Everything's more dramatic on a robotic floor vac.

Roombas are the new Segway.

Except actually relatively useful.

Jack Nicholson and Kiefer Sutherland were the only good things about that whole damned film.

So much, said with so much scooting.

I wish I could try that. But if I did, the roomba would probably spin its little motor in a way that sounded like "fuck you", and then it would die.

It even makes the last notes sound like "Y O U R F A U L T"

ENTERING DEATH MODE.

WHAT DID YOU DO?

YOU STEP ON ME

YOU BRING THE PAIN

WHITE BOY

I think you meant:

YOU STEP TO ME
I BRING THE PAIN
WHITE BOY
:[

I did, in fact, not.

Oh. Well. This is awkward.

Carry on.

All Roombas get stepped on. They have a special battery that costs $50 on the black market I mean Ebay. So people put them in the closet and say, "I'll sell the battery on Ebay someday".

I get the feeling that it's borrowed from something else, but I must say that the way panels 3-6 convey Teodor's motion are brilliant.

i like the clean spot in the rug left in his wake

Didn't even notice that before. Onstad doesn't leave shit out...

It could also be the nap of the carpet, having been pushed in one direction opposed to the random carpet distribution of oh my god why am I typing this ...

Probably because the 11/1/08 strip hasn't been updated in a week and a half your computer barely even loads it any more and today is your day off because you have a government job but it's cold and rainy as hell and all of your friends have regular jobs and so have to work anyway and you're bored as hell and just want to comment somewhere and this seemed like a good enough place but now you're starting to wonder if you should be doing something else anyway and you see the dishes need doing but that seems so depressing and that's why you typed it.

Oh, never mind. That's me.

Well, more to the point, I'm gettin' through the archive, bit by bit, limb by limb. ( cue Cutty Ranks )

the alt text lies

i would love to see a nascar wreck emulated on small vacuums though

the roomba flips itself into the air and bursts into flames

SNICKLITS

WRONG.

I love how disappointed Beef looks in the last panel.

that floor is pretty dirty

I bumped 4 to a 4.1

Good Strip

I haven't seen this movie. Now my curiosity is piqued.

Hella good. Y'all missing the point giving this a sub-4 rating. Check out the composition, then check yo damn self, fool.

vrooooooo

Teodor always gets to be Jack Nicholson

He's got the Nicholson skunk-eye droopy lids down cold.

What in hell, people?!

The ultra-sad/shocked looks on Beef's face makes this.

Yeah, Beef is all distraught by the stuffed bear getting closer on his Roomba all smug all left leg slightly lifted and stuff.

I was flipping through channels the other day and heard "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH" before the channel changed again. So I went back and watched it then I went to bed.

GIF-making time.
