The Legend of Danbo

From days of long ago
from uncharted regions of the universe
comes a legend.

The legend of Danbo
Defender of the Universe.

A mighty robot
loved by good
feared by evil.

As Danbo’s legend grew
peace settled across the galaxy.

So Danbo was fired.

Danbo had kids to support.

Danbo got a new job.
Vacancies for Defender of the Universe were few.

Danbo developed a drinking problem.
Can’t … reach … straw …

Danbo started another bad habit.

It was a dark time.

Danbo got introspective.

Danbo realised the importance of family.

Danbo reconciled with parents.

Danbo desired change.

Danbo looked forward to the future.

But others did not forget Danbo.

They remembered and paid tribute.

Danbo
Defender of the Universe.

“Märklin has made a name for themselves by making high quality trains and other toys for more than 150 years, so their declaration of bankruptcy on February 4th came as a bit of a shock.”
