BOTpeeps! I’m doing the Salt Lake Comic Con this week, so if you’re anywhere near SLC and plan to come to the con, swing on by the BOTbooth and say hi. Since I still haven’t been able to get back to JEFbot, doing these conventions and meeting you readers really helps keep me feel connected to the comic and to you all. I miss doing the comic a TON, and I’m hoping to get back to it as soon as I’m able. Unfortunately, I still haven’t found a steady job, but I’m doing a bunch of odd projects here and there which help pay the bills (somewhat) so I’m still keeping my head above water (mostly.) I’ll have to make a long, detailed blog about what I’ve been up to recently after I get back from Utah. Anyway, thanks for coming and checking in on me and the comic! I sincerely hope to have good news, soon.
Here are the details. And, as always, I’m giving special con BOTtons to BOTpeeps while supplies last, so make sure to let me know you’re a reader!

Reminded me that tix for Emerald City opened this week. Got Saturday tix for the wife and kids. Gonna be fun and we’ll hope to see you there.
sweeeeet! i’m already looking forward to seeing you and your family again, GB! ECCC was my first and still favorite comic con, so i’m hoping that any jobs i might get between now and then will be cool with letting me take time off for it.
I miss this comic ALOT man it was great but now it has been gone for ever. =[[ . I honestly think that if you live in a place that is not crazy expensive, jefbot is such a good comic it could support you after a while. Have you been drawing much of anything in the meantime? i’m sure the other bot peeps are also chomping at the bit for a little more of your artistry. 😛
thanks, Unumbra! i’ve definitely been drawing a ton since taking this long break from JEFbot. been filling my sketchbooks, some artwork for next year’s Monsters & Dames book and several animation courses, so keeping busy! i’ll try and post some stuff here on the site, soon. 🙂
Have a good and profitable time in Utah. Glad you are still afloat and luck in the job hunt. May the Bot be with you.
Utah was fun but not as profitable as last year unfortunately, Kris. might not do it again next year. but, yes: still afloat! thanks for the luck and hopefully i’ll get a job soon.
<3
You gunna make it to Rose City again this year?
Maybe I'll bring Izzy along 😀
arrrgh! would’ve loved to have met Izzy, DJ! but – as of now – i’m still signed up for Seattle next year, so maybe i’ll meet Izzy & Leena, then. 😀
Keep sticking with the job hunt and doing what you love, man. The struggle won’t last.
thanks, E. A.! the struggle’s lasting way longer than i would’ve thought, but i’m still sticking with the job hunt. hope to find something soon!
Still hoping you find a decent job soon. 😀
Is the job you’re looking for a hard role to fill anyway?
You seem like you could be a graphic designer, if that wasn’t what you were previously. You’ve got sufficient talent to nail yourself that job.
Unless you have problems with the boss/workplace…
Man, that one is a bummer.
i would love to do something other than what i was doing previously, ROM! (office job as a graphic/instructional designer) but i’m not picky at this point! heheh. would love to get into the animation industry, motion graphics or something creative. fingers are still crossed this will happen.
Hooray for another Con! I hope it went well. I haven’t been checking in on the BotSite very regularly so I didn’t see your post till after the con. I’m glad it wasn’t near me or I would have had a heart attack at having missed it!
SLCC was fun and mildly profitable, Shanna, but not nearly as good as last year, mostly due to the organizers expanding too quickly and squeezing more out of the attendees this year, i suspect. fortunately, i have friends in the area so still had a BLAST! got to meet and party with a couple of the guys from a webcomic called Cyanide & Happiness, too, which was awesome. overall, a great time was had, just wish more money was made. 🙂
*DIES WAITING FOR COMIC UPDATE*
The feeeeeels
GDI, isn’t the comic at least going to get a freaking halloween update?
I doubt… We can still hope for a Christmas special
hmm… keep that hope alive, ROM!
hope you’re still alive, Duke!!!
Hey jb. Just checking up on you. Missing you a great deal. Have you heard of patreon? Is that option available to you?
hey, Jf300! thanks for checking up. as for patreon: i’ve heard of it, and while i’ve considered it, i doubt i could raise enough to get by on, unfortunately.
Hey man it was super fun meeting you at the comic con! I was the kid in the team rocket outfit. Hope everything’s going great in California!
I also started my own comic website, like I was telling you about. Hopefully it will one day be as awesome as yours.
woo! thanks for coming by the BOTbooth, Steven! loved your Team Rocket cosplay. i’m a big Pokéfan, so big ups to you. and congrats on your webcomic – it’s funny and i’m diggin’ it!
I STILL HAVE FAITH IN THIS COMIC.
ONE DAY THE BLESSED JEFBOT WILL RETURN AND GIVE US HIS GLORIOUS GEEKY HUMOUR COMICS.
TIL THAT DAY I SHANT LOSE FAITH.
MY CHILDREN WILL HEAR OF THIS AND THEY SHALL TOO WAIT.
FOR THE DAY WHEN THE COMIC RETURNS TO ITS FORMER GLORY AND UPDATES ONCE MORE.
(overdramatic? naah ive got time no rush, really…)
keep that faith alive, TheFlamingonator!!! i haven’t given up on it and am hoping to get back to it in the near future, so hearing that you and other readers are still into it keeps my faith alive, too!
This is in no way shape or form a guilt trip but…. I miss you Bot!
awwww. thanks, DaHoboJoenMe!!! i miss you guys, too! really hoping to get back to JEFbot soon, and if all goes well, i just might have something to tide you over, soon. keep an eye out!
Even I am waiting for a comic update..high time you should do it now :/
Okay may be a Halloween special, that would be fun!
sorry, Betty_Smith – i missed Halloween, but maybe something a bit chilly for Christmas will make up for it? 😉
The fact that i continue to check for updates as well as all these other people, means that you had something with this comic. just abandoning it isn’t the right move. We all enjoyed your art, and your stories. We don’t need a crazy elaborate post you know.. just throw us a bone we’ve been checking in for a long time now.
SO sorry, Unumbra! i definitely should be keeping you readers updated more frequently and will try to do better from here on out. i can tell you that i’m hoping to have something fun to update the site with soon, so don’t give up yet!
Is…is we going to get a heads up as to what’s going on? I reread the entire comic yesterday out of longing for it to update…. 🙁 Just a simple post about what’s happening and if the comic is going to continue would be nice. I’ve been checking almost every day for the last YEAR!
BIG thanks for being so faithful, Insane Kitsune!!! hopefully your loyalty will pay off soon and i can get a little something up in the next week. if nothing else, i’ll definitely post an update of some sort so keep hope alive!
Love ussss
i do, ROM! 😀
Hey Botman have a good Christmas and new year
you too, Kris! hoping 2015 is awesome for everyone!
NO THANKSGIVING UPDATE, NO HALLOWEEN UPDATE, WILL THERE AT LEAST BE A CHRISTMAS UPDATE?! COME ON!!!
while i did miss Halloween and Thanksgiving, i’m trying my hardest not to miss Christmas, Duke! keep an eye out for it!!!
You can’t let the Christmas Bat be left missing! Nooooo
Still hoping you got yourself a new job or you’re busy with an acting gig
i definitely think the Christmas Bat’s hungry for some holiday treats and blood of the innocent, ROM!, so stay tuned!
Don’t let the Christmas Bat go missing this yeeeeaaaarrrr
screeeee!
The important question. Are we insane or dedicated for checking in as often as we do? I see the bot man updates twitter, I fear he has given up on this comic and maybe we should as well. Best wishes on the holidays. I hope you find yourself a worthwile career. 🙂 for the record i did love your comic.
thanks, Unumbra! you aren’t insane – i DO plan to come back and finish jefbot & company’s current adventures, it’s just super hard at the moment. BUT, i am trying my best to put a little something out for the holidays, so i hope you’re around to see it! if not, hope you have a happy holiday and amazing 2015. 😀
