With jefbot unconscious and the full fury of the Angry Scarf unleashed, I’m not sure whether to feel the Hawaiian Shirt Guy got his just deserts or to feel bad for him. Maybe both? Let’s just hope he can still walk away from this encounter after the Scarf’s done with him. And whether jefbot can walk (or anything else for that matter) after he was “shorted out” in the previous strip is another question that deserves answering. (And will be answered – next Monday. See you then!)
Beginning of The Angry Scarf storyline:
• There Will Be Scarf
Yay, avenging scarf! And here I was worried Hawaiian Shirt Guy would gain the scarf’s powers…
yes! it’s an angry and avenging scarf, Joe! heheh. as for HSG going all “Venom” on us – not this time.
and check you out: you just achieved the Shades of Firsting! wear these well – they do double duty as eye protection when your goggles get knocked off, should you choose to go superhero-ing in your neighborhood:
😎
This is epic!
hey, glad you’re finding the strip sufficiently epic, Skyknight. thanks!
Yeah, the whole scarf storyline is really great! Also the first time I read the strip before there were any comments but got beat to be first by just a few seconds XD
yeah, the strip went up later than usual this time, but that first comment was still competitive to get, Skyknight!
Bot down! I repeat! BOT DOWN!!!!!
So long and thanks for all the fish HSG. Enjoy you’re knitted death!
ha! too bad jefbot doesn’t have an alert like that, TCG – he could’ve used the Cornfather’s help before things went so wrong!
as for HSG’s “knitted death.” – let’s hope things didn’t go that far. (but with the Angry Scarf, you never know!)
Ha! Beware the evil power of Xinda! HSG is gonna get what he deserves for messing with the scarf!
“beware the power of Xinda!” – good words to live by, KenderBryant!
In your face dog poop dude!!! I love that the scarf is wrapping him up like a giant rat! Your eyes in the third panel are how I feel this morning! Excellent job Jefbot!
ha! i wake up with that expression pretty much every morning, FunnyShaffer!
I’m hoping the scarf wraps him up from head to toe, completely covering him like a mummy, but when Bot unravels it, there’s nothing inside…
Dun dun dunnnnn!
or maybe just a skeleton and a hawaiian shirt, Greg! 😉
Now I know this is probably inappropriate, but panel 3 is prime Rule 34 material.
😛
heheh. if this strip ever becomes a huge, mainstream hit, i think you can bet on that, CG! 🙂
reminds me of venom….
no guarantee that the Angry Scarf and HSG are gonna bond, jf#300. it might just be exclusive to bot for all we know.
Firstly, a question. Where did HSG’s dog go?
Secondly, a speculation. Perhaps the scarf (after doing god knows what to HSG) will whisk unconscious JefBot back home, and he/you will awake to a cleaned apartment, courtesy of a psychologically (and possibly physically) scarred HSG.
the dog’s still around, Whistle-Tall, it’s just off-camera! (but it’ll be making an appearance in the next strip.) 🙂
as for your speculation: it’s possible! (i could sure use an apartment-cleaning, myself. heheh.)
I still think that Scarf will since the dark side in HSG and realize that THIS is the guy that it needs to give the powers to since he will use the powers in the appropriate way. No more time wasted trying to clean up dog crap…its about to get REAL!
let’s hope that doesn’t happen, Slave1! if the Scarf leaves bot, who would save the neighborhood from a supervillain HSG!?
I’m glad to see the Scarf is not helpless, even if Jefbot is. Get him, Scarf! With the placement of the Scarf’s “hands”, I can just picture it tickling HSG until he pees himself. That one hand is definitely going for the armpit. 😉
HA! your theory that the Scarf unleashed is just a tickle-monster is hilarious/awesome, Shanna! 😀
If this story goes in the direction I think it’s going, Jefbot will find himself in a favorable bargaining position with HSG when he ( Jefbot ) gets back up.
that’s if either of them get up, Rainey! 🙂
Ahh, I’m sure Bot’ll be fine. I bet Scarfie’s just gonna re-latch onto his neck after it chucks HSG scross the park. It’s how it got there in the first place and this time it won’t have to coccoon Bot to do it. Double win!
if the Scarf chucks HSG across the park, i hope we get to see that, Metaldude! (cuz i’d love to draw it. heh.)
Called it! Venooooom!!! XD
Poor bot, he’s gonna feel sore in the morning
the “Venomizing” of HSG could happen, but it hasn’t happened yet, F_F! not until the Scarf “plugs in” will we know for sure.
Its seems to be a cross between Guyver and Doc Oct. Either way it should fight for the survival of the host.
i agree, Tekrat. unless it’s looking for a new host, that is…
Oh no… poor ‘bot!
Looks like HSG is getting the treatment ‘bot got at the beginning of the storyline…
it does look that way, Insectoid. we’ll see in the next strip if it goes that far, though.
called it!
maybe.
not sure yet.
mondays a long ways away…
yep, you’ll know whether you called it or not by monday, steve! (and since i’m replying on sunday, it’s not too far away anymore.) 🙂
I’m not saying I called it juuuust yet—we’ll see what happens when the Scarf is done playing with its new squeezy toy . . .
not sure how i missed your comment on the first pass, Sarah W! anyway, the toy has been squoze (heheh) so we’ll see if you can call it! 🙂
Holy Crap that thing is Sentient? RUN AWAY!!!!
YUP! or it’s acting on instinct, protecting it’s host. remains to be seen, dj!
I think that the “angry scarf” should eviscerate “poop” guy!
that might still happen, Xin! (although bot would have a lot of explaining to do to the cops.)
Excellent! And I find it interesting that it seems slightly more powerful when not attached to ‘Bot…is his moral debates keeping it from its full potential power? Let’s hope it doesn’t realize that…
the Scarf being kept from its “full potential power” by being attached to bot is a sound theory, Tiana. but it must get something from that relationship, so let’s hope it doesn’t go all rogue on us!
Called it!
And HSGuy, do you realy think you can figure secrets of angry scarf just by looking at it closely? Xinda made it. …Aaaaand that wouldnt mean anything to you. Well, it means something to us! Also aliens live in it.
I just realy dont want to see Scarf meld with HSG. It belongs with Bot.
i agree, Maryz! the Scarf belongs with bot. if it bonds with HSG, that would be quite sad. (not only would bot be pissed, but Xinda would be, too, if she found out bot lost it!)
I was right!!!
I always win!
well, we don’t know if HSG is going to become the “Venom” of the JEFbot Universe (or the Time Lord. heheh) quite yet, GG! but, yes – the Scarf does appear to be choking him out. 🙂
Oh, no! Sh** Shirt has all the scarf-power!
heh. i don’t think HSG would like it if that became his supervillain name, lor. 😉
Does this mean this arc is coming to an end soon? :< Well, it had to happen.
yep! this storyline’s almost at its close, FinalFlan. (although the repercussions of the events from it will continue on!)
Wow… I got on here early and STILL am comment number 50-something! lol
Sorry ’bout being quiet lately–things had gotten kinda crazy with the morning sickness and trying to work and craft.
Hawaiian shirt guy is gonna get it! mwahahahahaha! The scarf will avenge Bot and then something’s going to happen and it’s just going to be a normal scarf again, right? Oh, no! I change my mind–the dog’s going to avenge it’s owner and rip the scarf apart! … Well, that doesn’t make sense if the scarf is taking down a 300lb man, then a 2 lb dog can’t do that… Hmmmmm….
I guess I just have to wait it out and see!
Let’s just hope the scarf doesn’t latch onto Hawaiian shirt guy like some other symbiote I could name *cough*venom*cough*
