On a few occasions when I was a lot younger, I tried giving gifts I really wanted to family members in the hopes that they wouldn’t like them and give them back to me or that I could pilfer without much notice. The problem is, that almost never works. Fortunately, last week I got my mom a couple of videogames for her birthday that I thought she’d like, and she didn’t make me return them so apparently I’ve grown up a little. 🙂
Ooo, bejeweled! I hope your mom had an awesome birthday 🙂
i think she did, Shan. we had lots of food and cake!
Luckily for me, my dad plays pretty much any FPS with co-op, so I can do that.
that’s awesome, Wyvvs! my dad tried playing Sea Battle and Major League Baseball with me on my Intellivision and hasn’t been back to videogames since (unless you count video poker on his laptop). 🙂
you are becoming your mother.
my mom rocks.
Not “Left 4 Dead”?! 😉
heheh. baby steps, Stan. baby steps. 🙂
I don’t even have a PS3 yet, but I will steal Killzone 3 from your mom if I see it in her house!
uh-oh. i won’t be taking my copy over there then, Sean Luke!
OMG… So funny! I love your reaction in the third frame! You continue to deliver on excellent story lines and awesome graphics! Rock on Jefbot.
thanks, funnyshaffer. that’s really cool of you to say!
Can’t wait to play Bejeweled Twist! 🙂
we’ll see if it’s as addictive as Bejeweled 2!
I’m with funnyshaffer on this one: that s**t-eating grin is hilarious! I hope Mombot had a wonderful birthday and has many more just as wonderful!
thanks for the birthday wishes, r61 – i’m sure my mom appreciates ’em! glad you liked that grin, too. heheh.
Bot, that’s as bad as giving kitchen utencils and pots on mother’s day! XD You deviant! Hope mombot enjoys all her gifts this year!
i wouldn’t stoop that low, Sonitan! who do you take me for? heheh. and yes, so far, Mombot’s enjoying her gifts. 🙂
Well at least you didn’t make it painfully obvious like Tim Allen or something. Honestly, what kind of person gets their wife or mother a power sander for their birthdays? Silly man.
Although, I wouldn’t mind seeing what Mombot would get Jeffbot if the tables were turned. *snickers*
good idea! i’ll have to ask my mom that question and post it here or in a future strip, Foxmouse. 🙂
How adorable is MOMBOT?!? I love this strip! Super funny, bot! I love everyone’s facial expressions. The best part is how Mombot understands geek speak. Now go out and get her something that she wants like “The Godfather” series on Blu-ray. 😉
heheh. she understands geek speak when it involves the words Bejeweled, Tetris or Peggle, Michael. 😉
3rd panel expressions are way awesome! Cute strip, Jefbot! (Ahhhhh I got my Jefbot webcomic fix finally!)
heheh. but apparently, not sly enough, JF3! 😀
OMG..that is just so sly….lolz…too bad my mom n dad arent game players.
ha! glad you’re back, Spanky – i’ve missed your early posts!
LoL great strip Bot! I can’t really say anything that everyone else hasn’t already said though 🙁 Ah well…I remember doing something like that to my sister once…or thrice….
heheh. yeah, “thrice” is about as many times as you can get away with it, Eptha. after that, they catch on. 😉
^_^ My birthday is today the 16th XD I got three different pokemon games because I love pretending I’m 12 again. ^^;;
happy birthday, DaughterJudy! hope you had a good one! and yeah, i’m the same way with the pokémon games – you know they’re giving away an exclusive pokémon (regigigas) at toys r us, now through march 21st if you bring in your diamond or pearl ds game? i’m going to try and get mine before i go away for the weekend. 🙂
O_O That is awesome… now i need to find a toysrus O_O I’m playing sapphire, leafgreen, and diamond all at once. Its kinda fun, but I’ve put waaaaay too many hours in. DX
Jefbot needs to stop giving Mom videogames. She’s now looking for Bejeweled Twist playmates.
