JEFBOT.115_Makura
In order for a “fart joke” to be valid, does an actual fart need to have occurred? In-panel? Well, it’s been 115 strips folks, and this is the closest I’ve come to a “fart joke” in JEFbot, so enjoy it! I’ll try and get around to a proper one in the next hundred or so strips.
Oh, and yes, I did get pink eye, or something like it, last week. And since I haven’t had make-up on since Halloween, and have no idea how I got it, my roommate is still a suspect.
Long time reader.
First time commenter.
And it must be said: I love the first panel. My addiction to weird things could NOT have been fed better. For the day.
Also, short story: I once got an eye infection like that and FORGOT, so when I went to school the next morning and my teacher asked me what happened to me, I told her I was tired. She wrote me a note to go to the nurses office and sleep the whole period. Best eye infection I’ve ever had.
thanks for the long-time reading and for the comment, Takla! i tried using your “tired” excuse at work, hoping they’d send me home, but my boss was unsympathetic. i’m thinking about wiping infected eye juice on his office door knob.
Oh you got me laughing my fool head off! There’s just nothing better than gross-outs and fart jokes. The first frame is soo cool!
i love that “ren and stimpy” humor, too, Milas! that first panel’s definitely inspired by john kricfalusi’s awesome ‘toon!
Not to add to the grossness but I have a toddler who was prone to getting pink eye infections. I couldn’t figure out how he was getting them since no one around him had an infection but the doctor said he was probably giving it to himself – by wiping his nose and then rubbing his eyes! Wash your hands, boys!
thanks for the hygiene tip, Zanne! and at least it was his nose he was wiping before touching his eyes. could’ve been much, much, worse!
(Here’s the geek coming out in me.)That looks like the Eye Of Sauron! (Only crustier.) Yet another amazing strip, Jeffbot. I absolutely love the action (with sound!) happening in the last panel, Cornfather never saw that one coming!
And hmm.. with you being sick, that pink eye could either be viral or bacterial, which would mean it stemmed from that cold that kicked your bum earlier last week. But then again, you never know.. the roomie just might have had a hand in it all along. *DUN DUN DUN*
as long as it doesn’t become the “Eyes” of Sauron, i’ll be happy, Spanky! so far, it has remained contained in my right eye, and the “pinkness” went away after a couple days and no one else i know has become infected, so i think it was bacterial (hopefully). and yeah, if it was my roommate who caused the outbreak, you’re right that i’ll never know, ‘cuz he ain’t talking!
fantastic first panel! freaking gross, but i still love it.
and “wump!”–made me lol.
i’m actually starting to feel sorry for the cornfather at this point, though.
glad you’re loving the grossness and the “wump”, abbie! heheh. almost had the pillow make a “whomp” sound but “wump” just sounded more muffled and funnier to me.
and yeah, i think both sides have taken enough damage for now, and it’s time to call a truce.
“Man Martin got it bad!” “No, no pink eye here, just…really…hiiiiiiigggghhhh”
ha! man, i love those apatow guys, jh3! that scene’s hiLARious.
once again, great comic! one thing though, in the first panel it looks like your left eye is angry and pink, but for the rest of the strip its your right… maybe you were looking in a mirror? pink eye sucks though, best of luck!
good eye (*bad* pun intended), nimrod! – jefbot is indeed looking in a mirror to see all that gunk in his eye, which makes for the reverse image in the first panel. thought about drawing it with the pulling camera pulled out to show the border of the mirror, but i decided the closer and nastier, the better. heheh.
Brilliant work. Although if the Cornfather farted on your pillow to give you pink eye, I’m not sure what he did to get the rest of you so sick. I imagine maybe some Trainspotting-like grossness.
ugh… some questions are best left unanswered, PTG. *shudder*
that pink eye panel made my eyes water.
heheh. mission accomplished, then!
He’s evil, that Cornfather – definitely not to be trusted, especially where his farts are concerned. I know first hand.
thanks for the comment, Shana! sadly, it’s very true and i’m so sorry you have that first hand knowledge.
nice depiction of pink eye! very detailed… made me wanna throw up a little!
sweet! thanks, Amber – another satisfied customer!
Panel 1 – Stunning work. Your talent makes me hate myself a little.
heheh. thanks, eleventeen. drawing gross, sickening things, that people don’t want to look at just comes naturally to me.
an eye for an eye…
yup.
Oh, Jeff… it’s a slippery slope. First fart humor, then poop humor… I will warn you in advance.
i guess that means i gotta start writing those poop jokes!
Great googly moogly!
ha! i think that’s exactly what i said when i saw my eye the other day, Foxmouse!
Bad roommate, bad!
“bad” is right, Rachel! sometimes i think i need a spray bottle to squirt him when he misbehaves.
DISGUSTING!!!! I love it.
Really funny, bot. The first panel is so gross it’s wonderful. Great detail and coloring. I still don’t believe you can get pink eye from a pillow that has been farted on. And I still don’t think you got pink eye. And I KNOW I didn’t fart on your pillow. I think your eye turned pink from the alien chip that was placed in you when last you were abducted back in 1983. They turned it on…what else will turn pink? Hmmmmm?
besides the fact that it happened in “knocked up,” i found other stories about it on the internet, so it MUST be true!
W-O-W :-0 The Cornfather really went too “fart” with that one… Nice detail Jefbot!!!
ouch, Jeff! that was quite the “stinker.” *groan*
as a medical professional I must say that is an excellent depiction of pink eye – gross! Great strip and I always love a fart joke
thanks, Nurse Mary! now how can i get rid of it more quickly?
I scream! you scream! We all scream with Eye Scream!
thanks for the link, reynard61. someone giving you pink eye by farting on your pillow definitely fits into the whole “primal fear” motif!
funny! funny! funny!
glad you liked it, seth6!
now that is entertainment
sometimes people just need a big, heaping pile of conjunctivitis to be entertained, JF3! and i’m more than happy to oblige.
That first panel is repulsive and awesome all at the same time
yeah, when it happened to my own eye, it was just repulsive, really.
Oh, God! It’s horrific, the first panel. Wump! is right.
Ew Dx I don’t like the first panel xD
My mom and Granny used to have some kind of ointment that they’d put in my eye if I contracted pinkeye. it was great because I could play staredown and never lose…you could keep your eye open for like 15 mins with that crap in there. it also cleared up the pinkeye in a day or two. Can’t remember for the life of me what that stuff’s called though.
Great strip bot! Love the “Crusty Eye of Sauron”
you need to find out what that ointment was, Eptha! i want to win staring contents for the rest of my life!!!
late again
That is soooooo sick and wrong! I LOVE it!!!
