Just when jefbot had reason to celebrate taking out one violent intruder, another uninvited guest had to come along and smack away his katana! Let’s hope bot can come up with a satisfactory answer to the critter’s question before it starts getting bitey.
—
See you Wednesday!
Dun dun dun. He’s come for his brother. That, or Cornfather. :O
we’ll soon find out if either of those are “the other,” TCG! remains to be seen what role the Cornfather will play in all of this, actually.
and check you out, you just achieved the Shades of Firsting! glad you did, cuz the strip went up a bit late and i was just about to get some ZZZs! wear them well – these will help you find “the other.” (although “other” could be that other missing sock, or the other file you thought you’d deleted.) enjoy:
😎
Second once more. =P
And I think he’s totally looking for the first critter…that or the other half of the map to atlantis. Either one. XP
well if he’s looking for the first critter, he’s gonna be mighty upset when he sees him all knocked out and katana’d, Shift! bot better have that map to Atlantis. heheh.
and wow, two seconds in a row! i’ll just have to award you the Inviso-Shades of Seconding! wear them well:
Actually, if he was friends with that first one I’d think his glowing fur would be the same color. Also, the last thing’s teeth were all fragmented and sharp, making it look…evil. I think this new one was hunting the red one, like some sorta…mutant gerbil police officer.
sounds plausible, Jason. and i like the idea of a “mutant gerbil police officer”! heheh.
Well, this creature can plainly see the fallen creature so I’m guessing it’s inquiring about a third creature we’ll be introduced to later. Though I’m not sure if the other creature is a friend to be rescued or one it wants to eliminate or imprison.
good theories, Rainey – we’ll see how they play out!
Is anyone else imagining the creatures voice as hissing? Or as a very deep base voice?
My guess is, that its looking for Cel or his brother/sister. (I dont remember the gender of the other hamster :P)
I pictured James Earl Jones as the voice.
ha! that’d be awesome, TPC. darth critter.
in my head, it’s a deep voice, too, DAS – i was thinking a benedict cumberbatch-ian sound, but without the english accent.
as for who or what it’s looking for…
I dont know who that is, but I imagine its the deepest male voice ever… Is that right?XD
heh. it’s pretty deep but not as deep as, say, James Earl Jones, or anything, DAS. very distinctive, though. he does the voiceover on the trailers for the new Star Trek.
YOU. you know of benedict? I thought you were amazing before, but even more respect to you jefbot! oh and i really love the style of the latest strips!
hey, i’m happy you’re a Cumberbatch fan too, Kira! can’t wait to see what he does in the new Star Trek (and i still have some catching up to do on Sherlock)!
and thanks! glad you’re liking the recent art with these super-sized strips. 😀
So… Musashi is back and lookin for Cel.
good guess, Maesonic! we’ll find out soon if you’re right!
Maesonic beat me to it…
Except thats Yuki, Musashi is out of it on the floor.
another good theory. part of the equation will be revealed in the next strip, Maryz!
Uh… he’s just fine and I in no way bokkened his butt.
ha! very smooth, MC. “uh… yeah, that other creature’s taking a nap and i’m just guarding him.” 😉
Yay! That is definitely Musashi! I recognize the coloration patterns. That dot on the tummy is unmistakable!! I don’t think he’s bite Jefbot. But you never know. If he has become a borg-hamster, all bets are off.
🙂
if anyone can recognize his patterns it would be you, Shanna! full reveal in the very next strip! 😀
I love his little bellybutton spot. 😀
Hey, I like the new “Notify me” choices! That’s something I’ve been wishing there was for a while. 🙂
now in his “upgraded” form, his belly button acts as a power button, Shanna! 😉
and glad you like the new “Notify me” options. let me know if they work! i haven’t had a chance to try ’em out yet.
Oh shit! It/they can talk?! And now that it’s not a silhouette it looks more like a groundhog than a raccoon.
yep! looks like the other creature just didn’t have anything to say, Fijiman. or maybe it’s a different model of critter that doesn’t have speech abilities. we’ll find out!
Has anyone else noticed how this critter’s eyes are reminiscent of Sonic’s? That hamster-fused-with-videogame theory I read somewhere back is starting to look plausible.
if this creature runs really fast and has a penchant for collecting gold rings, we’ll know for sure, Shift!
THEY CAN TALK! D:
yep! i’m sure bot’s surprised, too, Insectoid. 🙂
HES COME BACK FOR MOMO/MIYUKI o.o Oh no!!
great theory, dj! you’ll find out fer sure in the very next strip. 😀
So… The hamsters are back, augmented with some alien tech.. Where’s Cel in all this?
cel’s whereabouts will figure into this storyline very soon, JGThorncross!
Did i just find a Tron Comic?
nope. this is JEFbot, G.L. Sytnos. 🙂
“full reveal in the very next strip!”
Starting the every-30-seconds refresh cycle now.
ha! keep refreshing, GB – i’m working on the artwork for the next strip as i type! (well, after i finish reading through the comments. heheh.) 🙂
WHAT IS THIS.
Other, eh? The orange-y one? Or another entity we’ve met? Assuming they’re the abducted pets from years ago, the latter is more than likely false, but…hm.
Cel acted weird around the aliens from that plotline a while back….
good questions, GG, and ones that’ll be answered in a little over 24 hours! and, yep – cel did act kinda weird around the aliens oh so long ago. hmmm…
Why would ‘bot’s hamsters attack him? Or maybe they’re looking for Angry. . . Nah. I got nothin’.
And now I have to wait . . . Sigh . . .
heheh. i like that you’re trying to tie the Angry Scarf into this storyline, Sarah W, but for now, it’s still AWOL.
and sorry for the wait – i’m going as fast as i can! 😉
The other? The other what? What is The Other? The other sandwhich? The other key? The other Old Navy? The other car? The other Colorado? The other zoo? The other DS? The other Marry Poppins? The other Coca Cola? The other…..
(I think I just made the word “other” lose all it’s meaning.)
Or you gave it other meanings.
or maybe it’s the other other, GardeBlaze! 😀
Oh my gosh! A whole new level of other! I never thought of that! (mind blows up)
~(>.<)~
What is the other?
I am pondering life itself, Mr. Schuetze.
Wednesday.
It should all come together by then, or I'm going to lose all what's left of my will to read this story arc.
keep pondering life itself, ROM! – and then come back on wednesday to find out about “the other.”
Ahh, crap…now Jefbot’s gonna die and come back with new, super-advanced spider powers including inexplicable stinger things…
…what? Oh, sorry. There’s a VERY SLIM chance that I got things mixed up and I’m thinking of a completely different “Other.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man:_The_Other
ha! i vaguely remember the “Other” Spider-Man story arc, JOE! sadly, i don’t remember any of it. and i’m SO behind on my Spidey reading at the moment. i’m actually just now finishing up the “Spider-Island” storyline! BUH.
No, don’t be sad about not remembering it…it was pretty panned in my circles and Spider-Man ate some dude’s eye.
I’ve been wondering this for a few strips now, and maybe someone else has already asked, but is there a reason Bot has traded in his traditional green for the yellow of fear?
no reason that we know of, EdCasey143 – he was just toyin’ around with those old boxes of clothes and props when destiny called! he still has on his traditional “green and grey” underneath that orange hoodie.
Ok.
…is it bad that it JUST NOW occurred to me that fear might be yellow on the DC emotional spectrum because it’s the color of wetted pants?
heheh. i think you’re onto something there, EC143!
