging to Wall-E manufacturer Buy n Large, which does an eerily good parody of marketing speak at consumer robotics companies.
