Just as the image above says: SOOOoOOOo sorry for the dearth of new strips this month, y’all! Taking the BOTbooth to two cities, in two different states, meeting readers and driving an accumulated 3300+ miles all within a span of a couple weeks clearly took more time away from JEFbot (and you all!) than I was expecting. But now that I’m back home in L.A. with no other comic conventions (so far) in the near future, I’m nearly ready to get back behind the drawing table/tablet and return to jefbot’s adventures with Mu, Yuki and the Cave Rabbit! I just need this weekend to get caught up on responsibilities I’ve neglected over the past month, fulfill a bunch of orders from The BOTshop and catch up on some much-needed rest, which means I’ll be back to writing and drawing on Monday and should be uploading a new strip to you guys on Tuesday. I should also have something written up about Portland’s Rose City Comic Con (where I was just at) and doing another BOTton giveaway soon.
Again, big apologies for keeping you waiting on bot’s journey through the Rabbit Cave while under the influence of some questionable tea but with any luck, that journey will continue next Tuesday with the 554th JEFbot comic strip: Life, The BOTiverse and Everything. Hope to see you then!
Also, because of my absence the past few weeks, I’m extending the 6 Years of BOT 33% Off Sale in The BOTshop through the end of the month. So if there’s been some BOTmerch you’ve had your eye on but haven’t committed yet, you still have a few days! Just use the “6YEARSOFBOT“ coupon code during checkout before October 1st to get in on the deal. Click here for details / Click here for The BOTshop.
I’m sooo happy it’s coming back… my life has had no meaning without know what is happening on that cave!!! hahaha
HA! explanations are forthcoming, f_f. thanks for keeping the enthusiasm alive! 😀
I can’t wait for next Tuesday, I must say. 😀
woo! almost here, Blunz!
Yay good to know that you had good cons though. Have a good weekend!
thanks, Kris! yep, the cons were great. can’t wait for next year!
Oh good, I was beginning to wonder if you’d gotten stranded in Portland.
heheh. while there was a sake-soaked night of karaoke at the end there, i did manage to make it out of portland in one piece, E. A. 🙂
FINALLY! Questionable Content is good, but I much prefer reading JEFBOT
awwww…. thanks, JGT! i hold QC in the highest of regards so that’s quite a compliment! 😀
YAY!!! so happy to hear that you’ll be back. this comic is the highlight of my tuesday/friday reading.
big thanks, Alondite! with any luck, i’ll be serving up some tuesday/friday goodness uninterrupted through the end of the year!
After a month a scary giant rabbit giving me the shivers I can finally be free of it!
…
right?
ha! that’s one of the reasons i did this post with the jefbot sketch, GB – i didn’t want you guys to have to keep looking at the same scary Cave Rabbit image whenever you loaded the page. 😉
IT LIVES!
thank gosh. I dont think I could handle another one of my favourite webcomics to disappear (I have some bad experience with things like that TAT)
#DressesAreStupid *It LIVES!* had me in giggles. And full agreement on webcomics abruptly stoping. Not that I blame the artists for not continuing their non-profit activity that takes a huge chunks of their free time to do, but I miss their work, damn it.
Yeah, I understand that they have lives outside of their webcomics, but they could at least warn their readers instead of just being all like *I’ll be back soon with regular updates* and then you check back in a couple of weeks and there is nothing.
A BIG THANK YOU TO JEFBOT FOR THIS UPDATE! YOU HAVE SAVED MY WEEKEND AND PART OF MY FAITH IN HUMANITY.
🙂 one more day!
yeah, i’ve never understood the artists that just pull up stakes and move on without giving their readers notice or catharsis, Maryz and DAS. i’ve literally gone to sites i’ve frequented and gotten a “this site no longer exists” notice with no explanation or forewarning whatsoever. i would never do that.
sorry to keep you waiting so long, DAS – i didn’t want you guys thinking i’d just vanished. i, too, have experienced “disappearing webcomics syndrome” with some of my fave comics and i can assure you that (should JEFbot ever come to an end) i’d have a real conclusion and wouldn’t just pull the plug on y’all.
This is why I love this comic and also a few others. The relationship between an artist and hi/her audience is very important.
(also, thanks to the slight lack of comics, I discovered tumblr. Thank you and curse youuu!)
Looking forward to U coming back.

thanks, Maryz! i’m looking forward to BEING back! i’ll be pretty much drawing all day today so i can finally start new strips again tomorrow! 🙂
Cool beans, Bot! Get your rest groove on, then dazzle us with your brilliance. Or baffle us with your B.S., either way…
i think i’m about 90% caught up on everything and 80% recuperated from the conventions, Oz. i’ve cleared today to devote to JEFbot and that’s it, so new strip (and B.S.!) tomorrow! 😉
Great drawing!!! I need more jefbot updates the comic is cool
