JEFBOT.201_The Christmas Bat III_part 1 of 2
Strip’s up! Sorry if you came to the site on Christmas Day or over the weekend and saw this. Good news is, I think today’s JEFbot is the biggest strip yet! What started as something comparable to last year’s Christmas Bat poem turned into something at least twice that size, so instead of one monster strip, I’ve split it into two, the second part of which will be out on Tuesday.
I hope you all had a great time over the holiday and are still in a festive mood! Can we just pretend, and consider this an attempt to extend the Most Wonderful Time of the Year?
Oh, and if you’re not familiar with the tradition of The Christmas Bat (is this really the 3rd year our one-eyed friend has appeared?), check these past strips out:
• The Christmas Bat
• The Christmas Bat II
I’ll be back!
Merry Christmas, everyone!
thanks, Mombot! and thanks for such a great Christmas this year, too. (i know: awwww!!!)
Merry Christmas Jefbot and Friends/Family/Flying Mammals! I got an iPod Nano…and I’m pretty sure this thing is the devil.
ooOOoh. new iPod nano. how’s the camera on that thing, Ahero? i need a new iPod; my 60gb classic is almost five years old now and is maxed out. i also don’t use my iPhone for music. and yes: they are the devil.
Oh, the video camera is great, I just wish I could take pictures…And the reason for it being the devil is I hate hate hate how complicated iTunes can be, since I just got it for the first time and its not very new-user friendly. (Yes, this is my first iPod too. -is way behind, music player wise-) I’m getting the hang of it though. Great strip by the way, its huge, so definitely worth the wait! Can’t wait for part two, and its almost new years. ;D parrtayy.
parrtay! yeah, iTunes is not the most elegant piece of software, but it gets easier the more you use it. thanks for the kudos!
That’s okay, I can wait. *noshes on the cookies*
hey! you ate all my cookies, reynard61! just like The Christmas Bat. hmph.
Lovin’ the Christmas Bat poem, Jeff! BTW: If you ever do a live-action version of it, Johnny Depp would be perfect as Gustav von Drom.
ha! totally, reynard61! now if i just had his agent’s number…
Ooo, don’t mind if I do! *omnoms on cookies getting chocolate on her face* The true meaning of Christmas: Sharing irresistible baked goods.
Merry Christmas, everyone! <3
i guess reynard61 did leave some cookies on that plate, Foxmouse. gotta love them baked goods.
hope you had a very merry christmas, too!
Merry Christmas Mr. Jeff, and to everyone else as well! And yes, I will be looking forward to what you have in store for your faithful followers this weekend! Could really go for one of those cookies up top there myself!
better get one quick, Spanky! they’re going fast!!!
the strip’s finally up. hope you like! merry (belated) christmas!
Was gone for the week, and came back to a huge strip. Wow, Jeff, you really outdid yourself and I am enjoying this one a ton!
this sucks! I needed, counted on this strip, its the only thing keeping me going! now my christmas is ruined….. :0…..
ps. those cookies suck…
sorry for ruining your christmas, maleficent. hope the big strip somewhat makes up for it.
It totally did! I love this!! It’s great, beautiful, sublime, super fantastica, the colors, the story. I love how it rhymes! I can’t wait for 2 of 2. I’m sure it’ll be the best of all time.
i thought you might like this one, maleficent.
eh, you go be with yer family, we’ll go be with all of ours. we can wait. wishing you, and everyone here a Retroactive Merry Christmas!
thanks, and merry retroactive christmas back atcha, Jed! hope you had a fun one!
Now I I am hearing “Its Christmas at ground zero” in my head
ahhh, cookies!
Well now I’m hungry.
Merry Christmas people who read this!
*runs away*
come back, Zolen! hope you got those cookies you were craving. heheh.
I shall *gets out map to cookie mountain*
By the way nice comic, yet I can’t help but when I look at that image of the map like its like looking at a world map at japan. XP
weird. it does kinda look like Japan, Z! but i drew the map based on a map of the real north pole so, go figure.
I knew it! That’s how japan makes all those games, Santa helping them!
diabolical!
merry xmas JB…even bots need to take a break sometime….i’ll post something probably new for u and all of fellow JeffBot fans out there in the next few days….if i can get a good signal here that is…merry xmas spanky, reynard, and to all the other good botfriends..may your holiday be filled with joy….remember to drink responsibly too
yep, always a good tip to drink responsibly, JF3, especially with all those crazies out there during holidays. wishing you a holiday season willed with joy (and a strong signal!) too, man!
Mmmm. Cookies.
you know what was good? that soup and cake you made. mmm, mmm!
Jeff, hope you had a good Christmas. I don’t think any of us should really have expected you to get a strip out just like that.
You didn’t say “aren’t”, so you did expect it anyways. It’s just a fact. I do hope that at least we’ll get a consolation strip for New Years. Well, that hope is strong amongst all your fans, so please try no to let them down, k?
That was simply poor wording. If you want me to clarify, then you need to have an enormous sense of entitlement to expect someone to cater to the internet even during Christmas.
thanks for the understanding, Kerubim. if i had just stuck with a less time-consuming strip, i could’ve gotten it out in time for christmas! ah, well. lesson learned for next year.
Im back and waiting for next strip! I looooove cookies. I will risk a guess and claim these werent baked by you Jefbot but by Mombot. Am I right?
PS: Christmas was fun, family was great and it looks like new years eve will be even better for bunch of cool, geeky and even some normal people will be comming over to my place for a countdown party. Hope everyone is going to have as good time as me during this time of year! Cheers!
heheh. actually baked by the internet gnomes that work for Google Images, Maryz. heheh.
i’m glad you had a great christmas and yeah, with a geeky get-together planned it sounds like you’re set for a happy new year!!!
OMG! What a strip!
It was well worth the wait. You’ve outdone yourself!
ha! thanks for waiting and the kudos, #1!
Beautiful artwork, once again!
thanks, Stan!
OMG!!! This is AMAZING! You are so talented, I don’t even know where to start!!! Beautiful artwork, awesome story.
You inspire me! Love it Jefbot!
aw, shucks. thanks for the kind words, Funnyshaffer! really happy you liked it so much.
WOW! simply…WOW! You are a Christmas Miracle, bot. This is amazing.
ha! thanks, dude.
How come you yanks are insisting that santa would live in northpole?
It is common knowledge in europe that he lives in Lapland(northern Finland).
maybe there are two Santas, Jaeger!
you is crazy jaeger!
heheh. well, if there are two Santas, maybe we can lobby both for double the presents, bianca!
awesome writing + awesome art = A WINNER! man, love this!! well done, broheim!
big thanks for all the love and awesomeness, DR!
Merry Christmas Jeff! Even at age 16 it’s awesome to wake up at 6 in the morning to jump on the beds of everyone in the house yelling “It’s christmas!” the whole time too excited to care I’m still in my footy pajamas.
I got a cellphone, PSP, and a Belkin Speedpad N52 tournament edition for Christmas.
This was also the first year I did my Christmas shopping on my own. West Ed is crazy before Christmas. I got offered “Purple haze” by some random guy getting off the bus and had to fight for a DVD set my mom wanted(last one).
ha! glad you’re so into the holiday spirit, Kenshi. merry (belated) christmas!!!
and, ooh, awesome gifts. what are you gonna play on that PSP? the only gaming i’ve had time for lately is a bit of Pokemon on my DS here and there.
glad you survived christmas shopping. nice of you to fight for that DVD set for your mom!
