JEFbot readers will remember that bot’s Scrawn costume was born from this strip and then never seen from again. Until today, that is. Now that the Angry Scarf’s powered up and bot’s all suited up, will he go and fight crime like the Superhero he believes himself to be? (Although he is looking a little Supervillain-ish if you ask me.) And without his Partner-in-Herodom, Chubman!? Find out if he actually goes through with his plans in Monday’s JEFbot!
Yep, that’s right: Monday’s JEFbot! After much deliberation I’ve decided to continue the MWF schedule until The Angry Scarf storyline concludes. There might be some interruption as we get closer to APE (my next con appearance!) in San Francisco, October 1-2, but otherwise, the strips will continue to flow three times a week. Again, thanks for all the support!
Nothing says Scarf-powers like sidekicks named Crochet-Kid… just saying.
ha! and i’m assuming the Cornfather would be the Crochet-Kid, Maesonic? not sure he’d agree to that…
and, hey! you threw down a first comment so achieved the Shades of Firsting! wear these when you’ve misplaced the goggles that go with your superhero costume:
😎
he could probably be the Crochet-Father. two knitting needles over his Chub costume logo and hes set! well, that and a satchel of assorted yarn…
oh, and the Shades… do they come with hand made, rage knitted Chums? (I think i just dated myself by calling them Chums….)
Oh dear…trying to make big decisions on less than no sleep…I did that a few times and always regretted the outcomes. Here’s hoping it works out for ‘Bot!
And yay for the continued M-W-F schedule!
heh. i must be running on fumes like bot here, T, cuz when i first read your initial sentence, i thought you were talking about my decision to keep with the MWF schedule. i definitely shouldn’t have made that decision when i’ve only had about 3 hours of sleep in the past 24 hours! heheh.
you’re right, though: bot really shouldn’t be making any decisions or doing anything really, until he gets some sleep! seems like a bad idea for him to be fighting crime in his condition…
yay for MWF! 😀
I think you might want to take the weekend to recover as much as you can…if you’re that tired, I shudder to think of you doing little tasks. Like driving. Or dealing with warrior sister. Or anything potentially hazardous.
Seriously; I’m getting a little concerned about you, friend o’ mine. I imagine the whispers of the dark side are easier to listen to when you’re running on fumes. 😉 That goes for you and the ‘Bot.
going to try and get caught up on JEFbot stuff this weekend. (like the Anniversary contest! – i haven’t forgotten!) will try and do as little driving as possible. 🙂
and yes, the dark side’s definitely louder when running on fumes. and harder to ignore. heheh.
Sweetie, that little chuckle at the end managed to scare the shit right out of me. Lol! All right, if you promise to try and take care of yourself, I’ll stop nagging. For now. 😉
Continue nagging Tiana, we all want to keep Jeff arround for a long time.
And who is better to make sure of that than a member of The Harem?
*preps to tag in for the Nag-a-Thon.” Exhaulted One…don’t make me use the boobs to lay your head on as a pillow…wait…..Scratch that. Don’t make me use the sledge hammer! Get some sleep bebe.
You know… one of my favorite college games was to stay up as long as possible, and once you really start hitting sleep deprivation, see how long you can last in an all out Quake 3 tournament.
Your friend, Darth Maesonic.
Oh no! Whatever could JefBot and the Angry Scarf have on their minds? What are they up to?
With no food, no sleep, and a caffeine/ sugar crash pending!
“With great power comes great . . . depravity?
One can only hope . . .
scrawn + thread = scrawnted?
Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it’s Scarf man, and he is so FABULOUS 😀 Anyways, great outfit, although I really miss the yellow cape from the scrawn/chub wallpaper 😀
And with those glasses Bot really does look quite like Otto Octavius
Hmmmmm…. I wonder if Cornfather would get his own superpowers… Or reveal that he had some all along…
LOVE your avatar!
Gooood Morning Everyone!
*pixie SQUEE!* This is AWESOME! I think this is our biggest comic yet? Epic WIN! Love the mask covering his face.
YAY!!!!! More M/W/F! That’s so great. But remember, if you need a break, we will understand. Don’t push yourself too hard.
Hey NewBots! Come and join us on Facebook! Look for the Jeffbot Fans page and join up!
The only thing I’m wondering now is, what’s his superhero name?
BTW, how do you get an avatar? I’ve been unable to figure it out.
Hero alter ego is called Scrawn. Just click on link in description and it will bring you enlightnment.
Oh, you see, I thought he only had the power of Scrawn, didn’t know that was his name as well.

Seriously get some sleep! This cant end good if you cant think straight.
But I gotta say I love the scarf in the hair while thinking. Just love it! Simple thing but it and the fourth panel with costume on hanger being brought over by the scarf si smething that gives strip some dynamic that static pose from third panel sorely lacks. But maybe its because there is too little background in lover three panels. You, mister, are The Master of making the scene feel real and – Whats the word, LIVED IN? – despite obvious carttony feel and thus inherent cuteness of your drawing style.
With the wardrobe in background of fourth panel and something fitting like… I dont know, a rooftop maybe? in background of fifth it would gain on hillarity too.
Just some (hopefuly) constructive criticism.
Love the wide grin and slight blush on fourth panel and the use of scarf to conceal face but Perhaps Black or yellow glasses would go better with the costume.
I wonder if Scrawn realy will go on a prowl how long will it take for Cornfather to catch up on whats going on.
And where did atom model logo on the shirt go in that last panel? That stylised S was so cool.
I was wondering about the atom symbol, too.
Want…Power Of Scrawn…T-SHIRT!
I get scrawnier by the day. I’m just sayin’…
…I’m concerned that he’s quoting the Joker from the ’89 Batman movie in the last panel (and apparently not even realizing/caring that he’s a superhero quoting a supervillain). Is he already this far gone? Is he going to commit crimes, thinking that he’s helping? …or is he just going to scarf-swing around the city and collect new hits on that 3DS StreetPass thing?
One of the things you don’t expect is reading one of your fave e-comics on your birthday. And what an awesome one it is too. Wait’ll they get a load of me indeed
Happy birthday!!!
HA!!! I knew that he would be all angsty like spiderman! JB you owe me a cookie! Other than that I like where this storyline is going.
Jeffbot as a superhero? I love it! I can just imagine the many heroic adventures.
The power of scarf?? o.O Love it Bot. Now, get some sleep already before you get hurt. 😛
I knew it… I have been saying this since the beginning. He is DEFINITELY going to be a Super Villain! His dark side is taking over and it is making me smile!
Glad to hear the 3 strips a week continues bro! This better not interfere with lunch!
No sleep + scarf with attitude = DANGER! Hopefully you’ll be able to control your special powers… Where did the scarf come from again? …oh yeah… Uh oh! P. S. LOVE the last “frame!” or lack there of…
Not good, the Joker/Red Mist line (hey, I’m a fan of Kick-Ass, okay) but I do love the possibilities…
Take care of yourself, ‘bot. You’re too talented a person to burn yourself out.
Yes, I was also wondering why the logo on his shirt changed. It was cooler when it was on the hangar. 😀
Hey JB, remember that super-car that Wil had at the arcade opening? Turns out I had a spare sitting around in a warehouse, if you let me run a few, “thousand” tests on your scarf. It’s yours.
This is so AWESOME! I love the last pannel. 😀
I wrote a whole post, then managed to lose it by commenting on someone else’s comment before I posted mine. I am too tired. I don’t remember what all I said other than:
If he makes it to the bigtime (full fledged superhero or supervillian), he is going to have to modify his costume. Otherwise, he’s gonna get laughed at for the knee pads and kitchen gloves by all the other Supers. 😉
Eeeeeeee. :3 slash-approval.
Thank you for the Batman reference.
I Just found your site today and I read through every comic start to finish. You’re awesome. And to top it off you’re going to be at APE con?! I’m volunteering there! Now I’m going to have to hunt you down and blame you for my lost college study time. Also I’ll probably buy some stuff from you. Watch out.
So thats how doc oc got his start….
also, I REALLY hope bot’s not hallucinating… I’d hate to see him do something… well…. silly. Damn if that doesn’t look cool. yer gonna do a wallpaper of that right?
Awesome. I wonder if Cornfather will break out him costume when he finds out about Jefbot’s powers. And speaking of Jefbot, SOMEBODY GET THAT BOY SOME NYQUIL BEFORE HE KILLS HIMSELF! Three days without sleep is bad, three days without sleep and then trying to play superhero is worse.
I didn’t know you were a super hero…
I probably would have just gone back to playing x-box. I’m too lazy to do any super hero (or villain) stuff.
That’s exactly what my reaction would be, right after I actually got some sleep that is. 🙂
methinks when someone sees him they are going to immediately recognize him.
Hooray you will be at APE! I can get a book signed 🙂
What an awesome strip!
I don’t know why jefbot is so worried about covering his face, superman never had any problems and with him he even revealed more of his face.
Loving the scarf’s abilities. Although I’m more than a little worried; the scarf was possessed by a nasty alien or something, right? And now the scarf has possessed/attached itself to Jeffbot?
Looking a little ‘Spiderman’s alien symbiote’ there.
I reckon it will go very hero and then very wrong. Especially when Jeffbot’s alien-fighting girlfriend finds out…
In any event – it’s going to be a bloody good read!
Great power comes with great….depravity? Great 😀
Nice duds 😛
Why do all new heroes use the yellow dishwashing gloves? Are they afraid of leaving fingerprints and that’s all that’s available or …
I mean, in Bot’s instance, perhaps knitted gloves would be more appropriate.
Lol what a dork, but an amazing dork.
I’m in the middle of knitting a scarf…
be careful where you drop it, Rebekah. 😉
Nobody even mentioned the evil in his blood from the beginning of the comic, I’m surprised! He looks like Toby Rogers to me, but I know that came out after this. Hey- there’s a comforting thought! Maybe an insane, literal AXE MURDERER got his inspiration from your comic! Wouldn’t that be awesome? He didn’t get the scarf right, though…
