i like roomba

yes. more roomba please

so begins an era...

Teodor's eyes make the strip.

I love how Beefs all dressed up in a tie to play Luke Skywalker on his robo vac.

Well, its not like Teodor is really trying either, just a cape and a smug expression on him.

dude, that expression is all darth vader.

HELLA Darth.

I'd like to think that it's actually possible to ride around on roomba vacs without crushing them, because the idea of acting and moving on little platforms is both cool and lame at the same time.

stuffed bears and cats.

Stuffed bears who age when stuffed otters do not... and cats.

Nooooo

VROOOOO

Ahahaha... that one made me LOL IRL.

Come on guys, don't lame tombsgrave. This is actually relevant.

The strip that started a legend.

Teador is the best Darth Vader ever. Look at that face of pure evil.

AGREE!

Can anyone explain to me the essential gist of Teodor's character? I've never really understood how the little guy's mind works. Obviously this is a relative question, as the Achewood characters all act somewhat inscrutably at least some of the time.

Boy, did Onstad answer that one for you!

You may be slightly too young to really remember the "Generation X"/slacker archetype, but I think it fits Teodor pretty well.

'Left over'? You mean just like Lyle, Phillipe, Cornelius and Todd as well?

I guess the decided against the lightsabers in the end. Probably a health hazard on roombas. Could be another accidental Beef death.

This starts a bizarre trend in strips. I shall lend this on a five, but all others will subsequently fall victim to a negative point creep.

How is this not in the highest rated strips? Beef's tiny "nooo" as he roomba's away is pure comedy gold.

Amen.

what amuses me is the obvious implication that they have been planing on doing something like this for a long, long time.

These Roomba Theater comics make me wish I had a Roomba...and that it could support my weight.

the roomba was also featured in arrested development, to a hilarious end.

I like Beef's response better than Hammill's.

We call our terrier a Roomba- the Pro Elite model.

Teodors costume is not the worst evidently

Possibly one of my favorites. That. Last. Panel.

I like the fact that the first films they make after getting a second roomba is one in which only one of the roombas actually moves anyway.

I just got RB tattooed on my arm from this strip. It means that much to me. My new Roast Beef tattoo

I like the one where you're humping the blowup doll.

BBCODE DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY

You are certainly correct about that. Sorry, just wanted to share. @gene: Yeah, golden moment for sure.

[IMGS OFF]

That last panel ... that delivery ... gah, is SO great.

I see they are Magi.
