Know that the only thing preventing my sister Linda from booking Ted and I on a skydiving flight for our birthdays this year was because, after finding a cheap company with such flights at Costco(!) of all places, she found the company went bankrupt due to a lawsuit alleging wrongdoing and negligence, before she could buy the tickets. Now, first of all, when looking to jump out of a plane at 14,000 feet so as to plummet to the ground at 115 mph, the last thing I want to do is find the company that’s going to make that happen on the cheap. In fact, like most people, I’d pay more to increase the odds that I’m going to survive once I exit the plane. Second of all, why she wants Ted and I to celebrate our birthdays by having a near-death experience seems to defeat the purpose of the celebration. Needless to say, birthday festivities were taken out of Linda’s hands and now we’re going to celebrate by doing something less dangerous, such as dinner at a restaurant, like normal people.
Happy Birthday, Ted!
YAY!!! Happy Birthday, JEFbot and TEDbot!!! And welcome, Ted, to the crazy animated world of your bro-in-law. You look fantastic for a 50 year old cartoon. 😉 I really love this one Mr. Bot. It makes me feel like you guys are really 30,000 feet up in the air, jumping out of a plane.
I have a fourth panel in mind, though. It’s Linda holding both of your chutes in her hands as well as a pair of scissors. Ha!
Great job once again, man.
Happy birthday!!!!
you guys are finally getting the message! i love you lilttle bro, happy happy birthday 🙂 ps. cornfather for your b-day, i have something special planned for you….
oh jefbot, i’ve ordered blowfish for you and teddy…at our normal dinner, celebrate!
Shes trying to get rid of everyone!! Sometimes I don’t even make it through the foyer.
First of all, Happy Birthday!!! Second, and I know that I say this almost every time…. However, you’ve really out done yourself!!!!! I laughed for a minute straight! Jefbot, you rock!!!! I love the color of the strip. I also love how you captured the pure stupidity that men fall victim to so often! LMFAO!!!!!
Whew! I got off lucky by just having a meatball shot at me!
So funny Jefbot! I love this one!!! And I am a huge fan of the manual focus on the last window…it looks so cool. Great job!!!
That last panel is gorgeous. Yeah I would worry about your sister too…she is a secret agent assassin after all! Happy Birthday dude and good luck with the new publishing schedule!
Happy B-Day!!! I love this one and I gotta wonder what you may have done to your sis as a child – Hmmmm!
Laughed and laughed! Love how you told this story, because some of us know that it’s True! HappyBirthday, Jefbot and Tedbot!
tedbot is handsome, he looks like magnum pi. i hope he makes it to 60.
I love your graphics, the last panel looks so cool. I feel like I’m jumping too.
I, too, hope Ted makes it to 60. How he’s made it this far is anybody’s guess. This is an hysterical strip, but so close to the truth it’s really not funny. Love the focus, as everyone else has mentioned. Happy Birthday to you and many more…
Hmm…I like your sister’s style! hehe. Happy birthday, ‘bot!
michael cornacchia, thanks, man. if i ever go missing, you know who to point the police toward.
