All I can say is, it’s a good thing jefbot doesn’t have a Great Dane or a Mastiff as a pet…

How’s the Cornfather going to keep the ferret attacks down if he has tasty treats on his face like that? It’s almost as if he’s asking for it. Silly Cornfather.
Wonderful little hamster leap of faith you’ve got going there, super cute!
glad you like lil musashi, Foxmouse! he does look pretty tasty – kinda like a gummi hamster. 🙂
After the experiences I’ve had with hamsters I’m surprised Musashi didn’t take a bite out of Abraxas’ nose. This whole Abraxas series has been great! You keep me in stitches jefbot.
thanks, Milas! and as far as Musashi taking a bite out of Abraxas – you might just get your wish soon. heheh.
I love how perturbed the Cornfather looks in that last panel. JEFbot’s gonna get it!
the Cornfather’s definite reaching his boiling point, Zelos!
Excellent strip! I can’t stop laughing! That 3rd panel had me giggling! Gotta love Abraxas, (And his little teeth and gums.) even if he is being a meanie! (They have to be huge in comparison for, Musashi.) That little hamster “Eep!” was sooooooooo adorable. Musashi looks like he has a little hamster diaper or body suit on, (I know it’s just his markings, but it’s still cute.) and he’s so cute I could cuddle him all day! The last panel and all it’s elements really had me laughing out loud. Nothing like a cute Jefbot “Hey there, I’m innocent” smile to end another awesome strip! Kuuuuuuuuudos!
glad to hear you like Musashi’s markings, Spanky – i purposely designed them so that it looks like he has a little shirt and pants on (kinda like a panda), so your “body stocking” reference is right on!
I can relate to this one! I’m currently trying to bond 2 rabbits. You’d think it would be easy, but I have the wounds to prove otherwise!
tell me about it, Lagomorph – i used to have two hamsters that would get in cranky moods and go at each other on occasion. also, see my sister Xinda’s comment to you about her bunny-bonding experience below. 🙂
One day the Cornfather will have his revenge on all the small and furry creatures in the world. It will be sweet.
that’s probably true, Mandraco. and the whole, bloody event will be chronicled here in the pages of JEFbot. 🙂
Awww.. 😀
The sniffing/dissaproval expression on Abraxas in panel 2 is priceless. 😀
thanks, RinnaRainbowlicious! yeah, i wanted a little calm before the “SNAP!”
And of course later on I think of it.. but the title of this strip made me think of Lazy Sunday!
“mr. pibb and red vines equals crazy delicious!” and apparently, so does the Cornfather’s face, Spanky. 🙂
as soon as i saw that next-to-last panel my brain said “ooooh nooo” and it was like i saw the Cornfathers fate in slow motion. poor, poor Cornfathers face. =D
ha! i love how that scene played out for ya, Jed. 😀
Wow! I had no idea my comment from the previous strip was going to be so predictive — completely hilarious, Jeff! Poor Cornfather!
thanks! once again we’re on the same wavelength, Stan! 😀
eep!
eep! eep!
Poor Cornfather!
don’t feel too bad, Tony, i’m sure the Cornfather doesn’t mind sacrificing his face for humor. 😉
JEFBOT…these are SO FUNNY…I don’t even know what to say! I’m speechless!! I am anim-ALL-over-it!!! When are you coming out with the Abraxas stuffed animal?
ha! i always love your puns, JP. keep ’em coming! and re: abraxas – know any good stuffed animal manufacturers, JP?
Hey Lagomorph, becareful with your bonding gnawing mammals. My daughter & I had 2 bunnies & after they had been neutered (approx 6 months) I thought it would be a great idea to put them together, wrong! My bunny ran/hopped 5′ and grabbed my daughters bunny by the neck & ripped it open & scratched its eye, $200.00 and 3 staples later & eye cream etc. they still never bonded. But the worse thing was telling my daughter about the attack!
i remember that, xin. and people wonder why jefbot’s pet is so aggressive in the strip… 😉
So funny! Poor Cornfather!!! He just can’t get a break… P. S. I LOVE the “Snap” “epp” so great. Rock on Jefbot, and I LOVE the button too!
thanks, funnyshaffer! 😀
In some cultures, snorting Musashis is a delicacy 🙂
i think i saw Steve O snorting some on that Jackass show, once. 😉
Very Funny but poor Cornfather!!!
yeah, sometimes i feel bad about putting the Cornfather through all of these violent situations, Mary. but usually i just laugh maniacally. heheh
okay I really think the Cornfather will hate you eventually. Especially if any of these things happen in real life. I would hate you that’s for sure. XD And Musashi is adorable.
no, luckily, luckily, my sister Linda hasn’t carried out her threat of getting me a ferret in real life, DaughterJudy. *phew!* glad you like Mu!
The Cornfather looks like a prop from the movie ‘Bolt’ there. Poor Cornfather.
loved that movie, Nscafe! too bad this comic isn’t in 3-D.
LOL critter funnies. BOTton now?
maybe! you’re in the drawing, Tystarr!
Peace at this point is impossible your only hope is to train musashi to fight. Two enter one leaves.
i like the sound of that, Optimist! on second thought, i don’t know if i really wanna be the Michael Vick of webcomics, tho… 😉
Musashi just wants a kiss, Cornfather. Oh, who am I kidding! He smells blood and is going to eat your face. I know all about the food chain! I used to have a dog, cat and rat all at the same time.
ooh, a “dog, cat and rat” is a volatile combo, Anonymouse! hope they lived together more peacefully than the “ferret, hamster and human” combo in jefbot’s world.
Awww, Musashi’s so cu…oh, heck; who am I kidding? I’m just posting so I can get one o’ them nifty bottons! Great comic anyway, Jeff!
thanks, reynard61! you’re in the raffle!
Aw, it’s so cute. x] <3
Haha love Musashi
glad you like him, Nat! he’s jefbot’s own (pseudo) Pokémon! 😀
SO after Abraxas death claw attack, Cornfather recives Musashi hanging death attack… Told ya he is vicious creature! Control question: Does Cornfather still have a nose? Or face, for that matter? Anyway, I bet what you want that *Abraxas Abort!* will one day become akin to *We come in peace*,*May the Force be with you*, *Run Forrest, run!* or *Resistance is futile* in importance and widespreadness. I love the drawings especialy second pic and Jeffbot and Abraxas duo in fourth. Oh and I cant forgot to mention the circular badge-like pic you made for your 150 celebration announcement. Abraxas in that picture rules and it seems that Jeffbot actualy find a use for him as fashion accesory. Sorry Subculture guys.
thanks for the compliments, Maryz!!! if any part of this webcomic has some sort of resonance in pop culture, i’ll be a happy webcartoonist. and yes, the Cornfather still has a face, but he better protect what he has left. heheh. also, although jefbot looks to be wearing Abraxas as a fashion accessory, remember what happened the first time he did that out in public (JEFbot.137). 😀
(just in case commenting on the blog doesn’t count for the contest): In college I had a buddy who’s roommate had a ferret and one drunken night, we let it out of it’s cage…all I remember is waking up and finding it up my left pant leg sound asleep…thank god there was no…”snake” attack!!!!!
commenting on the blog does indeed count, TomC! but i’m happy to see your comment here, too. and as for your story – thank god there was no “walnut” attack, either!!! aaaghh! the brain (among other things) recoils just thinking about it. 🙁
Okay, while I love the strips with Abraxus, I just have to leap to the defence of ferrets. Abraxus is a ferret from hell! All ferrets I’ve known are nothing like him. Ferrets are cute, whimsical and can be well trained. It is true that the males can be pretty pungent and need regular baths. Yes, you can train a ferret not to bite. Nibbling now that’s another story. They can make for great alarm clocks. Have a friend over for the weekend, throw a couple of ferrets in his bed. They will head straight for the toes and that friend will be up in no time. Ferrets have two modes of being on and off. In the on position they are bouncy, bouncy, bouncy and running about crazy for play. In the off position they are fast asleep. dead to the world and can be used as a fashion accessory. There is no waking up a tired ferret. The downside of a tired ferret is that they will seek out any crevice or place behind furniture and go to sleep. They are next to impossible to find in this state. Ferrets love to torture cats. This is the best game in the world. They will drive a house cat up the bend by pesturing them, aka, when the cat isn’t looking sneak up behind him and nip at his hind feet (best done with a companion).
if Abraxas appears to be the “ferret from hell” it is because (as JefbotFan#300 points out below), he spent time with evil sister Xinda before she gave him to jefbot as a present. always good to hear the other side, though, since Abraxas’s antics in this webcomic are only meant for humor, not to disparage ferrets! 😀 sounds like your experience with these animals has been a lot of fun.
Haha–brilliant as always, Jeff.
thanks for the comment, Jeff! good to see you here.
Super funny, bot. Who knew you could get so much leverage off of animals attacking the Cornfather’s face. Hahahahaha!!! I love how you drew the action of the animals fighting. Great job, man. And the new Bottons are awesome, too.
i only meant to do the one strip, but this storyline has a mind of its own.
Says the ferret: MUSASHI IS FOOD!
So leaving comment posts on your strips/blogs to enter for the botton counts for all the june strips and blogs, right? because that’s what I’m assuming, and I’m going to go post on each and every one because for some reason I desperately want that limited edition botton…
thanks for playing, DarkWolf901! good luck on winning a BOTton!
BUTTONZ!!!!?!?!?! HUZZAH!
HUZZAH, Xias135! 😀
jeffbot’s face on the last panel is very funny…..also JohnL, Abraxus is a ferret from hell considering that Xinda’s the real master of it. keep up the good work jefbot…owh….and i’m commenting not for the BOTton…just as a fan…..but the BOTton is nice though…lol…….also Abraxus maybe attacking Cornfather because Cornfather looks like a hamster…see the similarity between the hamster and Cornfather?
Do you have more great atrlcies like this one?
if i could afford to give away a BOTton to all the jefbot readers i would, JF3 – especially you regular readers! hope you win one! also: you may see even more similarities between the Cornfather and Musashi in the next strip…
Button,button.Who’s got the button?
Also this strip was awesome,reminds me of my hamster and and gerbil who use to try and beat the snot out of each other.Took them ages to get along with each other.
always wanted a gerbil to see how they compare to hamsters, A.L. – glad to hear your animals ended up getting along with each other, eventually. and we’ll see who gets the BOTton in a couple weeks!
Oh man. Musashi is like a “living” water ballon. Bounces and bounces. So cute!! *LOL* Michale is gonna SNAP!! Heard my words! He really is gonna and when he does… *shudders and hides under computer desk* Just don’t say I didn’t warn you, ok?
you may be pleasantly surprised at the outcome of this one, Sonitan! you definitely won’t need to hide under your computer desk. heheheh. and it’s funny, when i draw Musashi, i generally start my pencils of him with just a “water balloon-y” looking shape to give him that bean bag look. 🙂
Takes me back to thoughts of my own hamsters … Pinky & Bam-Bam-Abraham. 😀
love the names, Anemone! “Bam-Bam-Abraham” is hysterical!!!
Hah, thhis site fills me with the warm fuzzies sometimes, and relaizing your hamsters name was ‘Musashi’ is one of them. Great times, and love the work. Please keep it up.
