Today’s strip marks the introduction of Kurtis Bedford, one of my best friends and a fellow actor, into the world of JEFBOT. You can call him K-Bed. For sure you’ll be seeing him, his wife and son in future episodes.
The way you can tell this strip isn’t entirely based in reality is that Kurtis is holding an iPhone. There’s absolutely no way he could even touch an iPhone more than a few seconds without breaking it, due to his monstrous hands. If you’ve ever seen the hands of the Thing or the Hulk in comic books, that’s what we’re talking here, and that’s where this strip bends a bit closer back to reality: the proportions of his hands to his body are pretty much accurate as drawn. Seriously, his fingers resemble french toast dips. His hands resemble Easter hams. Also, they are hard and calloused, and he has been known to hammer nails and punch through walls with them. It’s true, I’ve seen it.
So funny because it’s believable! 🙂
That is so funny! As cool as the iPhone is, photo’s are fun! … I love that you refer to the kid as “it’s beautiful…” Always funny Jefbot! Rock on!
Psh, And I would have let you play with my iPhone 3G for as long as you wanted.
Yum, french toast dips….
You could never do Kurtis’ hands justice as they would have to encompass the entire panel, blotting out Jefbot and the sun. He looks awesome!
Hmm
I would have known him from the bowling shirt…since high school, when his fingers were just little stubby kid’s fingers, like McNuggets…
JEFbot! So funny. Although it is a touch shameful that a piece of electronic equipment would be more appealing to you than a baby. But then I guess a piece of electronic equipment can’t spit up on you and you don’t have to change it’s dirty diaper at 3 o’clock in the morning.
As usual, love the expressiveness of Jefbot and his love of technology. Pearl, I love french toast dips, too.
So true! K-Bed would never have an iphone- not only due to the fact that he and cell phones don’t co-exist in a functioning world (how many broken phones, Kurtis?), but the touch of his finger would select every icon on the screen, rendering the iphone confused and useless. However, he does have a really cute kid, so I suppose that makes up for it. (My nephew said that he could carry a toothpick to select options on the screen… of course, assuming he didn’t crush the toothpick.) Love ya K-Bed!!! You are the crepe master!
