JEFBOT.184_Left Behind
So there go the aliens. Will they be back? Who can say? (I can. They’ll be back.) And will jefbot and his hamster reestablish their bond now that the Cornfather has forsaken Musashi for the aliens? Who knows? (Yes.)
Poor Musashi; jilted for E.T. who is neither cute nor fuzzy.
ha! well, e.t.’s kinda cute, imho, Estiveo. at least on a movie screen.
musashi’s gonna have some ‘splainin’ to do about that past with a certain girl… ok ok, you’ve said you’d deal with that in time so i’ll quit bringing it up. i’m just very cuuuuuuuuriouuuuusssss! also interested to see these new alien folk when you introduce them. really enjoying the direction you’ve been heading as of late. in unrelated topics, what kind of distribution is planned for Grey Skies? any rumors of an eventual release date? i guess what i’m asking is, how will i be able to see it?
glad you’re diggin’ the current arc, Jed! and yes, eventually cel and mu’s relationship will be revealed (as will the aliens), but not for quite some time. i have some pretty cool stuff planned for the future though, and the elements introduced in this storyline will set the groundwork for it.
as for Grey Skies, post production probably won’t be finished until early 2010, and the producers will then probably show it off at festivals and screenings to get it out there, unless a distributor picks it up immediately. for sure i’ll keep you up to date on the film’s progress on the site when it goes to theaters, DVD, cable or (fingers crossed) all three! thanks for asking.
First? (Yeah, I know. Big F’in’ deal, right?)
Poor Musashi! I don’t think he’s sober enough for flying lessons just yet…
almost first, reynard61! and yeah, doesn’t it suck when you’re just settling into a pleasant buzz, and then someone chucks you in the air? i hate when that happens!
Hey Jeffbot-san, just posting my first coment
. Just finished watching the entire comic and it rules… you seem to have a hell of a fun family dude 
, keep up the good work and i hope to see you in a big blockbuster soon 
… good to see some old school game players like myself (my first comp was a 16k spectrum… good old times 
). Ill keep checking for updates. Btw Persona 3 rules 
… Sayonara
thanks for your comment, Violence Jack, and for going through the entire archive! i hope to see myself in a blockbuster soon, too.
and about my family: while there’s some stress and drama just like any family there’s a lot of fun and love there too, and i can honestly say the Schuetzes are never boring, heheh.
and yes, anyone who started on a 16k spectrum is welcome here.
my first computer was a commodore 64 but i used to mess around with TRS 80s and Apple IIs before then. and i haven’t even unwrapped Persona 3 & 4, yet. there’s just too much to play and not enough time!!!
welcome to JEFbot, VJ – i hope to see your comments in future strips!
Yay you got the new strip up! “Irradiamate” ?!? HAHAHAHAHA! You can just see CF’s wheels spinning inside his head after JB talks of flying all over the galaxy in an alien spaceship. I feel bad for Mu, because from the looks of it– he just got jilted into sobriety with CF running off into the night screaming.
I am with Jed on the whole Cel and how she knows Mu deal. I still think that sticker on her DS in the past strips is a symbol for Mu, but that’s merely my own observation. Another great one, sir! So looking forward to what you’re going to bring to the “table” with Friday’s strip. Halloween themed?
encountered a couple of obstacles, but finally got the strip up, spanks! and you noticed the “drunk” bubbles disappeared after Mu got catapulted there, didja? heheh. he definitely got jilted!
that sticker on cel’s DS does hold clues to her origin, but nothing that can be deciphered just yet…
and as far as friday’s strip goes, unfortunately, i can’t do a halloween strip since i’m in the middle of this storyline (which is a bit spooky anyway, heh), but i will be doing another “Christmas Bat” strip in december, so i hope that makes up for it a bit!
AWWWWW poor musashi T_T funny strip bot even if it was eons late
yes, poor musashi. hope he doesn’t get sick on bot’s shirt.
and after tuesday’s lateness (and because i’ve been a bit sleep-deprived, lately) i’m hell-bent on getting friday’s strip up at a decent hour!
Ha! Love it, bot. Really funny. The background is gorgeous. I also love the expressions on jefbot and the cornfather’s face. The punchline is hysterical. It’d be funnier if it wasn’t true.
heheh. well, the next time a UFO comes around i’ll know to volunteer you for abduction, first. unless they look like the scary aliens from Grey Skies.
Niftipitated. Now for some thinking about Halloween possibilities.
yesh! itsh time for shome tricksh un treatsh, Drakeys!
Poor Musashi, getting ditched like that. ^^
Regarding ‘will they be back’, well maybe they are just still around.
yes. the cornfather’s mean. who could toss mu away like that!?
and you just might have a point there about the aliens still being around, Cemalidor…
I kinda expected UFOs to go in oposite directions.
Poor Musashi, there is NO WAY he wont throw up now after being handled by CF like that.
Nice strip, but I object to CF accusations, there is nothing of concern to be wiped from human brains, there are enough skin related problems in human society without adding to it and most importantly, YOU dont want to probe certain body holes so what interest should WE have in them? How come we are so misunderstood… Ups.
Ehmmm…
Forget I said anything.
i might expect them to go in opposite directions too, Maryz, unless one is chasing the other, which i can neither confirm or deny.
and – ha! – i’ll pass along your objections to the cornfather himself. sorry to misunderstand you and your, um, “people.”
hahahhaaa….wait for me CF….wait for me
yeah, maybe mu wants to take a ride on a spaceship too, JF3!
This was a fun storyline, Jeff. Nice to go in a different direction once in a while.
thanks, Kev! yeah, it’s fun to change things up a bit now and then.
Ha! I love that he had to catch Musashi.
thanks, D.! yeah, jefbot’s quick, videogame-honed reflexes come in handy catching flying rodents on occasion.
You KNOW the Cornfather LOVES a good alien abduction! Awesome work Jefbot! …you never let me down!
yep! alien abductions in mar vista, ca or clare county, mi – it makes no difference, FunnyShaffer!
Hahaha–brilliant as always, Jeff.
thanks, man!
Musashi!!!!!! Nooooo!! Catch him, Jef! Catch him!!!
*cuddle with drunk Musashi*
*wears plastic apron just in case tiny hamster has digestive accidents*
Haha! Wow, how the interests are changed when properly expained XD Don’t push your luck, Michael. THEY might come back for you and you may not like it.
*evil laugh of doom*
ha! if i ever have a hamster again who needs to sober up (and i’m in puerto rico!), i’ll give you a call, Sonitan. heheh.
and yes, your warning for the cornfather is well put – the bad just might outweigh the good if those aliens turn around and pick him up.
*clear throat*
In a galaxy, far, far away…..
Corn Father is crying for not thinking ahead.
ha! that would be awesome, ZL! cut to the Cornfather in the next strip, imprisoned in some intergalactic zoo. heheh.
emaciated…
atrophied…
wait, what?
Too bad they didn’t get abducted. What an adventure that woulda been.
maybe someday, sis.
*snoopy dance* Another Christmas Bat strip! Awesome! So looking forward to that now as well!
yep! CHRISTMAS BAT!!!
Oh Oh! CF better be careful with showing his crack in that last panel!
ha! was wondering when someone was gonna notice that, Spanks!
^^ Guess i’m too much a paranoid RPG player to suspect otherwise (regarding at least some ‘aliens’ still being around).
being a “paranoid RPG player” has taught me many lessons in life, Cemalidor. so keep your paranoia flowing!!!
1st off, Love the netcomix you have going.
2nd. WTF is an ostrich jockey?
1st) thanks, grishna! you rock.
2nd) good question. for a japanese commercial i had to ride on an ostrich. not fun, but at least it’s a fun bullet point to have on my resume.
