JEFBOT.38_Parachutes

jefbot38_stampKnow that the only thing preventing my sister Linda from booking Ted and I on a skydiving flight for our birthdays this year was because, after finding a cheap company with such flights at Costco(!) of all places, she found the company went bankrupt due to a lawsuit alleging wrongdoing and negligence, before she could buy the tickets. Now, first of all, when looking to jump out of a plane at 14,000 feet so as to plummet to the ground at 115 mph, the last thing I want to do is find the company that’s going to make that happen on the cheap. In fact, like most people, I’d pay more to increase the odds that I’m going to survive once I exit the plane. Second of all, why she wants Ted and I to celebrate our birthdays by having a near-death experience seems to defeat the purpose of the celebration. Needless to say, birthday festivities were taken out of Linda’s hands and now we’re going to celebrate by doing something less dangerous, such as dinner at a restaurant, like normal people.

Happy Birthday, Ted!

  1. YAY!!! Happy Birthday, JEFbot and TEDbot!!! And welcome, Ted, to the crazy animated world of your bro-in-law. You look fantastic for a 50 year old cartoon. ;) I really love this one Mr. Bot. It makes me feel like you guys are really 30,000 feet up in the air, jumping out of a plane.

    I have a fourth panel in mind, though. It’s Linda holding both of your chutes in her hands as well as a pair of scissors. Ha!

    Great job once again, man.

  13. truebeliever says:

    I love your graphics, the last panel looks so cool. I feel like I’m jumping too.

  14. Lor says:

    I, too, hope Ted makes it to 60. How he’s made it this far is anybody’s guess. This is an hysterical strip, but so close to the truth it’s really not funny. Love the focus, as everyone else has mentioned. Happy Birthday to you and many more…

  15. Mitch says:

    #2 jefbot fan, :(

    akira, so sorry.

    funnyshaffer, glad you liked it! yeah, i’m sure i’ll continue to “jump.” she’s my sister. whatareyagonnado?

    fig, heheh. yeah, from my OTHER sister, whose intentions aren’t quite as lethal.

    jeff payton, thanks for noticing! i dig that effect, too.

    john, now that you’ve revealed her identity, you will be “erased.” and thanks for the luck – i’ll need it!

    mary, nothing, i swear! she’s just evil!!!

    anonymous, yes. glad you can laugh at the truth of it. sometimes i’m not sure whether to laugh or cry.

    anonymous, or quigley down under, possibly?

    truebeliever, thanks!!!

    lor, thanks for the bday wishes. i, too, would like to know ted’s survival techniques. could be useful in the future.
