I learned this particular technique of waking people up from – surprise, surprise – my sister Linda, who would wake me and my other sister Laura up by putting ice cubes in our beds while we were sleeping. Needless to say, it worked. Find out next Tuesday how well it works on ferrets and hamsters.
WIN A FREE BOTTON!

Wow! you guys are evil! How coudl you do that to two little animals…especially while they sleep!
heheh. sorry, Matt. sometimes funny trumps evil. 😉
Jeff – you’ve got beautiful art and lots of funny in your strip. Well done! I like the thick outlines around the characters and the painted backgrounds. It really makes things pop. Keep up the GREAT work, my friend!
wow, that’s high praise coming from you, Krishna. thanks!
OOoOoOo you two are just evil incarnate! I would think maybe a tickle of a feather on the foot, or ear.. but a bucket of ice water.. daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! And I had the same look on my face (as Jefbot and Cornfather do in the 2nd panel) when I saw the first panel.. but my head was tilted and I was actually “awww”ing. Once I moved on to the second.. I was laughing out loud! Had to pick my jaw up off of the floor after I read the third. Me thinks the animals will retaliate against Cornfather and Jefbot. Be careful!
the sequence of your reading process and emotional response from panel to panel was very descriptive, Spanky – and exactly what i was hoping for! your final caution is definitely warranted, too. the Cornfather and jefbot better be careful, indeed. 🙂
Spanky, Im all with you girl! Though I actualy hope those two devil emisaries will get whats comming to them. By the way, I would think that Cornfather would be happy to have Abraxas sleep for a while… I didnt think he was suicidal.
adding to what i commented to Matt above, sometimes funny also trumps common sense, Maryz. but you’ll be happy to know there’s a good-to-great chance that the Cornfather and jefbot will get what’s coming to them. 🙂
The first panel is adorable. I think you should make a desktop out of it. I would totally support that. ^_^
thanks for the feedback, Katie! wallpapers have been on the back burner for some time now, but i hope to have at least one or two designed in July. if i don’t make a wallpaper out of it though, don’tcha think it would make a cute BOTton?
The second panel is the best. Cute animals (humans count as animals after all) *evil laugh*
But both Michael and Jef are asking for the fires of hell. Man, I agree with Maryz… I never thought Michael was suicidal!! You guys are evil and deserve the wrath of the savage furries!!
*laughs evilly while getting more ferrets and ninja hamsters*
i’m in total agreement with you, Sonitan: as funny as it is to douse cute animals with ice water while they’re sleeping, jef and corn deserve whatever retaliation they get should they go through with it!
Wouldn’t Musashi, y’know, drown?
Has the Bot learned nothing from his run ins with Xinda and his action figure debacle with the Cornfather. This will end.. poorly.
true that, eleventeen: jefbot and the Cornfather definitely did not choose… wisely.
oh, and you may be happy to know that there’s a chance of an Indiana Jones reference in tuesday’s strip, if everything goes according to plan.decided the strip was redundant so scrapped it.I see hillarity and hijinx ensuing…and pain…lots of pain…for jef and cornfather…….can you draw that much blood and dismemberment and still keep a family rating??
heheheh. definitely not, Hans. i wonder if anybody would protest an age gate on the strip, should the artwork get out of hand… 😉
another winner!
thanks, skinny! 😀
Funny! You almost had me! I had totally forgotten about Linda’s wake up calls! 🙂
i’ve tried to forget, Mombot, to no avail. 🙁
I actually used to put the ice cubes down jefbots undies, until mom okayed the lock on his room. jefbot screams are the best! Laura’s are good too.
the ice-cubes-in-the-undies are one reason why i’ve tried to forget, Xin. also a reason i wear a chastity belt to bed every night.
I love the hopeful sparkle in their eyes in the second panel. In some countries, Musashi is a delicacy! 🙂
if not prepared correctly, Musashi can sometimes result in paralysis and even death in some cases. 😉
That second panel is so cute! Jefbot and the Cornfather look so innocent, while their brains are hatching evil plans. XD
you got that right, Zelos – never trust the Cornfather’s or jefbot’s shiny, innocent eyes!
i wanna see what happens next;)
check back next tuesday, blizatrex! same bot time, same bot channel!
“Leave Abraxas and Musashi alone!!!” <⁄Chris Crocker mode>
P.S. I tried to comment on Tuesday’s comic. When it didn’t show up, for whatever reason, I tried sending it again and got this:
“Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!”
I then sent you an e-mail (on your monsteryou.com account from the “Contact” page) describing the problem, but you apparently never got it.
i’m sure the Cornfather and jefbot will soon wish they had left those two alone, reynard61! and sorry about that email snafu, glad things seem to be working okay now.
You two are PURE EVIL! Even I wouldn’t do that to two animals, even if they ARE rodents (or at least in my mind they are. 😛 )
ha! sometimes jefbot just can’t resist the dark side, Ploute!
Wow. Late post on my part… distracted much. They look so cute in the first panel. You finally got them to cooperate/live with each other and you want to ruin it for your entertainment? Kudos to you XD
ha! glad you understand, DaughterJudy. 😀
I found your page yesterday afternoon and I swear, every moment of my free time (including too many should-be-sleeping minutes) has been spent staring at the screen, exploring your archives and clicking through comments and links. Your work is fantastic! I think I am a bit obsessed! I love the coloring and texture on this one! I’m so sad for the beautiful little snugglers though…
i’m happy you found my webcomic and sincerely appreciate you clicking your way through the site, Jadeybug! you’ll find the community here quite vocal and friendly (just see eleventeen’s comment below) so feel free to leave comments and hang here anytime. 🙂
As a self-appointed greeter, let me be the first to say, “Welcome, Jadeybug.”
🙂
can i officially appoint you, “master greeter” eleventeen?
Cornfather and Jeffbot are gonna be in a world of hurt…
i think that’s a pretty safe bet, DarkWolf901. 🙂
Evil! I LOVE the eyes in the last frame! This is a great story line! Excellent job as always Jefbot!
gracias, funnyshaffer!
Interesting coloring effect in the first panel. What is that, a layer blending mode or something? Give to me your art secrets!
And, frankly, I wouldn’t cheese off something that’s small enough to leave raisin sized doodies anywhere they wanted, but that’s just me.
glad you found it interesting, Foxmouse! and yes, i used a layer blending mode – “overlay” to be exact, along with a texture and a brown line (instead of black) for my inks.
Now that’s what I’m talking about….hahahahahaha!!! Great strip, bot.
glad you dug it, MC. 🙂
Michael… really man, you’re evil. Don’t you dare complain about ferret-face-attacks anymore!!
we’ll see how much he complains after the next two strips, Sonitan… heheheh.
Glint of red in their eyes in the last panel… nice touch!
thanks, speearr! yep, they got the evil in their eyes.
ahahha…sorry for the late post…my home and office internet copnnection went bonkers…..love the angelic eyes and devil eyes on both of cornfather and jeffbot in second panel and the third panel…..perfect capture of an evil plan going down…lolz….kinda remind me of myself…..
