Jeez, ChuckleBot is creepy.

HE'S TRYING TO GET INSIDE YOUR BED, YOU KNOW?

That is the worst possible way to wake up.


OH MY GOD THEY'RE SO FAST

rated a 5 for that phrase.

Alligators can run up to 30 miles per hour (38 kph) for short distances!


Fuck, really? That's genuinely terrifying.

All mowing you down at 30mph.

They can't really change directions, though. You can outrun them by zigzagging.

I tell you this in case you ever visit New York.

One time when I was drunk in England I was walking down a country road in the middle of the night with my professor, who was also drunk. It was fun but sort of spooky, so I said, "I wonder if there are any wild animals out here."

"Probably," he said.

"Think it's dangerous?"

"Dangerous?"

"Yeah, like... Hell, I don't know. Wolves or bears or something."

He thought for a while and said, "This is an island that has been highly populated and farmed for many centuries. There is not really any wild animal here that is much bigger than a pretty large dog."

And that was hilarious.

We did find some glow worms though, and that was cool.

Alien Big Cats are real...

I Think the last wild wolf in Britain was killed off in the late 1700s. Bears probably got wiped out around the same time.

And, as Mr Fry once informed me (he was looking right at me, dammit!), rabbits weren't a wild animal in Britain until around the 1800s. They were farmed in enclosures before that.

I love you Mr Fry.

Aight, link expired. This one isn't as authoritative, but you get the picture.

You are committed to getting the truth out, and I admire you for that.

That dream is so real.

What will you do when the metal ones come for you?

And when they grab you with those metal claws, you can't break free... because they're made of metal, and robots are strong.

And even if you can keep away, they have lasers on their heads!

Magnum PI to the rescue!

Yoshimi might be a better option...

'Cause she won't let those robots eat me.

I love pandora.com, without it I wouldn't understand anything you guys talk about :)

Reminds me of a late '90's SNL parody commercial for Robot Insurance...

That makes sense, since it's the dialogue from that very commercial.

Bonus! I'm not crazy!

The comment rating is down right now, but I would totally give you a chubby for the Clerks animated series icon.

Man is Liebot gonna laugh when Chucklebot tells him about this one. Rough chuckles for Phillipe though. Rough chuckles indeed.

This is precisely why I sleep with the lights on.

no you don't

Five for panel six and the alt text.

yes, i think this is my favorite alt text.

Billy and Phillipe's bond in this strip makes me feel all fuzzy. Listen to how concerned that daft old coot is.

The first two panels could be their own strip. They rock that much

On second viewing, this is a 5 not a 4.

People rate things lower than 5? I just 5 my faves and skip the rest.

Me too. Passing judgment on every single one just feels mean. A particular strip might not be my thing, but they're all beautiful.

I fucking love Chucklebot

Everyone has an alligator-themed nightmare at least one in their lives. In mind, I was lying on the floor in a room full of gators, and some of them were lying on top of me.

was there penetration tbtabby

Onstad has hard responsibilities.

That's what she said.

This is almost as bad as waking up to the Burger King guy :S

Oh my god that's fucking disturbing. I genuinely screeched a little when I got to panel 6

>^..^<

haha seriously, the first 2 panels describe so many of my nightmares

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE I MADE YOU... CHUCKLE, PHILLIPE?

Been a while.

Billy Idol is telekinetic now? How can he turn on the lights?
