What wonders await bot within The Cage? Will he find answers to the questions deep in his mind? Or do only horrors await?

just found out that my anti-spam filtering plugin has been marking everybody’s comments as spam the past couple days, so if you don’t see a comment you left over the weekend, that’s why. been trying to go through and un-mark legitimate comments, but there’s a lotta spam to sift through, so apologies if i miss yours. situation’s been fixed now, though, so comment away!
Hahaha this cannot end well
we’ll see, f_f! although bot has been pretty unlucky so far… hmm.
and check you out – you achieved another Shades of Firsting! is this the start of a new streak or just a one-off? as always, wear them well: these will help separate reality from illusion:
😎
Who knows? My schedule has been adapted to normal people schedule for a couple of weeks hahaha
Maybe if I go back to designer schedule I’ll grab your 2am posts again 🙂
“normal people schedule” sounds good, f_f! i gotta try getting on that. 😉
Oh no poor Jefbot. But maybe he’ll find Cel and all will be well. Really loving the art.
thanks, Kris! and it’s yet to be revealed if cel has a role to play in all this…
I’m guessing he’s not actually walking into a cage cause otherwise Rabbit Inventor would stop him? Although, he did give him the tea and omit that it had hallucinogenics so…maybe I am giving him too much credit?
i think your first theory’s sound, theBean – if bot’s actually been shrunken down and is now small enough to enter that cage then the Cave Rabbit has tech that’s more impressive than previously thought! but then, you never know. things have been pretty crazy for bot as of late.
Hope the Rabbit has some cake.
heh. and maybe some cupcakes and cookies too, gambler. 🙂
The cake is a lie!!!!!!
ha! it’s so delicious and moist. 🙂
Serious Alice in Wonderland vibes >>
But that’s a good thing 😀
agreed – the book and the Disney movie are great, DJ!
I am seriously amazed by the artwork involved in today’s update. I absolutely love the eerie/mystical look these three panels have. I especially love the blue glow in Jefbot’s eyes in the first panel.
Meanwhile, I can barely draw stick figures.
I have a theory about the blue speech bubbles. It appears that the regular blue ones belong to the Cave Bunny, but the purplish ones are Jefbot’s imagination playing tricks on him. In fact, it seems that his imagination is a big fan of the colors blue and purple, judging by the colors of the things floating around in the air.
Hmm . . . I’m starting to question whether the Cave Bunny is real or not.
thanks for the kind words, Blunz! it’s awesome that you’re diggin’ the artwork so much. as for your “color” theory – it sounds pretty good to me! 😀
I guess the tea should have had a label that said “drink me” on it. Hopefully Jefbot can find some cake with a label that says “eat me”.
heheh. let’s just hope bot’s heading into Wonderland, GB, and not someplace more sinister.
I like how there are dragonflies and dragons.
I have a strange feeling that Sir Cottonbottom’s messed up eye is talking to ‘bot.
Have I ever gotten these things right, and you have to rewrite the whole strip? 😀
let’s hope bot doesn’t look into that creepy eye then, ROM!
and no worries – the story’s already mapped out, so even if you or any other BOTreader guesses correctly, i won’t change anything just to thwart you guys! i actually love reading what y’all think is coming whether it’s correct or not. 🙂
“In this corner for a ten-round, no-time-limit Cage Match against that Killer Rabbit; that Master of Minds; that Hallucinatory Horror Sir Cuddlebottom — It’s JEEEEEEEEEEEEFBOOOOOOOTTTTTTTT!!!”
always bet on bot, r61!!! or is that, “always bet on bunny”?
Amazing artwork….
It really captures the dream, unreal feeling of the hallucination…
thanks, DAS! 😀
Despite all my rage, I’m still just a Bot in a cage.
then bunny’s will say bot is lost and can never be saved.
Win!
And down the rabbit cage we go…
I really shouldn’t be filled with this much LEGITIMATE CONCERN over a fictional character…
Oh, by the way, ‘bot, have you heard some nerds are making a webcomic sequel to the old Super Mario Bros. movie? It’s even endorsed by one of the ten (TEN!) writers of the film! Check it out, it’s surprising what they can do when there’s not a shoestring budget or the ’90s standing in their way: http://smbthecomic.com
ha! yeah, i think a little concern thrown bot’s way is warranted in this case, JOE! let’s hope bot escapes from that cage (either literally or metaphorically, depending.)
clicking on that SMB sequel link now. i have a weird nostalgia for that movie, as misguided as it was. 🙂
Duuuuuuude . . . let’s hope that’s not Cave Bunny’s evil side.
*finger’s crossed* Sarah W! bot betta be on his guard.
Jeffbot never was one for caution. LOL How deep does this rabbit hole go?
we’ll find out, markalester! but i can tell you now – it goes pretty far. maybe too far. 😉
Let the quest for sanity and scarfs begin.
quest unlocked, Graypatch!
Oh dear, Bot is tripping some serious balls now. Let’s just hope he can snap out of it soon.
and tripping serious balls is putting it mildly, Fijiman! let’s hope “snapping out of it” is even possible. 🙂
Now I would like to think that Mr. Cave Bunny is a straight kind of fellow, not a shady manipulative one. So I am going on a limb here and say that Jefbot is hearing hallucinogen- induced voices and where he is going is affected by his subconsciousness OR there is a telepathic being around and Tea made Jefbot receptive just enough to make a connection.
either theory is valid so far, Maryz! either way, the sooner bot figures out what’s going on, the better.
Those are some awesome hallucinations he’s having. I don’t think I’d mind having purple dragon, dragonfly, butterfly, etc. hallucinations. Too bad there isn’t any guarantee in advance of what kind you will have. That (among other things) is enough to make me avoid hallucinogens.
Can’t wait to see what else awaits Bot in the Cave!
i’m with ya, shanna – too many weird things floating around my head to not know exactly what hallucinations i’d have to drink any sort of “cave rabbit tea” on purpose. guess jefbot’s just lucky that he’s seeing butterflies and dragons, so far. 🙂
Alice goes into the rabbit hole.
indeed, PJ Day. let’s just hope he can get out.
Wow. I absolutely love the lighting in panel 1.
Man, I secretly hope there some light cycles on this trip. 🙂
thanks, dude! can’t promise light cycles, but i can promise lots more glow-y stuff. 😉
