New Growler Type! Well, I guess we did get a peek at her in this strip a while back, but just barely. Things don’t look so good for bot at the moment but let’s hope he can get it together before he gets severely punctured (or profusely slobbered on.) Maybe Mu can give him a few bokken lessons if they get back from this adventure more or less intact?
Seeing as how I’ve normally had giant gaps in getting comics posted, I was happy to get this strip up in a relatively short amount of time, especially with how busy things have been lately (working on 3 gigs concurrently right now.) That said, it’s looking like I’ll be able to deliver another strip next week, so keep an eye out!
YIKES I’d be scared out of my mind if I was not!
*bot
after all bot’s been through on this trip, he might be a little shell-shocked at this point. …or a little braver? maybe both, but he better figure it out soon, before he becomes lunch!
and check you out – you just achieved the Shades of Firsting! nice job, ROM! when’s the last time that happened!? regardless, wear them well: these were forged to shield you from any “CHOMPS!” aimed at your face: 😎
WHOA?! IT’S BEEN MAYBE LIKE A FEW YEARS??
Nice, I’ve been getting quite a few chomps from my new cats hihi
I have my faith set on bot toughening up!
He’s had a few years to get things straight HAHA
well, these Shades will definitely keep your face safe from the kitties, ROM! 😉
and i like your logic: maybe bot was able to hone his fighting skills being in webcomic limbo all these years! heheh.
As someone who has been attacked by a German shepherd in the past, I can say good form on the defense bot!
true that, F_f! hope you weren’t badly injured from the attack. i was bitten – on the face – by a dog when i was a kid, and i still kinda flinch when a dog gets too close to my head. my best friend in high school was also bitten on the face and still has the scars.
G.I. Joe tip: dogs want to eat your face.
For me it was the shoulder, he clung on to me hard and dragged me.. To this day it is the only time I’ve ever had to punch a dog in the face (hope I never have to again)
Worse part is after he let go and left me bleeding, all I could think about was that I felt bad for punching it haha
i know what you mean, F_f – i feel badly whenever i see animals being mistreated and i try never to mistreat them, myself. i think in your case it was justified, though, but i get it!
Lovely colors!
thanks, Ian C.! i swear coloring takes up 80% of the time to make these strips. need to figure out a faster way to do it!
Oh noooooo
don’t despair, dj! this isn’t the end… yet.
Oh hey! I didn’t realize you’d started posting these again! I’ve thought back on this story many times in the past four years – I’m super happy to see it continuing! Yours was one of the first web comics I ever followed, so I’m thrilled to have hope at seeing this particular storyline through to the end. 🙂
hey, ZAD-Man! happy to see you back here! yeah, started posting again, but only sporadically. that’s amazing this comic was one of the first you followed – i’m honored! i’m definitely going to see this story through to the end, but it’s going to take a while, as life and other jobs vie for my time. but when i can get a comic out, i will! thanks for sticking with it. 😀
YAY!!
WOO!
Insert joke about jackals here.
maybe bot will deliver a witty one-liner if he gets out of this, Bluman08!
Remember the Lion King, Bot! Let Scar’s… er… “the doggy’s” own momentum take her over the cliff.
good advice, Fieger! bot has definitely seen the Lion King countless times so maybe some of it has rubbed off on him.
Y’know, between the previous strip and this one, I didn’t realize just how much I missed your chaotic fight choreography, ‘bot.
aWwwWww, thanks, JOE! i missed drawing that stuff. i mean, ya can’t have a samurai mutant hamster, and not draw him kickin’ butt, right? and speaking of butts, you better hold onto yours, ‘cuz there’s more fightin’ to come, SOON! 😀
I don’t like big dogs and poor Jefbot. He maybe sidesteps too so his attacker goes over the edge and not him.
yeah, big dogs can be a bit scary, Kris. especially big, mutant, slobbery, monster dogs! let’s hope bot knows that sidestep move.
YAY, new comics!
P.S. “nice doggy”? I could go along with “who’s a good boy”, but “nice”? 😉
yay!
and, ha! maybe next time bot will carry around some Scooby Snacks for this kind of situation, Armando. 😉
