Welcome to JEFbot’s 150th strip! To celebrate, I’ll be doing some giveaways and special offers next week. In the meantime, check out today’s strip, which closes out the current “Masters of the Universal Remote” storyline (which started here), and be sure to return on Friday for a JEFbot first: a strip swap with the guys over at SubCulture!
HAHAHAHA! Jefbot has such a look for determination in the first panel, in fact it reminds me of my son when he’s trying to do something that takes all of his concentration. (He sticks his tongue out just like that.) Awesome job on the second panel and the dramatical hands! And hooray for Abraxas making another appearance, little teeth and gums and and all! *round of applause*
Also, congratulations on strip #150!!!!!
i’m sure your son is *way* cuter than jefbot when making the “determined” face, Spanky! heheh. and since you like Abraxas, i’m sure you’ll totally dig friday’s guest strip.
thanks for the congrats on the 150 strips!!! 😀
What a SORE loser, jef! XD Riiiiiiiiiiight, you finally learned how to use it. Blame the “evil” ferret. LOL
So, the 150 strip, huh? Then you deserve 150 smacks *evil laugh* I’ll get one of my brothers for that. Congratulations!
isn’t there a saying that, “if you can’t beat it, then have the ferret destroy it” or something to that effect, Sonitan? 😉
150 smacks! aagh! this time *I* run away!!! heheheh.
Congratulations on the 150th! It seemed so far away when you started! I enjoyed them all, even the ones that featured players and references totally out of the realm of my recognition. 🙂 You make us proud!
awww… thanks, Mombot! 150 did seem like a far off number when i first started JEFbot about a year and a half ago (can you believe it?), but in many ways, it seems like it didn’t take much time at all. 🙂
I love the Jordan-esque tongue of concentration in the first panel. And I’m not sure I’ve ever mentioned how damn clever your titles always are. I can’t think of one strip in #150 I haven’t thought, “heh… clever bot. clever.”
big thanks, eleventeen! i love coming up with the titles and do put thought into them, so it’s glad to know they’re noticed. 😀
i am still waiting for my MOMBOT t-shirt.
that is all.
oh yeah, congratulations!
hmmm… i’d love to do a limited edition Mombot tee sometime, skinny. good to know there’s some demand for it out there!
150! That’s all?!?!?!?!? Bot, you may have to step it up a bit. 😉 Seriously, congrats on 150 of the best strips online! I love how you ended this universal remote storyline. Your face in the last panel is priceless!
thanks, man! and i actually would like to “step it up” but two strips a week is already taking up all my free time!
Love love love. ^_^ poor Abraxas being the tool of your revenge T_T oh well
XD
heheh. thanks, DJ. jefbot might as well put all that pent-up ferret aggression to good use. 🙂
Fantastic! (And not a bad idea!!)
PETA might have something to say about that, JP. 😉
you offer Cake and Ice Cream on twitter, I get here and all there I get is peanut butter on a remote? tasty? yes. satisfying? yes. Cake and Ice Cream? I think not.
(congrats on 150 btw)
thanks funnyshaffer, i really appreciate that. 🙂
Congrats on 150!!! Each one has been better than the last… I love your ability to take day to day events and make them laugh out loud funny!!! … beautiful color and style too! P. S. love your sweet and salty destruction of a universal remote… now maybe my lights will stay on!
hahaha! true, it’s not cake & ice cream but remote+peanut butter = two great tastes that taste great together, jh3! and i’m good for the desserts, you just gotta make it to l.a. before strip #151 gets posted to claim them. 😉
Haha! Nice one 😛 Love Jeffs face in the first panel 😉 Now blow out the 150 candles..
thanks, TadBot! the candles are out and i just made a wish, now let’s eat some cake!!!
Wow, I bet it’s been a great ride so far. Here’s to another 1500 comics! All good even if you’re not a gamer (like moi). BTW your sister and I should start an assassin business together…I’ll cover the East coast all the was to St. Paul, MO. She can have the West Coast.
thanks for the anniversary wishes, Nissa! and i might not have as much time to game as i used to, but i’m definitely still a gamer! oh, and i’ll pass your idea by Xinda and see if she’s down for some co-op assassination bidness. 🙂
Jeff, subtle you are not…
Also, congratulations on your sesquicentennial of strips! (Look *that* up in your Funk & Wagnalls!)
what’s not subtle about a ruse to trick a pet ferret into destroying a universal remote so as not to lose face for not knowing how to use it, reynard61? …okay yeah, i get your point. heheh.
and thanks for the congrats on my sesquiten, uh, setques, sestues – what you said.
😉
OMG thats an expensive remote to destroy…bad abraxas…also, congratulations with the 150th strip…time goes by so fast these days….sigh…keep up the good work …..may you always grace us with jeffbot’s crazy antics…
live long and prosper
gracias for the congrats, man. time definitely flies by too fast these days. i fear i’m going to blink and be on strip #5000 (actually, that’d be kinda nice). 🙂
Congrats on the 150th strip, and a great update today! When I saw the first panel, I thought Jefbot was gonna eat the remote control himself!
when i reveal jefbot to be an actual robot, him eating a remote will actually make sense, speearr! 😉 thanks for the congrats!
Congratulations on 150!! I’m really looking forward to your SubCulture guest strip too as I just started reading that strip and enjoy it.
it’s about time, dude! i’ve been singing SubCulture’s praises for a while now; it’s awesome!!! 😀
Woo hoo! #150!!! Ain’t it sweet?!
John, I’m glad you enjoy SubCulture as well! I hope you enjoy our contribution to JeffBot on Friday as well! It’s Stripswap Friday, baby!
woo-hoo! STRIPSWAP FRIDAY! can’t wait, Stan! John’s been a friend of mine in L.A. for (has it been 5-6 years now, JK?) a long time, and i know he’s gonna love the SubCulture guest strip. he’s actually met my family! heheh.
If that ferret keeps eating electronic devices he’ll be more machine then animal, and you know what’ll happen next? That’s right, another Transformers movie, “Beast Wars.”
Abraxas: Maximal or Predacon?
Happy 150~!!
ha! i would welcome a Beast Wars movie, Foxmouse! i used to love that show!!! and you’re right about Abraxas: i think he’s been getting way too much iron in his diet, lately.
🙂
Congratulations little Bro!!! 🙂
arigato, big sis! 😀
Congratulations Jefbot!!!! Poor Abraxas – having to take the blame! Funny!
thanks, Mary! Abraxas doesn’t mind… 😉
Nissa, you mentioned Jefbot is ‘not a gamer’ in your comment… whoever told you that is a damn dirty liar. He definitely plays him some games.
Speaking of… Uncharted 2 Beta?
i appreciate the vouching for my gamer cred, eleventeen! and: “YES!!!” as soon as my copy of Infamous gets here… which reminds me – Halo Wars arrived, and i think we need to get our RTS on. soon.
Grats on the 150, and sorry for my not having been around for the past week or so….moved and today was the first day I had internet back.
Great strip…love the whole “let the ferret chew up the crappy remote” thing
been wondering where you’ve been off to, Eptha – hope your move went smoothly and glad to see you back!
This is a classic one, Jeff!
We just had our 150th yesterday. The strip swap is going to be a lot of fun. JEFBOT did a great job on ours, so come over and have a look (and leave a comment, too!) at midnight tonight. And let us know here what you think of our take on JEFBOT.
thanks, kev! congrats on your 150th!!! wow, our strips really are in sync with each other! heheh. and i can already tell you: i LOVE your take on JEFbot, and the Abraxas/Xinda fans will love it, too!
jeff…can i get your permission to link your site from my blog?
of course, man. link away! and send me the address, i wanna check it out.
“uh… bad ferret…” *cornfather leaves the room* “Good ferret!” can’t you just imagine that?
Now if only jefbot could teach him to attack intruders, while screeching the the spider man tune! :3
