FREE JEFBOT.Oasis Wallpaper!
Sunday, August 30th, 2009Peeps on the JEFbot Mailing List got this early, but now that it’s out for mass consumption, what better way to celebrate the last few weeks of summer than with a summer-y JEFbot wallpaper adorning your desktop? Okay, yes, hanging out poolside in the actual sun with a drink in hand would be a better way, but can you capture that and put it on your computer? Again, okay, technically, if a friend takes a picture, that would capture it for your computer, but I digress. This way’s quicker and easier and won’t cost you the amount of a Dr. Pepper or Corona. So there.
Enjoy!
All the standard sizes are below, but if you need something special, just let me know. Speaking of special, if you’re rockin’ a PSP, notice that there’s a PSP version of the wallpaper below, which makes complete sense since jefbot is actually playing one in the image, and is something that I should’ve instinctively thought about while I was drawing it up. Didn’t happen, though. Thanks to reader CheddarMan for the idea. And thanks to all the other readers who either commented or emailed me requesting this strip be turned into a wallpaper!

Sorry for the lack of a strip last Friday; I was giving myself Thursday off to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family, and had every intention of working on JEFbot the next day and posting the strip late. When I tried powering up my MacBook Pro Friday afternoon, however, I found that one of its internal fans had died during my turkey binge. I immediately called the closest Apple Store, and, after being on hold for quite some time (due, no doubt, to the Black Friday sales going on) I was told that I would need to make an appointment and drop my computer off, and might need to leave it with them for 2-3 weeks, possibly longer. Since I don’t have a back-up computer, I really needed a fix right away, so started calling computer shops around town to find the fan. I didn’t find a shop that had the correct part (and was open for business) until Saturday afternoon. So, after I procured the part, I ended up spending the rest of the afternoon taking apart my laptop and replacing the fan (with the help of an online video that I followed along with on my iPad.)
