A few useful tips concerning your free sticker!

Synopsis

A sweet little rhyme tells you the do's and don'ts of where to put a Transformers sticker: not on your rear end, as people will laugh at you; not on your teacher, as you'll be placed in detention; not on your school bully for fear of violent retribution; instead you should wear it yourself as a proud Transformers fan.

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

Decepticons Humans
  • Transformers fan (2)
  • Chortling people (3-6)
  • Teacher (7)
  • School bully (8)
  • Smitten girl (9)
  • Envious geek (10)
  • Proud parents (11)

Notes

  • This strip was made to tie in with the Galvatron badge that came free with this issue. Lew Stringer does his best "swipe" of Geoff Senior's artwork for the badge. The subsequent issue would feature a strip in a similar vein.
  • Presumably due to the lack of robots, the contents page for this issue calls this strip "Not Robo Capers", and it ran without the regular Robo-Capers logo.

Errors

  • Stringer didn't get the memo that the free gift was a pin badge, rather than a sticker. Pinning a badge to teacher's forehead or the school bully's nose is especially ill-advised.
  • Being a proud Transformers fan is considered attractive.
