Although Fig, C-shel and Z exist in the real world, to say whether or not they exist in jefbot’s world or really are just figments of his imagination would be too easy.

I’ve been meaning to put out a JEFbot wallpaper for several months now and due to a couple requests and some nice comments about JEFBOT.157 from some of you gamers out there, I finally put one together and made it available for download below! If you need a different resolution, just shoot me an email or leave a comment with the size you’d like. I’m also thinking a BOTton with this image would be a good idea, so let me know if you think so too, and i’ll make it happen.

FINAL UPDATE: The offer of Free Shipping + #150 Anniversary BOTton for the month of June is now expired. A big thanks to everybody who made this sale such a success by ordering a shirt!
–
Yep, get free shipping (a $4 value!) on any t-shirt in the botSHOP during the month of June in the U.S. and Canada! And as a bonus, I’ll throw in a free #150 Anniversary BOTton with your purchase. Should you win the contest I’m running this month, you can have a different BOTton of your choosing.
New to the site is the black version of the All Dysfunctions Normal tee. These are extremely limited in quantity, so if you wanted this design in black, now’s the time to pick one up!
–
UPDATE: the Small and Medium sizes of the black ADN tee are now sold out and the Larges are nearing depletion.
THE CONTEST IS OVER!
July is here and the contest is now closed! This weekend, with the help of Mombot and perhaps one of the sisterlings, I’ll be drawing ten names out of a hat for the general contest and five names for the mailing-list-peeps-only contest and report the winners of the #150 Anniversary BOTtons next week. Good luck and thanks to everybody who participated!

JEFbot has just passed 150 strips!!! To celebrate, I created a special BOTton (click on the image to the left to see a close up) with jefbot, his fighting ferret Abraxas, and his shirt emblazoned with a “150″ instead of his trusty “6″ logo. I’m only printing 150 of these special pins, 10 of which I’m giving away in the following contest:
CONTEST RULES
This one’s my easiest contest yet: all you have to do is leave a comment on any blog or comic strip during the month of June, with your valid email address in the email field (otherwise I can’t contact you should you win). You can even leave a comment on this blog post if you like. For every June comic or post you leave a comment on, I’ll put your name in the hat for the random drawing of 10 lucky winners in July. Note it’s not every comment but every post you leave a comment on, so don’t be going crazy leaving multiple comments in every single post (unless the mood strikes you), as it won’t help your chances. As you can tell from this system, many of you regular commenters are already way ahead of the game!!!
So that’s it: leave a comment with your email address in the email field of any June blog post or comic strip and you’ll automatically be entered to win a #150 Anniversary BOTton! Good luck!
MORE CHANCES TO WIN
I’m also giving away five additional BOTtons to random people on the JEFbot Mailing List. If you’re on the mailing list, you’ve already been entered. If you’re not on the mailing list, it’s not too late! Just subscribe before the end of June by clicking the following link: Assimilate me! You’ll be entered into the drawing just for being on the list! Easy peasy.
If you live in Los Angeles and need some tech help, I thought I’d pass along the name “Matthew Arevalo” to you. He’s a buddy of mine that specializes in “Providing professional services to the creative community.” He’s a certified Mac guy, but can help you with all your Windows needs too, since he speaks multi-platform.
I can vouch for him as he has graciously hosted this site for the past year and a half with few hiccups, and also helped me procure some equipment I use daily to produce the JEFbot strips you see each week. Plus, he and I have hung out and had sushi and beer together, so you know he’s good people.

Check out the guest strip I cooked up for my friends over at nemu*nemu this week by clicking here!
This strip was inspired by the art and humor of what is probably my favorite nemu*nemu strip, Brain Surgeon. Plus, I couldn’t resist drawing my favorite character, Anpan, in his lab a la Dexter’s Laboratory (one of my favorite cartoons) and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (one of my favorite musicals). So definitely check that out along with the rest of the nemu*nemu archives: it skews a bit younger than JEFbot, but the work Kyubikitsy (aka Audra Furuichi) and KimonoStereo (aka Scott Yoshinaga) are doing over there has made it one of my favorite comics on the web.
And since you’re going to be over there already, might as well check out the nemu guest strip I did last October, Flower Power.
Thankfully, I was able to sleep in a bit on Sunday, since the planners of the Webcomics Weekend wisely took into account all the partying going on the night before and didn’t schedule the Eastworks building to open until noon. I was able to wake up, shower, get all my stuff packed and in my car and even sit down to a complimentary breakfast of do-it-yourself waffles before I checked out of my hotel and drove over to Easthampton.
Most of the day was spent walking around, talking to new friends and readers, and basically hitting all the things I wasn’t able to see the day before when most of my day was occupied by the panels. This included visiting rooms which held stuff like the Infinite Canvas Post-It Jam, which was a tongue-in-cheek way of exploring an infinite canvas, the idea that, theoretically, webcomics have no size limit, and can be expanded on in any direction within a browser window. Many, many people took up the challenge and took advantage of the post-its and pens provided, including myself. Neat idea. Adjacent to this room was a gallery of original art done by several top webcartoonists, and I constantly had to stop myself from buying anything (including an original Octopus Pie strip I still want) due to the expense of the art and the difficulty of taking some of the pieces on the plane. I wasn’t able to stay for the closing ceremonies, as I had to get back to the airport to catch my flight back to L.A., but it was a short, relaxing day, and was a nice wrap-up to the weekend as I got to hang a bit with some other webcomic writers and artists again, and did a few more sketches and handed out pins for JEFbot fans.
Now, did the weekend really live up to being the “Woodstock of Webcomics” or, “Webstock” as many have been saying? I suppose time will tell, but being in the middle of all the excitement and energy of the hundreds of creators and fans there, I’d have to say, “Yes.” It really did feel like an important movement was underway and that all of us there were a part of it. And with its success, I can only assume the organizers will be doing another one next year, which I’m sure will be bigger and (perhaps) better, and I know I’ll be back at some point. I can see the NEWW becoming the San Diego Comic Con of webcomics, so I’ll be cherishing memories from this event for a long time. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if many of us will be saying to people in years to come, “I was there, at the very first NEWW. And it was awesome.”
Lastly, I wanted to thank all the JEFbot fans who came to the show and asked for a sketch or pin, or just wanted to talk with me about the strip - beyond all the panels and galleries and pub crawls and peer meetings, you guys really made this weekend for me. It’s the same with the readers who take the time to leave comments or email me: all you guys make doing JEFbot so much more fun and worth all the time and effort it takes to write and draw it. Thanks!
