It’s been a rough couple of weeks for the Cornfather. First, he was terrorized by some creepy, crawly things, now it’s the furry critters with the sharp teeth he’s gotta watch out for. It’s becoming a veritable Wild Discovery show in that apartment, or at least an episode of When Birthday Presents Attack.
I can explain… IT’S AWSOME!!! Just like every other strip on this website 🙂
aww, thanks for that “awesome” explanation, ZeroKillJoy! 🙂
The expression on your face is priceless JefBot. XD I’d be totally pissed if that happened to me.
glad you liked jefbot’s expression, DJ. and actually, yeah, i’d be pissed if a clawed animal attacked my face, too. 🙂
Jefbot Proudly Presents:
Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Apartment!
Despite all of the arachnids -which I’m glad you’re done with (for now) – this has been a fun set of strips. Poor, poor Cornfather.
heheh. it’s true, Jed! when i was a kid it was a real Wild Discovery show at my parents’ house with all the hamsters, lizards, a dog and a cockatiel, not to mention us humans, living together.
…made me laugh! 🙂 I’m enjoying the whole animal series.
great! glad you like all the critters, #1JF!
Ha! Fantastic comic timing once again, Jeff! I love that the ferret automatically gravitated to the Cornfather’s face.
heheh. the Cornfather’s face must have some sort of gravitational pull for small mammals, Stan. 😉
I instantly thought of the Alien face hugger at the last panel.
funny you should say that Kevin – in my first draft of this strip, i was going to go with an “Alien” joke as the punchline but scrapped it for what you see here. 🙂
Wow – The Cornfather really has a way with animals!!! Great strip Jefbot…I love the blurred focus on the background elements. It looks so cool. You are amazing!!!
thanks, Jeff. animals must sense the Cornfather’s hatred for them.
Awesome! I love jefbot’s shredded jeans in the first frame. I assume Abraxas is still in his chewing stage. The way you hang things on the Cornfather’s person makes me laugh.
heheh. not Abraxas, Milas, jefbot just wears his jeans too long so they get shredded. we don’t see the bottom of his legs that often. 🙂
…and I know that The Cornfather loves animals to begin with… So funny! “…I mean wait, don’t go in there!”
yeah, the Cornfather, like Michael, doesn’t dig on the animals too much, funnyshaffer. 🙂
lol……..face meet ferret…ferret meet face…..now kiss and make up….lol
if owning a ferret’s illegal in some states then kissing one has got to be illegal somewhere too, JF3. 😉
Ow! That’s *gotta* hurt!
heheh. yeah, having a ferret clawed to your face has got to be all kinds of bad, reynard61.
Oh my! Jefbot is getting all racy now! I saw naked feets! Yet another amazing strip, and they just keep getting better and better! I laughed out loud at this one. Kudos!
i’m happy you got a lol outta this one, Spanky! and yeah, it starts with the naked feets, then the knees, maybe someday we’ll even see jefbot’s elbows. *gasp!* heheheh. the scandal!
Cornfather Facial ownage!
the Cornfather’s face did indeed get pwned by Abraxas, CheddarMan! 😀
Awesome!!! So funny….yet again, bot! I love the last panel so much. I’m so glad you know what will happen if your sister ever gets you a ferret. My face would stink for a month! :-p
then you better express to Linda exactly how bad an idea getting me a ferret would be, Michael!
So Funny!!! Explain Lucy…
heheh. “jefbot, you got some ‘splainin’ to do!”
Bot, I still haven’t gotten my comic-con bot-ton. 🙁 I’m sad
sorry, DJ! ran into a snag at the post office. you should get it before the end of the week. 🙂
lol…relax daughter-judy…mine hasnt come either. but thats what you get for being on the other side of the world
true, JF3; yours is gonna take a bit longer to get to you. let me know when you get it.
I’m just on the other side of the country it doesn’t take that long. T_T
give it a little more time, DJ! it’ll get there, i promise! 🙂
I’ve never seen a ferret do that….they’re usually so playful…almost catlike…except without the clawing and the biting…
what about the stinkage factor, Eptha? have you known them to smell bad?
i really like some of the subtle changes made to the art style in the past few months. Experiments in color and texture have resulted in more heft and more depth to the strip as well as a parade of spot on facial expressions that impress me with their nuance. Amazing work, Jeff.
thanks for noticing that stuff, man. sometimes those are happy experiments, sometimes they aren’t, but i’m always learning something from them. and since i don’t see myself ever being completely satisfied with where i’m at, i can pretty much guarantee the experiments will continue for as long as i’m doing what i’m doing.
Oh yes…they smell really bad…especially if you don’t get the musk glands removed…and bathe them daily.
Oh it’s exactly what it looks like…that ferret is humping your face!
And this marks the first time EVER that Jefbot has gone without shoes. Just thought I’d give you that for when, decades from now, the next generation of nerds- who, rather than slipping comics into protective sleeves, will be slipping webcomics into protected folders- start reminiscing on good ol’ Jefbot’s first-times.
