Wow! I can’t believe JEFbot has been in existence for 6 years! But, yep, it does indeed say “August 2007” on that first strip so I’ll just assume it’s true and not a joke my past self has played on my present self. I know some of you have been here since the very beginning, many of you came aboard a few years into the run, and others have joined us just recently. Whichever timeframe applies, I’m happy you’re all here, as each and every one of you has helped me grow as a writer and artist throughout JEFbot’s lifespan (I mean, just look at those first few comics as evidence!) and kept me motivated to keep creating every day, month and year since I started posting these comics to the web.
So, to celebrate the anniversary, and also as a way to say, “Hey, thanks!” I’m having our BIGGEST SALE EVER, marking everything in The BOTshop down by 30%! Just type “6YEARSOFBOT” (without quotes) into the “Redeem a Gift Certificate or Coupon” field during checkout and you’ll see your savings applied immediately. (See example in the light blue box.)
And to coincide with this anniversary, I’ve finally gotten our most popular Prints (Quality Time & Int’l Beastros) into The BOTshop! Previously only available at comic conventions, you can now order these unique and frame-ready prints directly from The BOTshop. And just like at conventions, I’ll personalize the print to you (and a friend if you’d like, which is a popular choice with the Quality Time prints) and sign each one. Just let me know the name(s) you’d like in the Order Instructions field during checkout.
Here’s what the prints look like, available in both 8×10″ and 12×18″ sizes in The BOTshop (click here to shop Prints):
I also wanted to mention that I’ve recently restocked the Quality Time 2.0 and Ramen House (flavored with Cthulhu!) tees in a variety of colors, so if you’ve been wanting to pick up one of these geek-chic tees, there’s been no better time to do so than now! (Click here to shop Tees.)
And don’t forget JEFBOT.VOL01_All Dysfunctions Normal, collecting the first 203 strips that started it all! Now you can get these books at their cheapest price yet in both softcover or hardcover, with the deluxe, Angry Scarf Edition (with exclusive color sketch, stamp, wraparound and signature) still available! (Click here to shop Books.)
That’s it! Enjoy the sale and again, BIG THANKS for the past 6 years, BOTpeeps! Know that your purchases not only fund new merch, but they also keep my bills paid, so you and your generosity have my eternal gratitude. I couldn’t have made it this far if I didn’t have your enthusiasm and support, so here’s hoping for another 6 years (at least!) of stories and laughs together!

But what i want is sold out :/
yeah, there are a couple shirt designs and colors/sizes sold out, Balorth. what were you looking for and i’ll let you know if a re-order’s in the works.
I would love a power of chub 2x
sorry, no plans to reprint that one, Balorth, but a new Power of Chub design just might be in the works later on! i’ll contact you if it becomes reality.
It better lol
Woo hoo! Energy Drink tee for me!
woo! with inks made from pure energy that glow in the dark! thanks, bud!
Wow, you do not know how perfect this was for me. Those “Quality Time” shirts are great! My boyfriends birthday is coming up, and I’m getting him a 3DS and pokemon. This shirt will be such a nice addition since we will surely be playing pokemon together right after he gets the shirt. Thanks for such a great design!
Also, the comic is really captivating lately. It’s always been a great follow, of course! But man, you’ve really been outdoing yourself. The cave scene is so engrossing, and the storyline has me on the edge of my seat already. Thank you for what you do, I hope the sale does well for you! 🙂
sounds like your boyfriend is lucky to have you, Rebecca! i’m sure he’ll love the shirt (and the 3DS and Pokémon too, of course. heheh.) if you ever make it to a comic-con i’m at we’ll all have to exchange pokés, or at least a few streetpasses. 😀
and thanks for the kudos on JEFbot. glad you’re enjoying the current storyline – lots more to come!
Jeff, you are the MAN! I received the shirt today and was stoked at how it looked in person. Not to mention the extra gift <3. That was so sweet and very appreciated!
I would love to come see you some time. (Plus a pokemon from one of my favorite artists would certainly deserve a main party spot, don't you think?!) I live in the Denver area, and have never been able to go to one. (Too bad the Salt Lake one is coming up, that's fairly close at least.) But if you ever come here I'll definitely scout out your booth.
Side note: I've always been impressed by your ability to reply to every reader that comments on your strip. But your kindness has made me a customer for life.
WOOoOOOOO! i’m happy you like the shirt and gift, Rebecca! (i hope your bf digs it, too.) thanks for letting me know!
and i’ve been thinking about doing the Denver con next year – there are a few other BOTreaders that live in or around there, so it’d be fun to have a meet-up if i make it! i’ll be sure and write a post if it’s gonna happen.
and while i can’t reply to every comment, i do try to reply to as many of the newest comments as possible! happy to hear it’s something you’ve taken notice of. 😀
I’ll be looking forward to it if you make it out here. 🙂 But no pressure, I’m sure it’s hard navigating all of these events!
sweet! i should know before the beginning of 2014 if i can make the Denver con or not. i’ll keep ya posted. 🙂
