Although I absolutely loved writing and drawing the Angry Scarf storyline over the past couple months, I must say it felt good making a strip with just the Cornfather and jefbot sitting on the couch in their apartment again. Now I just need to get bot out of his Super Scrawn costume and back in his nega-6 baseball tee, and it’ll be just like old times!
Many F5’s later, and the ‘bot looks like a theater floor. *LOL*
ha! i think you’re right, Tony. let’s just be thankful the Hawaiian Shirt Guy’s pooch didn’t provide any “Raisinets” on bot’s costume.
and looks like those F5s paid off, as the Shades of Firsting are yours! wear them well: they’ll protect you from any crumbs and/or pepperoni slices discarded by sloppy roommates:
😎
It’s been a while, cursed 3 hour time difference. 😉 If I were sane, I’d be asleep, but since my wife is sending me messages from Knott’s Scary Farm, I figured why not try for the coveted shades.
your logic worked well, Tony! (i’m glad you got the Shades.) unfortunately, Knott’s Scary Farm is waaaaay cool (as i’m sure you know). i’m kinda bummed that it doesn’t look like i’m gonna make it this year.
Hahaha, I would totally do that if my friend was hogging the couch…:D
heh. yeah, i would, too, ZAD-Man. 🙂
Oh dear — there’s gonna be some epic paresthesia when the Cornfather stands up.
At least he saved a pepperoni slice for our hero. 😀
indeed, Aja – maybe jefbot should just go back to sleep again before the Cornfather stands up, to avoid the pain when feeling returns to his legs/feet.
and let’s hope nobody’s hungry enough to eat that leftover slice. 😉
OMG, blue feet, I can´t feel my legs, almost without pizza, THIS IS HELL.
yeah, if jefbot at least had a slice of pizza to eat, this whole situation wouldn’t be quite so hellish, ContableEnorme.
Yay! Another classic Corn/bot moment!
yay! thanks, Kim!
I love the Cornfather’s expression in the third panel—so beautifully righteous. And the blue toes.
Hey! Where’s Scarf?
glad you liked Corn’s righteous expression, Sarah W. as for the Scarf’s whereabouts: …no one knows for sure. dun dun DUNNNNNNN!!!
The scarf! She is gone!
RED ALERT!!! RED ALERT!!!
yep, the Scarf’s gone, CG! …and where it’s lurking, nobody knows. *gasp!*
Oh man, Jefbot…I feel your pain. Sometimes I’ll wake up in the middle of the night with absolutely no feeling in my hand…ugh.
And Sarah W, I thought the same thing…at the end of the last strip, you can see it peeking out from behind the couch, so I’m assuming it was kind enough to fold itself up/put itself away until the Scarf-Bot signal is lit.
waking up with no feeling in your hand can’t be a good sign, Joe. (unless you’re sleeping on it or something.) you should get that checked out!
and good eye on seeing the Scarf in the previous strip. guess bot will find out if it’s still lurking around, soon!
Oh, the hand’s my own fault…I foolishly sleep with it above my head, and then in the middle of the night it falls down on my face, followed by an awkward “Huh? Fu-wha-oh!” moment
Well at least his energy should be close to full now that he’s gotten some semi-decent sleep.(I don’t think having Cornfather sitting on you and using you as a tray would count as decent) Where did the Angry Scarf go hiding off to?
yeah, bot must’ve been out cold to not wake up during the Cornfather’s antics, Fijiman, so i think you’re right in thinking that his “batteries” should be recharged, now. as for the Scarf: we’ll see if it’s still around in a future strip.
It’s not a mater of if it’s still around but a matter of where it may be hiding.
Well, better to wake up with crumbs than with ants on you. And I imagine ‘bot must be insanely thirsty.
Oh, and you are right behind this guy calling himself the Doctor for being a companion, by the way.
perhaps if jefbot had slept a little longer (he’s been out for quite some time, btw), he would’ve had the ants, too, GG. heheh. and, yeah, he’s definitely thirsty.
and good to know where i stand for being a companion!
Ha, saw the blue feet and it made me laugh.
thanks for the laugh, Hairba11! the blue feet made me giggle as i was coloring them. 🙂
Oh, and it would be rude to ask about Jefbots face too, CF? But nooo, you just sit on him for god knows how long… Sometimes for sake of friendship you need to be a little considerate.
Anyway, where did scarf go off to? Is it Dew-deficient and thus immobile at the moment?
you’re right: there are a great many questions that the Cornfather should be asking, Maryz! we’ll see if he gets to them before bot is off again.
and your “Dew-deficient” theory could be right on. for all we know the Scarf could be at/in the refrigerator pilfering the Dew supply at this very moment!
He’s baaack! Maybe he saved you a slice in the sofa? Love the last frame! The feet are awesome! Excellent job as always Jefbot!
thanks, FunnyShaffer! …but i’m hoping there are no hidden slices in the furniture. 😉
I can just see the Cornfather saying, “Are you gonna eat that?” and grabbing the pepperoni off Jefbot’s shoulder. 😉
I love the blue feet. That’s the worst sensation though!
heheh. after all that jefbot’s shirt has been through over the past several strips, let’s hope the Cornfather doesn’t do that, Shanna! 🙂
WHERE IS THE SCARF!!! What’s going on here?!?!
it might take a while, but we’ll find out the whereabouts of the Angry Scarf in a future strip, Slave1!
Much as I enjoyed the scarf storyline, I’m glad you’ve returned to your roots. 😛
Just wondering when Cel will return… (was really hoping for a Darkside Scarfbot vs. Cel fight there for a bit)
don’t get too comfortable, Maddgodd81 – we’re about to go into another storyline (kinda), and it’s a bit of a change of pace for this strip.
as for cel: she’ll be back, but it’s going to take some time. (but yes, a DarkBOT vs. cel would’ve been rad.) 🙂
At least he’s finally gotten some decent sleep. Poor guy…I think I would kill any of my roommates for sitting on me that long! I’d be terrified of losing toes!
yep, bot did get some decent sleep, T – we’ll find out if the amount was sufficient in the next strip! (we’ll also find out if he loses any piggies due to his roommate’s inconsideration.) 😉
Oh CF, you so crazy!!!
On another note, it looks like Bot wasn’t asleep the whole time, given the bruised cheeks and torn up super suit. :O
CF is pretty crazy, TCG – in the strip and in Real Life. heheh.
and, yes: his adventure with the Scarf most definitely wasn’t a dream.
Didn’t that S on his suit peel off in 386? I actually liked that little bitsy detail 😮
hmm… not sure what you’re referring to, Wojjie. that shirt “peel” above the S happened during the HSG and bot’s “40 minutes later” fight in #383. you mean that?
that is -hillarious-.
well that was a most excellent story arc. probably my favorite one. though nothing beats the strip where jefbot brings all his electronics to that beach party.
thanks, steve! there’s one more strip left though, which will transition between this arc and the next. i’m happy you enjoyed jefbot’s (not entirely successful) foray into superhero-ism! 😀
(and that “beach” strip you mentioned happens to be one of my faves, too.)
CF shouldn’t be so mean with JB…the poor guy has been through a lot (thou no one knows it). On another note…WHERE IS THE SCARF!!! I can’t see it wrapped around JB.This is not good.
yeah, if the Cornfather knew exactly what jefbot had been through, he might have given him more slack on taking up so much of the couch, nicobot! and the Scarf’s whereabouts shall remain unknown. …for now. 😉
I think his toes are going to fall off. o.o
that would make for a good Halloween strip, dj. hmm… 😉
Cornfather is so polite!
you mean when he’s not using bot as a tv tray or cushion, Xinda? heheh.
Might be a little late for this, but i just reread the archives and can’t help but feel that the alien light things and Angry Scarf are somehow related to oneanother. Normally i don’t state my hunches, but i can’t help this one…
perhaps someday a link between the two will be revealed, Charlie, but for now there’s no connection. keep comin’ up with those theories, though! (and it makes me happy you went rereading through the archives!) 😀
Is the stray tag for “a” (right in front of the one for “apartment”) possibly a deliberate error by the stripmaker? Speaking of tags, given how often this particular device appears, maybe “remote control” would be a good tag?
Kind of on a related subject, just noticed the TAG PAGE button below the calendar… what a cool feature!
not sure where that “a” came from, but i deleted it, Kim. and “remote control” would be a good tag – i’ll keep it in mind.
and, yeah – i’m not sure many people use it, but that “tag page” feature does make for some nice bookmarking. 🙂
Cornfather, you need to get off the Bot-man. His feet are turning BLUE! It seems that JB doesn’t remember his crazy adventures. Which means that the Scarf was fully in control of the Bot-man’s actions. I wonder though, will he have ‘flashbacks’ when he sleeps (if the frazzing Scarf will let him sleep)?
heh. you’d think the Cornfather wouldn’t have to be told to get off bot’s legs when his feet started changing color, KB! and you’re right – while the Scarf was in control during the trip home, bot probably wasn’t aware of what was going on. but yes, that isn’t to say the memory might not be somewhere in his unconscious…
Now Im hungry for pizza…
