Thus endeth the “Hoarders” storyline started back in JEFBOT.212_Must See TV! Sure, jefbot will be dealing with sorting out his nerd hoard and repairing the doors of the apartment in future comics, but those will be part of other storylines and/or solitary strips. And, of course, there’s the matter of cel, and finally getting answers from her, which will happen this year. Everything (well, almost) you wanted to know about cel, her relationship to the UFOs and the fate of Mu will be revealed. Promise. I’m champing at the bit to get to this storyline. Champing, I say!
If you’ve only recently started reading the strip and are wondering what UFOs, beaches and hamsters have to do with jefbot and cel, reading the “Beach” strips should clear most of that up. Those start here: JEFBOT.157_Social Distortion.
FIRST!
Ok I just had to get that in before someone else beat me to it. GO ME!
ANYWAY, Comic is amazing per usual. Poor Jeff. He was getting all deep into the emtional stuff and she hauled. Will it ever work out for those two?
her family runs the only arcade within walking distance, he’ll at least be a favorite customer
true dat!
yup, you took First on this one, Pixie! you get the glasses: 😎
i think this means we’ve had a different person take the spot six times in a row now!
as far as jefbot and cel are concerned, maybe they’ll find happiness together someday, but probably not until bot figures out why she keeps bailing on him. 🙂
SECOND! shes more open minded to the possibility of UFOs when it comes to the hamster… lol
yup! cel knows something about Musashi – we’ll find out exactly what that something is in a future storyline, Animie fan. 🙂
long as there’s a good bit of randomness to the storyline you know i’ll be coming back.
you can bet on it, Af.
problems with girls, thats the thing if they were no women (and men would be able to reproduce somehow) than there will be peace, because we will have no problems or because we would be all dead after a very short but intense war :D:D
too bad we humans can’t solve our problems Street Fighter style, Eddie, with each country sending over an elite warrior to battle other world champions. i think i’d nominate cel to represent America. 😀
Her special attack would be throwing a bucket of red paint in your face 😀 And a so called “door kick” to opponents stomach. But if SF was real, I would like to see C-Viper
ha! i’d love to see cel using those attacks in a real SF game, Eddie. 😀
CF looks mighty scary in that first panel. (I wouldn’t want to cross him.) And when JB was talking about “us” my heart did a lil leap, because I was assuming he was talking about himself and Cel becoming an “item” so to speak. And damnit, I think JB needs to strap Cel down to get some answers out of her, since she’s ALWAYS disappearing when questions start to pop up. *Shakes fist*
I love how you have strip to coincide with the day. (What I mean is: I used to work in a video store, and we received our shipment of new release movies and games for the next week, on Friday. I had the job of scanning everything all into the computer system, and getting the new sleeves printed out for when we prepped the movies. I also had to get the walls ready out on the floor for new release Tuesday. I know, more info than you needed to know. 😛 )
That last panel : LOVE IT! It gets the point across with just the emotion coming from JB’s face, and the background being reddish. Got a good giggle out of the whole “F!” at the end as well. Was a nice treat to see a double decker strip, so thank you for that.
after being ditched twice, i definitely think jefbot will change his tactics when talking to cel the next time they meet, Spanky. 🙂
and as for corresponding with the day – in this case it was a happy coincidence that today’s friday! this whole storyline took place over a weekend, so it’s really probably Monday morning, in jefbot time.
thanks! i love doing the double decker strips as it lends itself to more storytelling than just a gag. also glad you liked the “F!” – i wanted to convey bot’s hyper frustration without going with “@$#!&” or a curse word with a black censor bar over it. plus, saying “F” and “S” is funny to me! 😀
You still haven’t hinted anymore at the relationship between Musashi and Cel.
Sounds like some sort of bestiality thing…
hmmm. that would be a twist no one would expect… but, no. 😉
i’ll be dropping hints about it in the future, Kerubim. when it’s revealed the JEFbot Universe will change forever! 😀
Musashi is some type of Morpheus character, I’ll bet. Just imagine that deep voice coming out of that tiny hamster: “…or you can take the blue jelly-bean, Jefbot, and find out just how far down the hamster hole really goes.”
heh. possibly, GeekSauce. but my lips are sealed. “welcome to the real world, bot.” 😉
Damn that disappearing woman.
seriously, 11TN! is the perfect geek woman worth all this frustration?
YES.
OOOOOOOOOH that aCURsed and inFURiating woman with her DISappearing act ALL the time! WHEN WILL IT END, CEL?! WHEEEEEEEEEN?????!!!
heh. you just recited jefbot’s inner monologue after the events of that last panel, Jed. 🙂
Doh! And she’s off again! Funny how it was the fact that Musashi is missing that triggered her bolting. I can’t wait to see how this all ties together. I have some ideas, but they are all pretty far out there, so I’ll just keep ’em to myself! 😉
I love how the Cornfather looks in the first panel and how cute Jefbot is in the 2nd to last. He’s being all flirty-like and she’s not there! Poor guy. The red background in the last panel is great. Overall great job as usual!
I can’t believe it – Taran got to the comic before I did this morning. He read it before school and I didn’t get to it until I got to work. Darn kid!
you’re right about the timing of her bolting, Shanna. and actually, i’d love to hear your ideas about what’s going on since it’s almost impossible to go too far “out there.” heheh. of course, i wouldn’t want to tell you if you’re hot or cold with your guesses.
glad you liked the panels. and yeah: poor bot.
and that’s awesome that Taran’s so quick to pounce on new strips! you have trained him well. 😀 hope he didn’t have too many questions about what jefbot was saying in that last panel…
Wow! I think Cel has issues!!! That is F’d!!! Don’t give up on her Jefbot!!! … obviously she’s in to you or she wouldn’t have come and kicked down two of your doors! …that’s what people do when they like you, they break things!
I love this strip! Excellent job as always! P. S. I love the look on Cel’s face when she finds out Musashi is gone!
ha! thanks! i’m afraid to ask about your past relationships, Funnyshaffer! 😉
Hmmm… disappeared twice right out from under jefbot’s nose… I smell superpowers.
possibly. or maybe she’s a ninja, Sharra! …or just really sneaky. 🙂
Well it was nice to see Cel again. She will be back in 6-8 months 😛 Now it’s time to bring back Musashi!!
Great strip as always brotha!
heheh. you may be right, Slave1, but my hope is to have cel back by the summer! as for Musashi – i cannot reveal his fate just yet…
thanks! 😀
I appreciate the double decker format. I dont appreciate Cel bailing again. Im surprised CF let her go around him. Or did she used another route?
Anyway, facial expresions rock again and hands work this time. I guess they were just too big in last few strips or something.
Oh, and have you guys seen *Yesman!* yet? I have been meaning to post this here for ages and I allways forget. So in scene where they sing *Jumper song* there is girl in the crowd filming it on her phone between two guys and she totaly reminds me of Cel. Check it on Youtube and let me know what you guys think.
glad you dug the format, Maryz! and jefbot’s just as unappreciative of cel bailing as you are. rest assured, he won’t let that happen again. as for the Cornfather – he might have gone back to his own room, or to the bathroom, or as i prefer: he just let her pass ‘cuz he’s pissed about this whole situation.
happy the hands worked for you in this one! 🙂
i haven’t seen that movie. is that the one with Jim Carrey? i’ll try to check that out this weekend to see “cel.”
What?!? Inconceivable! I miss one week and Musashi is missing!?!
Haha about that, I got a virus on my computer…and it’ll still be a couple days at least until I’m done redownloading all my updates and uploading all my games again. I will still be able to get in here and leave comments tho.
ha! yes, poor Musashi was abducted, but cel didn’t know that ’til now.
ugh. hope you get that virus destroyed soon, Eptha. evil, little things. 😉
I can’t handle cel disappearing again! I’ve missed her!
she’ll be back, Annie! 🙂
is that Rod Serling i see standing in the background? better call mulder and scully!
heheh. i hear a trio named Olivia, Peter and Walter are always on the lookout for strange cases to crack too, t_d. 😉
Oh wow the story really started that long ago? Quite the little epic there…
it doesn’t seem like it was quite that long ago but i guess i’ve been having fun ‘cuz time sure is flyin’ by, Steve. more stuff to be revealed in future strips when we return to the storyline in a few months!
“F!”
F?
Y?
O I C! G!
U rock, Jeff!
rofl! thanks, reynard61! 😀
Hot damn, liokong pretty useful buddy.
haha the “F” at the end really did it for me, and i just loved cel’s expression when she found out about musashi *thumbs up*
thanks for the thumbs up, Leithal! i dug the “F” at the end, too, mostly cuz i rarely swear, and when i do i always use “F,” “S,” etc. ‘cuz using those letters is just funnier to me than the actual words. 🙂
let’s just hope that she left to save Musashi not because she doesn’t like him DX
this. ><
let’s hope, for jefbot’s sake, that that’s indeed the case, DJ. 🙂
Just caught up with the backlog of unread strips. Started a new job over a month ago and not been getting on-line as often as i’d like. Comic is awesome as ever man. Peace.
thanks for the kudos and for catching up on the strips, man. hope the new job’s going well! peace!
………….cel is an alien? 😮 the trouble wit being one of the last ones 2 comment is dat evri1 has already said evrithing you’d like 2 say. still…
understood, faehiir, but i love to hear what you think, even if it has already been said by someone else! 🙂
What?! Jefbot has a humongous bruise on his face?! Cel disappears…AGAIN? And The Cornfather still looks way too chubby?!?! EVERYTHING IS SO F’ED!!!! You have me on the edge of my seat with this strip, bot. Luckily I’m not sitting on the toilet. 😉 (Sorry, had to do it.) Anyway, this strip is a work of art. Really well written and drawn. Your detail is extraordinary, man. I know you’re missing out on a lot of sleep but I tell ya, it’s worth it. Big F’in Time! 😀
thanks, dude! always glad to hear you weren’t on the toilet while reading the strip. 😉
Cel pulled a ninja. Musashi! Cel to the rescue!
She has another chance to scare things off with that replica gun. 🙂
That reminds me, I need to tell my uncle to go put back a certain Earth creature…
vanishing on jefbot twice now, it does appear that cel has some ninja skills, Rinthia! whether or not she’s on a rescue mission, executing some other plan, or just needs to get back to the arcade remains to be seen…
and yes, tell your uncle to return that Earth creature!
XD hahaha……awww poor JB, just when he thought that he would have an intimate time with cel she disappears u.u. hmmmm i wonder what’s happening to poor musashi.
that always seems to happen with jefbot and cel, don’t it, nicobot? and while i know the answer to your question, i just can’t tell you yet!
Seriously? She kicks in two doors and then just up leaves?!?!?! WTF?!?!?!
Kicking doors and leaving the guys in sheer confussion in fun as heck! We chicks are always looking for ways to drive you guys insane!
*evil laugh of doom*
Back from the dead. Literrally!
*glares at evil familiar that tried to drag me to church and all that jazz*
Hidding under the computer desk in a wide victorian skirt it’s hard >__<
Poor Jef!
*evil laugh of doom*
I wonder what the landlord will do to Michael and Jeff.
Either the plot thicken or Jef will finally have THE breakdown. Poor guy! *LOL*
Aww. Cel’s scared.
Ouch, that’s painful! Least she could do is sit still for a moment so they can talk like adults. Serious talk is serious, Cell~! :I
And that bruise is F’ed! It looks like it’s gonna pop off BOT’s face and do a soft shoe number. D:
godamnit cel. why do u have to keep disappearing when i am still basking in ur greatness.
Just commenting to remind you of the promise you made in this news post. You have three and a half weeks. 🙂
ha!
FUUUU-
I really hate negative reactions to the word ‘UFO’.
Or …. the …. abbreviation(s).
Because seriously, people. Stop and think about it.
You see something in the sky. You don’t know what it is.
You want to tell somebody about it?
“I saw a UFO.” An Unidentified Flying Object. You didn’t know what it was, and it was flying. Safe to say it was an unidentified flying object.
It just bugs me.
I get this level of irritated over Renaissance Faires, too. I’ve never been to one but from everything I’ve seen they’re medieval faires, not Renaissance. Do any of them highlight burgeoning artists or an escape from religious subjects? I don’t think so.
/end rant.
(I swear I’m nice. I won’t call myself normal, because ew, normal. But I’m nice. ;3)
