As Fark put it "In honor of ...the greatest special in TV history, here's Hey Ya Charlie Brown"

I almost forgive you for the crack you made about Dave Cockrum dying in his Superman pajamas. Almost.

And Mark? While you're in Muncie? Behave yourself because there's new sheriffs in town and one of them's Ponch.

To salute Mark Evanier being in my neck of the woods today and--well, my neck of the woods, here's a video:

I just read on Mark Evanier's blog that artist Dave Cockrum passed away this morning due to complications from diabetes. He was 63. As Mark noted, he made the transition from fan artist to pro, leaving his mark of Legion of Superheroes and helped shape the X-Men when the team was revamped in the mid-70's with Wolverine, Colossus, etc. He will be missed.
I take comfort in the fact that my words and deeds helped him in the twilight of his life to make it a little better, and shame that I didn't do more.

Here's a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade float for you:

To answer your questions:
1)Yes, that is Robocop
2) Because his animated series was part of Marvel Action Universe, a 90 minute block of repackaged Marvel Superhero cartoons that was a big a travesty as this float (but it was the '80s, about the only thing for Marvel we had back then), and
3) I have no idea why he turned off the electric thingy that was zapping Dr. Doom.
