JEFBOT.98_Chain Reaction

A couple strips back I promised I wouldn’t have Xinda, “punching, kicking, spraying, poking, stomping or stabbing anything or anyone,” for a while. Well, doing what she does in this strip doesn’t count as any of those things, so I figured it was fair game. Besides, I felt this was a cautionary tale that needed to be told. You might think that puking into someone else’s napkin and then putting it back (even accidentally) would be something that everybody knows instinctively not to do. You’d be wrong. Welcome to the Schuetze Family Thanksgiving Dinner of 2007.

    You had to be there.. or maybe lucky that you weren’t. :)

  2. shootzee

    yes, i think it’s better that the readers weren’t there! from the look of these comments, seeing it in comic form is bad enough!!!

  3. eleventeen

    If I didn’t have a steel stomach, i think I may have hurled at that. Loved the depth of field with the turkey - and the gravy boat is a really nice touch. As always, sir, well played.

  4. shootzee

    thanks, eleventeen. glad there was no hurling.

  5. Spanky McBubbles

    Oh wow. This is pure gold. (And quite gross all at the same time. Good times.

  6. shootzee

    heh. thanks, Spanky. “pure gold” and “quite gross” - it’s not every day that both of those terms are used to describe the same strip. i’ll take it!

  7. TomixComics

    oh my gosh… no way did that really happen…

    Ew. Ew. Ew.

    *Read this while eating dinner*

  8. shootzee

    sorry about that, Tomix. i probably should have put a disclaimer telling readers “Do Not Read While Eating!” and unfortunately, yes, it did happen.

  9. xinda

    I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!! YOU PROMISED!!!!!!!!!

  10. shootzee

    there were no promises about “vomit” being off limits!

  11. Wraith

    Oh goodness. I laughed so hard.
    This made my day.
    What a horrific experience.

  12. shootzee

    horrific indeed, wraith. imagine how my brother-in-law, ted, feels.

  13. seth6

    On the last panel that guys mouth looks like something gross!

  14. shootzee

    well, if you define someone else’s vomit on your own mouth as “gross” then yeah, you’ve got a point, seth6.

  15. jhorsley3

    haha now THAT is funny!

  16. shootzee

    heheh. figures you’d like this one, jhorsley3. :)

  17. CitizenJed

    I.. oh. oh my no. oh god…. BLLEEAAUUUGH!!!!

    Hilarious.

  18. CitizenJed

    also, your sister seem awfully thrilled that you posted this. classic brother move! but watch your back in the next few weeks…

  19. shootzee

    i love that in your comment you threw up, but still thought it was funny, CitizenJed. heheh. and as you can guess, around linda, i’m always watching my back!

  20. Michael Cornacchia

    I just threw up my entire Thanksgiving dinner from yesterday…. Somehow, I think that’s a compliment to your strip, bot. Wait, I have to go and throw up again…..

  21. shootzee

    throwing up once is quite a compliment, Michael, but throwing up twice!? - that’s just humbling.

  22. Shan

    Oh my god! That’s horrible! I hope your sister is feeling better. I hope everyone is. :P

  23. shootzee

    i don’t think we’ll ever feel better, shan. ever.

  24. funnyshaffer

    THAT IS DISGUSTING!!! GROSS, FOWL, and JUST NASTY!!! Very nicely captured Jefbot. I felt the chunks well up in my own throat!

  25. shootzee

    ooOOoh! chunks, even!!!

  26. Patrick T. Gorman

    The most disgustingly brilliant strip yet. It will haunt me forever.

  27. shootzee

    ha! “disgustingly brilliant” - i may have to use that on the cover of the JEFbot book. thanks, PTG!

  28. Jazzy K

    mann, that is SICK!
    Thanks, now i cant finish my stick of bueno chocolate =_=.

  29. shootzee

    again, yeah, sorry, Jazzy K. i guess i need another disclaimer: “Do Not Read While Eating Bueno Chocolate.”

  30. Mr Mojo

    Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
    ><
    X

  31. shootzee

    i admit this strip does deserve all those w’s, Mr Mojo.

  32. hanakitsunechan7

    Ewww, that looks absolutely GROSS, yet really cool. I hope everyone’s all better and isn’t throwing up anymore. The orange stuff on that dude’s face looks like it’s ALIVE!, or at least bubbling.

    Since your sister sounds absolutely THRILLED that you posted this, I suggest you become a diglet hobo and avoid your town like the plague until Christmas Eve.

  33. shootzee

    this actually happened last year, hanakitsunechan7, so we were all on our toes this thanksgiving. also, i like your suggestion, but i might actually have to become a dugtrio, so i can watch my back!

  34. Lor

    This year I kept hold of my napkin throughout dinner. Great strip, but in real life it was not funny. Nice how you can look back on it and laugh. I’m sure Ted still can’t . Poor Ted. Too bad I couldn’t keep hold of my Pom. Martini. “Someone” had their lips on it.

  35. Natalie

    Ew, that’s gross x_x

  36. JEFBOT Webcomic : Updates Every Tuesday and Friday » Archive » JEFBOT.100_The Training Begins

    [...] emails and suggestions on “How to Burp” you readers have been sending me since the last strip. My throat has been feeling a bit weird lately, kind of like I have something stuck in it, either [...]

  37. JefbotFan#300
