Photoshop or no, it is so rude to eat all the Rolos.

Your avatar is the Blacktron II logo.

I am floored.

It is good, I'll grant, but look just two strips ago.
Seriously.
Readjust your opinion accordingly.

Best Roomba strip ever.

Noone pisses on the man who invented Photoshop. Ever.

Teodor is about to enter a world where the only activity is airbrushing Beef's red-eye.

Adobe was small-time before the invention of Photoshop.

My copy of The Late 20th Century History of Design concurs that this is how the PhotoShop went down.

Brothers Thomas Knoll and John Knoll began development on Photoshop in 1987. Version 1 was released by Adobe in 1990. Early versions of Photoshop were branded as Knoll Software releases before partnership with Adobe was established.

Inventing photoshop is HUGE! Why cant I see alt text:(

man i feel all wrong i just gave you a chubby for your icon.

You sure it wasn't the other way around?

Clever.

True

OH SHIT!

...i JUST got that

And it only took four months.

And there was mutual exchange of chub.

It is a hella sweet icon... in his favour.

Dude, seriously! Respect for the icon! It's hypnotic....... .. .. . .

and women always ask me what is so great about boobs. thank you.

Bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy...

you have to be able to grow that mustache to work at Adobe. it is in your contract.
I also like how we can only see 3/4 of the Roomba in only one panel.

the way the tips of Beef's ears poke out above his hilarious hairpiece makes it sort of look like he has little horns

I... I don't know how I feel about that

So I guess this got slashdotted today. Thankfully it deserves it.

The Rolo Kebab:
1. Insert skewer through the centre of an entire pack
2. Remove wrapper
3. Serve.

Stolen from The Idler

Where I come from, the Rolos are individually wrapped in foil. This makes the Rolo kebab rather impractical.

Where do you come from? In ENGLAND, the rolos are assembled into a column, and the foil is wrapped around all of them together. The Rolo Kebab is a both practical and easy.

and delicious.

Yeah, as far as I know, here in America they are individually wrapped in foil. So inconvenient.

You can still unwrap them once on the skewer. The foil tears quite easily.

What the FUCK. Individually wrapped Rolos? That can just fuck right off.

I like to be able to plough straight through my packs of Rolos.

Further incontrovertible proof that America is just a cheap knock-off of England.

What? What about baseball? Cricket is like the toddler version of baseball. Cricket is like someone stared to invent baseball but then just got lazy a quarter of the way through. Plus, jeans. We invented jeans. Don't you wear jeans? But, ya, I guess I agree, I would like it if Rolos were all stacked in the same foil. God I would like that a lot. Also, chinese food.

Cricket, like rugby, is a sport I cannot grasp no matter how many times I watch it or how hard someone tries to explain it to me.

To be fair, cricket is totally lame. It's really boring and shitty.

But not as lame or shitty as individually-wrapped Rolos. So I think you guys win on this one.

I don't think i can sit here and listen to this.

2 months later: actually, that would be India.

Actually, Blue Denim pants go back to before Columbus. And Levi Strauss wasn't from America. "Blue Jeans" derives from French "Jeans Bleus", which roughly translates "blue Johns".

America may have popularized the FASHION of wearing blue jeans for other than the worst of manual labor, but they really can't claim them as their own invention.

They can claim whatever they want, they are 'MERICA

what About baseball, it sucks.

Your attempts to insult cricket are poorly constructed and would not meet code in a Rio shanty town.

For reals. Trying to claim that cricket is less complicated than...anything really, is just a frantically waving flag of ignorance.

Rolos are gross. They stay with you. They're like chocolate gum.

I shall, from now on, celebrate "Fuck you I just invented Photoshop Friday".

Folks just don't remember the old Adobe logo.
[IMGS OFF]

That logo sucks. That definitely needed to get 'shopped.

Luckily they listed that feature on the original photoshop box:
"You can also use the airbrush to draw such as a hat"

"or just a furious-lookin' ding dong."

Now they have a special filter for that.

This strip ranks as one of my favorites. I think it might have to do with the 'staches, as well as Roastbeef's hilarious dialogue ("You can also use the airbrush to draw such as a hat").

Today's Blogs

Ray: Damn, Teodor!
Mr. Bear: Back in the stuff.
Little Nephew: webMastah'

I hope Teodor's about to order Sani-Tacos.

Probably not. Eating your own hair is mainly a thing of the mentally ill.

It doesn't even prevent the on-set of headless horsemanship.

You don't piss on the dogg that just invented Photoshop.

wow those are some "sabotage"-lookin fakehairbits

Inventing Photoshop is huge indeed.

A new dawn in millinery draughtsmanship

I like how "Do you want any" isn't actually a question. It's a foregone conclusion that someone would want tacos.

makes sense. i almost always dont not want tacos.

(define (doe-greenkoolayd-want-tacos? t)
(cond
[(>= t 0) true]
[else true]
))

Straight up SCHEME program representing greenkoolayd always wanting tacos? What kind of wacky style am I attempting to rock?

You can only dream of knowing!

what alien language is that?

"Screw you for eating all the Rolos" is something I'd like to be able say once in my life.
