On account of this storyline involving the Angry Scarf, and jefbot’s tendency toward Nerd Rage, I know many of you readers have been anticipating him saying this exact line from The Incredible Hulk since the events of this arc began. Now that it’s here, will bot finally let loose the Rage and exact some justice on the Hawaiian Shirt Guy and his mutt? Or will going to the Dark Side just get bot into more trouble? Find out after the weekend in Monday’s new strip!
And for those that are just joining us, here’s the beginning of this storyline:
• JEFBOT.356_There Will Be Scarf
WRECK HIM!
let’s hope we see our hero go all BOT SMASH on Hawaiian Shirt Guy, 11TN!
and check it: you done got the Shades of Firsting! wear them well, as these have a dark tint to hide your Red Pupils of Rage:
😎
He needs moar superpowers, or a tougher scarf.
Also, SECOND.
bot definitely needs to level up a bit, John. we’ll see if he can do so before the end of this encounter.
and congrats! you got the Invisible Shades of Seconding! wear them well:
Bring. It.
it’s already been brought’n, Sarah W! well, let’s say it might be brought’n in the next strip. 🙂
Ah, the way you keep messing with the Bot, I’m predicting yet more frustrated rage on his part. Perhaps some futile swattings with the scarf, and yet more looks of impotent rage, but that’s about it. Unless, of course, this story line is about to finally start rockin’!
bot does get messed with a lot, but mostly due to his own actions, Oz. as for whether this storyline “finally starts rockin'” in the next strip – i’ll let you be the judge.
What are the chances that the Cornfather comes in at this point and snaps Jefbot out of nerd rage?
Also, Morning Pixie.
yes, where is the Cornfather? i wonder if he’s gotten back to the apartment yet? hmmm…
To push him? Not nice but shit happens. But dont gloat about it man, thats just bad manners.
I like how as stroyline darkens so does the sky. It sets a very pleasantly creepy feel when you reread it all at once.
villains do like to gloat, don’t they, Maryz? and it always seems to happen right before their downfall…
glad you’re liking the sky and how it reflects the mood of the storyline as well as the passage of time! 🙂
So, the scarf is Bot’s version of the black suit?
Or the yellow jacket…
Yanno, pretty much any costume that excuses an angry hero!
yep! i would say the Scarf being bot’s equivalent of the black costume is pretty accurate, AngelSquidditch.
Ugh. Dog doo on his jacket. I had a feeling that was coming. I can envision the scarf going anaconda-like on this guy if Jefbot reaches that nerd rage (which I can totally sympathize with!). I hope Jefbot doesn’t end up getting squashed by Hawaiian Shirt Guy.
yeah, the dog doo on the jacket isn’t pretty, shanna. and yes, we’ll see if the Scarf goes all “anaconda” on the bully, or just “garter snake.” 🙂
Ewwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!
Can’t wait to see what happens next.
For the next month, I will be in and out. Busy busy busy Pixie.
“busy busy busy” is good, Pixie! hope to see you here and on FB when you can make it. 🙂
Oh man. I like how casually ‘bot drops that Hulk line (though it’s probably just his goggles making his eyes look bigger).
As for the scarf’s strength, it doesn’t seem to be limited to the proportional strength of a scarf. We’ve seen it hefting game controllers and full water pitchers before. Not saying it’d be juggling our friend Tiny there, but I do still hope it’s a possibility…
agreed, Joe: bot totally dropped that line like a pro. and you’re right – the Angry Scarf has strength far beyond that of a normal scarf! so “juggling” Hawaiian Shirt Guy still might be a possibility. heheh.
Let’s get ready to rumble!
WOOOOOOOO! i’ll bring the popcorn, KenderBryant.
Oh crap. Bot is in some doo-doo now!
ha! yes. deep doo-doo, even, TCG!
Punish him JB!! That guy is a mean person >:( Hmmm…I wonder which are the scarfs true power…because we all know it is eeevil.
hmmmm…what could be fun is that every time the scarf attacks other people, a little piece of string would fall on that person and a new angry scarf would be born :D!! Just an idea….
we’ll know by the end of the next strip whether bot will dish out some punishment or not, nicobot! and if the Scarf multiplies like you suggest, it would only be a matter of time before the world would become The Planet of the Scarves and humans would be their slaves! *shudder*
Called it!
Nerd Rage taking over! Safety locks are off! Super Scrawn mode engaged
all true, jiro maeda!!! whether the stuff you mentioned (nerd rage/safety locks/super scrawn mode) is a blessing or a curse remains to be seen!
I would not want to cross a guy with glowing red eyes wearing goggles! Can’t wait to see how this ends…
true that, FunnyShaffer. i’d probably assume he was a Terminator or Cyclon, and run screaming!
Im expecting some major ass kickery from Jefbot. MAJOR ass kickery, because I hate when people act like bastards and bullies and get away with it just because everyone is too scared to stand against them.
yeah, bullies suck, Eddie. let’s hope jefbot and the Scarf can muster up some MAJOR KICK-ASSERY to teach him a lesson!
I was correct about the dog doo, and possibly about the violence. I regret being correct about the canine feces. Though, if I were shoved into a freshly laid lawn mine, I would -VIOLENCE- the perpetrator. With gusto.
P.S: “I WILL MALICE YOU WITH A SHOE HORN!” Ah, Ed. Loveable oaf.
🙂
bot’s encounter with the dog doo is regrettable, R.H, but maybe that’ll give him the motivation to do something about the bully. whether he will -VIOLENCE- the perpetrator is in question!
…”You…SON OF A B***H! The Juggernaut MADE this jacket!” wait, maybe “I’m gonna make you eat those words bub…” alright thats better
heh. good dialogue options there, Dragonsword. let’s hope the words are the only things bot makes Hawaiian Shirt Guy eat!
I’m kind of expecting/hoping he’ll just pass out again. He is low on “fuel.”
oh, man! that would suck for bot if that happened right when he’s about to go off, Aelyrin!
JEFBOT ANGRY! JEFBOT SMASH!
RRAAARRRRGGGHH!!!
Rah roh, Raggy!
jefbot (and maybe the Scarf) could use a scooby snack right about now, DK. 🙂
I wonder how much of his anger is fed from the Scarf, and how much is from himself. In other words, how much in control Jefbot is.
good question, Wenceslas, and hard to know! we’ll see if bot can control the Scarf (and his Rage) once he starts down the dark path.
dun-dun-duuhhhhhhn!!! the plot thickens!
the plot does indeed thicken, taranchilla! whether bot lays down the Scarf on the bully or gets out of there unscathed remains to be seen! dun-dun-duuhhhhnnnnn!!! 🙂
Damn…I’m on the scrawny side myself, but superpowers or no, I’d try to beat the crap out of anyone who pushed me into dog crap. But I tend to fight dirty, and I have a feeling the Scarf will go for the more “traditional” hero-vs.-villian fight.
heheh. well, as far as we know, the Scarf has no “morals” or any concept of a “fair fight,” Tiana, so this could get messy! of course, hopefully bot can supply those morals, as long as he can maintain some control over his yarn-y appendages.
He asked for It!
