The Cave Rabbit’s (or is it Mr. Cottonbottom’s?) explanation of the universe to jefbot continues! Thanks for indulging me this trippy journey through Life, the BOTiverse and Everything (we’re not quite done yet!) – I’ve been having a ton of fun drawing these strips, and the info conveyed will be important to bot down the line. And of course, everything said in today’s strip doesn’t preclude the possibility that the universe is a platypus or anything you BOTreaders theorized in the previous strip.
Damn this is getting all existential :O
heh. yep! and we aren’t even fully through the rabbit hole yet, f_f!
and check you out – two Firstings in a row! which means you get the 2X Shades so wear ’em well – these let you see the universe in TeaVision©:
😎 😎
Wow it is trippy but good I like the cave bunny’s explanation. The colors are beautiful!
thanks, Kris! glad you’re diggin’ the trippy artwork.
and you keep getting so close to the Shades of Firsting! (just under a minute separated you from gettin’ ’em this time. i think you deserve the Inviso-Shades of Seconding:
Yay thank you they’re like contacts.
🙂
o.o that is beautiful. D: (jaw drop not sad face)
also holy crap Pokemon XY looks AMAZING. stuff got leaked but they look awesome. seriously looking forward to this game.
thanks for the jaw drop, dj! and, yeah – can’t wait for XY!!! tried not to look at the leaked stuff but couldn’t help it. which one you gettin’? looks like X for me now.
I was set on Y from the beginning (even if that MegaZardX is amazeballs) my 3DS is red and I wanted them to match. and Yveltal is so much cooler than Xerneas. I am soooo excited about the new pokemon. I’m already planning a team that is somewhat balanced. I have two firetypes though ><
Starting with Froakie and Bulbasaur.
yeah, i love the way yveltal looks but a friend’s getting Y and xerneas reminds me of the forest spirit in princess mononoke so that’s the one i’m goin’ for. plus i love the letter x.
and bulbasaur’s always cool.
Oh my God, it’s full of stars! And apparently a pair of Gumbys.
heheh. maybe they’ll meet the star child on this journey, Jim?
Just waking up makes jefbot strips even trippier.
After the recent strips: I feel like some parasite living off one of a billion trilliion sum’n sum’n gabajiliinion cells from an ever expanding platypus.
And Giant Cave Rabbit Tea makes you very high.
i sometimes feel that way, too, ROM! let’s just hope if the universe is an organism that we aren’t some sort of cancer corrupting one of its cells.
ooh, yeah – reading JEFbot (especially the recent strips) while still in a sleepy haze is the optimal way to absorb the strips, ROM!
It’s too early for existential concept. Where’d I leave my coffee?
i’m slurping mine down right now, Anime fan. 🙂
I have only one thing to say…
Per Audacia ad Astra
Infinitum, et ultra!
(Si hoc signum legere potes, operis boni in rebus Latinis alacribus et fructuosis potiri potes)
ha! had to google it but good to know some jobs still exist, Sarah W! 😉
I thought this strip finally broke me for a while.
i can’t wait to boldly go, JGT!
The cosmic bunny coaster ride from cross dimensions. Think i saw that once in disney world…
now i have the “Great Space Coaster” song in my head, Graypatch.
Madeleine L’Engle was right? Kewl. 😀
(Jeff, seriously—your art is fantastic.)
she was right about a great many things, Sarah W!
and thanks for the art kudos – this style takes a lot more time so i’m glad you’re diggin’ it!
Coolio!
Loving the ‘new’ style, it makes for a more psychedellic feeling. (did I use that word right? Anyway this reminds me of hippies and I frickin love it!)
yep, your usage is correct, DAS – i would definitely qualify this art as psychedelic. i’m just happy you’re lovin’ it! (and it’s very possible the Cave Rabbit’s a hippy. heheh.)
I swear, the Cave Bunny is growing in size by the nanosecond. And there’s something beyond awesome about seeing Jefbot sitting on his shoulder.
I love the Cave Bunny’s explanation of the universe, along with the artwork—as always.
jefbot sitting on the Cave Bunny’s shoulder is one of my fave images from this sequence so far, Blunz, so i’m happy you’re diggin’ it, too!
It’d be hilarious if Cave Bunny grew his own tea, and just their proximity to the Hollywood sign is what made it hallucinogenic.
What if the universe is a giant platypus? Nothing the bunny has said so far doesn’t mean it isn’t…
it’s very possible (and probable) the Cave Bunny grows his own tea, Descolada! and, yes – the cave’s proximity to the Hollywood sign (and Sunset Blvd) might be boosting its hallucinogenic properties. 😉
also, you’re right that it’s still possible the BOTiverse is a platypus! keep the hope alive.
I’m still waiting where you want to take us with this but I’m feeling like first time I watched 2001: Space Odyssey and we got to the scene after entering the monolith. It took me years and reading the original book to figure out what was going on after that LSD scene.
that was exactly my experience with 2001 as well, Maryz! the first time i saw it, i just thought the end had a lot of trippy visuals but the meaning eluded me until i read the book years later and was like, “OOoooOOooooh. NOW i get it!”
Things are amazing right now! Also little Bot on the rabbit’s back is hilariously cute XD
thanks, JR! i dig the lil’ bot, too. heheh.
Damn Bot, just wanted to say I love this new ark. I was getting pretty bored with your same-old strips for a while but this stuff looks really sexy. It definitely looks like your are putting a lot of effort into these panels. Good story telling too. Keep it up 🙂
thanks, Shruikan – glad you’re liking the current direction of the strip! and i’ll take “sexy” in regards to the artwork any day. 🙂
Oh shoot I forgot to make a comment! Uh, what to say what to say…..
Well, it feels as though you’re trying to branch out and expand your drawing skills by making the comics during this trip not in the comics usual style. It also makes me want to start playing “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” or any other Beatles song from that time period.
heh. yeah, “Lucy” would be a good track to play in the background while you’re reading the current strips, GB. anything by the Flaming Lips would work, too. 🙂
i’m definitely exercising different drawing muscles with this storyline, which i’ve found makes my artwork better overall. i remember when i started stretching a bit with the “Super Scrawn/There Will be Scarf” storyline, and after that, the “regular” strips felt so much easier to draw.
So…’bot, I gotta ask. Did you ever read God’s Debris by Scott “Dilbert” Adams? Because this model of the universe feels a little familiar (not that I’m saying God’s Debris was the origin of it…I’m sure it’s an idea that goes way back).
Wow. These last few strips look beautiful. Great job.
