I have no idea what I was thinking. The only thing this calls to mind is the song "Deus me faca funky," which is not at all apposite.

You were really not surprised by a cat, who dresses and acts like an old-fashioned man from the American south, turning out to be a pathologically-lying robot in disguise? Really?

I was a little disappointed that it turned out to be Lie Bot because now we don't know what Uncle Culpepper is actually like.

Kudos for a brilliant adaptation of classic Scooby-Doo plot resolution. The sound effect is even spot on.

The best part of this strip is definitely Doc Andretti totally ignoring Lie Bot and Ray in the first panel and just walking on by with a real patient with real problems.

Uh, I think Ray is referring to Roast Beef on the gurney in question. Indeed, RB is a real patient with real problems...unlike Lie Bot. Great arc!

Hey man, some of us just happened to not have heard of it up until a certain point. (Would like to point out at this point that I have read the entire archive, I just didn't sign up straight away.)
Come on, man. "Newbie"-scorn is SO 2006.

Super-Tip: read them all first, THEN go back through and do the comments thing. Or else like every single strip will sound familiar from when someone references it.

That should not have to be a super-tip. Spoilers are like poison: if you give them to people, you should be killed.

I, too, am beginning to feel this might have been wise. But never mind! When you make a mistake, stick to it doggedly as things gradually fall to pieces around you.
(I'm also discovering that various assets I thought were hilarious are actually cold stolen from the strip. I remembering laughing out loud at an early 'Some of it got on the mayor!' because it seemed such a random and inspired thing to say, and then a hundred-odd strips later, my face fell and another fragment of my innocence died whimpering.)

Maybe it's velcro to hold the mask in place? But then, how was liebot able to make the mask smaller than his actual head, and be round and not look Frankenstein's Monster in appearance?

I like to imagine that this strip might alternatively have ended with Uncle Culpepper's evil twin, Clancy, screaming and clutching at his bleeding head, from which Ray just tore his ears.

I always thought it was the mustache, but Culpepper's is white...
As soon as you can explain Teodor's similar mouth in a previous strip, sure.
Might be a reference to Klaus Nomi who has been referenced many a time.
Maybe it's Maybelline.
maybe its more than that
Maybe he's born with it.
Nah, it's Maybelline.
Man, there's serious kudos going your way in setting that one up.
Why can't it be true?

WHY FIND OUT
BOO TO THAT
Since Lie Bot's mouth is metal he had to paint it black so that when the mouth of the mask opened you didn't see metal inside, but darkness.
Man, I was gonna chubby this, but no. Your pedestrian, common-sense explanation has a certain elegance to it, but it ruins the mystery. Why's everything gotta have a reason? Let the freaky black mouth be a freaky black mouth, man.
You can still wonder at how Onstad noticed that.
I'm just gonna chubby it anyways, because I like answered questions.
how is asherdan showing up consistantly as the first comment?
liiiie boooooot!
