Awww. They bring Musashi with them! That’s adorable!!
Huh?! Am I the first post?!!! *faints*
Lets hope Jef doesn’t kill himself! You know, electricity and water and all that jazz? Ah, so Michael now remembers why he doesn’t drag jef out as much.
Excellent strip, jef. Can’t wait to see how many problems you’ll cause this time *LOL*
you = first, Sonitan! and yep, Musashi’s along for the ride in this one. let’s hope jefbot keeps his extension cord away from the water. heheh. i think it would definitely put a damper on the party. ๐
Sweet thing about is that Musachi is also wearing sunglases, could be RayBen sunglases like the Blues Brothers got^^ (but anyhow I expect something awkwood to come up soon… like Musachi is suddenly drawing his tiny version of Reich Gรคrt as a magazin of his little hamsters paintball gun and shootin’ everyone ._. “the time of reich gรคrt returning” (so this would be crazy and musachi wouldn’t be cute anymore…)
yep, Musashi’s little eyes are sensitive Ion, so he definitely needs the sunglasses! ๐ and call me crazy, but a tiny, hamster-sized Reich Gรคrt spray can for Mu sounds pretty cute to me. if memory serves, i believe Xinda still has the human-sized version, which is not so cute.
Im sure jefbot is going to go out more often. Its not fun only for you, you know.
Musashi in a ball is great, still stylish with sunglasses.
I hope that Jefbot will end up in water at least once, it would be a shame if he were to just geek it out by the sea without actualy tasting salt. I hope his electrical equipment will survive though.
glad you’re having fun with jefbot’s outbound adventure too, Maryz! i don’t think i’ll keep Mu in that ball for too long though; he might just fry in there. ๐ and for whether jefbot gets in the water or not – i aint telling. ๐
hi! in the 1st panel it looks like (musashi the hamster) doesn’t have sunglasses – then has them in the 2nd panel. BOLT! ps. wouldn’t it be cool if we put jefbot in a bubble ball…
some other readers got to this before i did (see below), xin, but Mu is actually wearing sunglasses in that first panel. he’s just turned a bit so you can’t see them as well. look again. and if you kidnap me and put me in a bubble, at least throw my DS and a few games in there with me, please. ๐
the sunglasses are there, if you look closely you can see the ear pieces and the VERY thin lenses as you see them from the side…makes me want to go to the beach…
thanks for pointing that out to xinda, Hans, since i was late in responding. and i hear ya about wanting to get to the beach soon. do those goggles you’re wearing have uv protection!?
ROFL. My brother is like ‘Bot. He needs some form of electrical dependence at all times. We lost power for a week last summer and he moved in at our Aunts house. Me, I can be amused with a pile of books and a pencil and paper. Great strip ‘Bot
your brother sounds like a cool dude, DJ! mombot’s always asking me what i’d do during an extended power outage. i think i could occupy myself with “books and a pencil and paper.” at least for a little while.
I love all the details you put into the strip. the palm trees to the umbrellas and the sand plants. the seashells and power cords as well as the birds too. Gotta love how Musashi is all ready to go with his hammy ball! JB in his regular t-shirt and jeans at the beach? Eesh! Is he at least wearing sandals? ๐ You would figure with an iPhone, and an iPod that would be enough for JB, but I guess there’s a lot more to it then that. Looking forward to Fridays strip, and what hilarity it will hold. Again love the details in this one!
thanks, spanky, glad you liked the details! and: nope, jefbot’s not even wearing sandals – it’s sneakers all the way, baby! heheh. and you’re right in deducing there’s going to be a lot more than an iPhone and an iPod to power. heheh. you’ll find out what i mean in the next strip. ๐
panel 1 = glorious. wow, Jeff.
i think that’s the first “glorious” i’ve gotten to describe the strip. thanks, dude!
i see the hamster sunglasses in both panels, bot. ๐
ps. all that electricity is going to give jefbot ball cancer.
thanks man, i let xinda know. ๐ and growing up around electronics has provided jefbot with an immunity to the bad ball rays.
Way to stay “plugged-in” Jefbot!! Your fans wouldn’t want to miss one strip — they are too good!!! ๐
ha! thanks, JP! jefbot gets really “plugged-in” in the next strip. ๐
OMG! I LOVE this weeks! The color is amazing… It makes me want to be there so bad!!! …and I think it’s even better that you could care less… All you want is your tech set up! Outstanding job Jefbot, I’m always happy that each week tops the last!
seriously, Funnyshaffer – all these beach strips are making me bummed that i haven’t been at all this summer! my illustrated counterpart gets to go, but i don’t. sad.
WOW!! Love this! and that first panel is beautymous!!!!!
and that’s the first “beautymous” this webcomic has gotten, too. thanks, Mary! ๐
I’m digging the change of scenery, Jeff. Sorry we didn’t see you at San Diego. Next time, hopefully!
yes, next time definitely, Kevin!
Just had to say… what a great view! It’s beautiful! ๐
thanks, Mombot! glad you liked the view. ๐
Ah, tech people, care alot less about nature, more on the computer and games, the joys of it all!
i do like playing video games about nature though, Zach – Ecco the Dolphin and Pokรฉmon Snap! were fun. ๐
LOL, everybody is commenting scenery and I realised that I forgot to mention ship that looks like aircraft carier in background, I know its cargo transport, but still, the resemblance is there.
that could very well be an aircraft carrier in the background, Maryz. maybe the Navy knows something the characters don’t? hmmm… ๐
Wow, another gorgeous strip! You’re art just keeps evolving and evolving. Really beautiful!
thanks, jk! i’m trying to keep it evolving! ๐
LOVE the artwork here. Also, funny strip. I’m a fan.
awesome! thanks, D. Long! ๐
I hope they remembered their sunscreen…..
the Cornfather remembered, Shan. ๐
Hi again, BOT! I return to posting my awkward comments on your comics.
Just don’t call it a come back.
Why do I get this feeling that the moment JefBOT removes any clothing all surrounding areas will burst into flames due to the blinding white light that is his un-tanned bod?
welcome back, Foxmouse! glad to see you here on the site again, we’ve missed you. ๐ you might be surprised – since he’s only 50% caucasian, jefbot’s skin isn’t as pale as you’d think it would be from him spending most of the time in his dark lair and away from the burning light of the sun.
JefBOT goes outside his apartment…wait there could be more? And I will enjoy looking at the new strips with an extension cord running through each of them… So clever and beautifully done! ๐
domo arigato, Anonymous! you’re right – we’ll be seeing more of that extension cord in the very near future. ๐
LoL @ Foxmouse I’d have to agree with that assessment….I’ve actually had that happen to my un-tanned hide….Just kidding, but I do think there were some people and small animals that were rendered blind by the sight ๐
ha! jefbot might not be ghostly white underneath that shirt, Eptha, but the Cornfather definitely is. maybe that’s why Musashi’s wearing those shades? ๐
This is gorgeous, bot! You’ve really transcended the comic world in this one and have moved to Van Gogh. Just gorgeous, man. And I love how you still keep that jebot humor alive with bot searching for an outlet. Tremendous work, man. Oh, and I totally see the sunglasses on the animal in the ball in the first panel, too. B)
wow! thanks for the huge compliments Michael! i’ll try not to cut off an ear… heheh.
Hey neato palms! And coconut trees? I love this beach. It’s also funny how Jefbot is kinda overdressed for the beach.
yep, no tree discimination allowed on this beach, speearr! and yeah, apparently jefbot doesn’t own a swimsuit. ๐
I really hope you make a story when there’s a power cut, or some sort of electricity ban in thier area… Jefbot’s reaction will be truly priceless (hey! he might even turn insane!)
it’ll definitely be a storyline i’ll explore, Trevory: “jefbot: unplugged.” heheh. not just yet, though.
Trevory, I dont doubt he has some emergency backup generator stored somewhere.
very true, Maryz. very true.
Real guys power there beloved computers with LOVE. el to the u to the vi! So you don’t need generators! (despite that jefbot still got Musachi who might be able to power up anything by running the wheel “hell yeah”)
hmmm… maybe jefbot could make a human-sized hamster wheel for the Cornfather to generate some power too, Ion. ๐
Aw. :] The hamster has glasses, how cute. <3
yup! Musashi gots ta be stylin’, Nat. ๐
Woo-hoo, my (the public library’s) net connection is back up. I really gotta get my own (or start stealin’ a neighbour’s wi-fi). Beautiful strip dude, lighting kinda reminds me of St. Ives in Cornwall. Love the idea of haulin’ copper to the beach. Nowadays when i’m out ‘n’ about i’ve got a coupla cheap and laptop sized briefcase solar panels. If the basta fire ball wants to give me cancer i’m gonna power some electronic fun from it’s rays.
thanks Deaconvorbis, glad you’re back! i, um, “borrowed” my neighbor’s wi-fi a few years back for a little while until he locked it down. was nice while it lasted, though. solar panels!? awesome. gotta get me some of those! ๐
you are now one of my favorite comics…. FEEL HONORED!! >_<
i am deeply honored by all my readers, TCC! heheh. glad you stopped by and thanks for the comment. ๐
Re: Goggles
It seems your real Life is interfering with the strip here, whats up with that?? (just kidding) The goggles I am wearing are 100% UV proof…….as you actually can’t see through them ( I made them for a friends that’s into the kinkier side of life and wanted to be stylin’) The other ones I make come with shade 5 welding lenses, but I’m not sure of the exact UV rating on those…but they deffinately cut the glare on a bright sunny day at the beach or the slopes…(see website linked to my avatar)
my life and the strip interfere with each other all the time, Hans! sometimes it’s hard to distinguish one from the other. heheh. and re: goggles – i checked out your site and you have some amazing stuff over there! i might hafta grab me some Valkyrie goggles the next time i head to the beach, or, you know, am storming the gates of Valhalla. ๐
Beautiful strip, Jeff! And, hilarious as usual!
thanks, man! i’m happy you thought so. ๐
Simply run the line to the Tardis.
unfortunately, it wouldn’t fit into the back of the Cornfather’s car, The Doctor. ๐
OMG….Musashi in last panel looks so super……lolzz…………wow…only a week gone and i missed on so much…….
thanks, JF3! Mu is pretty stylin’ there, i agree. heheh.
was wondering where you’d been off to. ๐
It’s true. Jefbot’s always plugged-in.
Hampster ball at the beach? Classic.
yeah jef needs to get out more stop messing with technology for a while and get back to nature. for a little while then go back inside
