Larry is my favorite Doom Patrol character because he's literally just some guy with a cute/cool costume that gets put in various situations like a little Barbie Doll

[ID: Illustrations of redesigns of the Doom Patrol. Robotman, Negative Man, and Elasti-Woman standing in a lineup. Robotman is stanced with his fists up and a denim plaid vest on with a transmitter clipped to one side. There are old stickers stuck and scuffed up on his legs. Negative Man is bundled up in a thick wool-lined jacket and a red and white sweater. Lastly, Elasti-Woman is wearing a neat almost knee-length red and white dress with white gloves and tights and purple boots. The next image is a close-up of them all standing together. END ID]

Do people post this sorta stuff to tumblr?

In your piece on Gernsback, you touched briefly on Robert Crane, the first Robotman.

I'm wondering if Cliff Steele, the second Robotman, was in any way connected to him, or if it was simply a matter of a similar situation and a codename that no one was currently using?

(I am aware that Mr. Steele prefers to be addressed by his birth name from a brief appearance on television back when we first learned about the Doom Patrol.)

First of all, yea, I often wonder about how one is meant to refer to the members of the Doom Patrol these days too. Out of respect I usually lead with their birth names, just like you did. So no big.

The answer to your question is: Yes*. See the asterisk is always the interesting part.

*As I said in my original post, the post war life of Robert Crane is mysterious, probably on purpose. He vanished a few years after the war (though his original career was among the longest of his era, not dropping off the map until 1950).

Through comments from his teammates and attendance lists from Squadron reunions conducted in the decades since, we know two things.

He's still alive.

He was transferred back into a human body that was not his original one, we can assume he is living under that body's given name.

As with any other superhero's right to privacy, any attempt to "track down" Crane's current whereabouts and activities is explicitly against my field's code of ethics.

That being SAID. Niles Caulder, for all his faults did manage to masquerade as a legitimate scientist during his early days and in the medical paper he published about the operation that saved Cliff Steele's life we find this.

"Special commendation is given to Dr. Robert Crane, without whose expertise and consultation this operation would have been impossible. My sincerest thanks to him, who knows so well the second chance Mr. Steele has been given."

Now "expertise and consultation" could mean anything from "he answered a single question he was asked." to "he was literally in the surgical room with Caulder, helping the operation"

Him suggesting the Robotman alias is doubtful, neither Crane nor Steele seem overly fond of being saddled with it but we know that, somehow, he was connected to the operation. Any relationship of the two men beyond that is pure speculation.

Bad Girls came up in my playlist, and I just knew I couldn't get it out of my head until I drew the Terrible Dr. Tyme ⏱️ Had a lot of fun playing with a bit of a cooler color palette 😁

I just started reading "Children's Crusade", the first book with Edwin and Charles after their introduction in the Sandman.

This introduction by Neil Gaiman helpfully explains the crossover of this comic story, Vertigo as a comic company, and how the boys are related to Doom Patrol through it.
