Triangle and Robert #511	Peace and quiet. Except for Cube's quest, the smoldering wreckage of those robots, and lingering questions about the Starham and Mr. Disease, we're actually between plotlines. / I think you can cross the Starham off the list. / Awww, that's cute. / Look! Now he's glowing and turning into a convex h... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?511
Triangle and Robert #512	Should we be worried that the dog is mutating? / Robert, it's not a dog. / Oh. Now it is a dog. / And now it's not a dog again. / But should we be worried? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?512
Triangle and Robert #513	Maybe we should take the bone away from it. / Cool! That form had tentacles! / Is rapid-fire shapeshifting safe? / No, is rapid-fire shapeshifting inverted capital G. / Wow. I'm really not sure if that pun makes any sense at all written down. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?513
Triangle and Robert #514	It stabilized. / It's... it's a polygon. / I... live again. Thank you for awakening me from my transformation. Woof. / Woof woof! Bow wow! Yip! / Oh good, everything's back to normal. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?514
Triangle and Robert #515	My name is Cube. I am about to embark on a dangerous journey, and I am recording this so that, if I do not return, the world will be able to hear my story. / Do not return? Why wouldn't you return? / It sounds better than "I'm recording this as an excuse for a recap and some exposition." / Isn't honesty... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?515

Triangle and Robert #516	The fact that the text is still antialiased attests to the importance of this log. If I fail in my quest, my story must be made known to all, for we are living in the Time of the Oval. / To begin with: I am in truth a polygon, despite my shape. There was an accident during by birth. The details are... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?516
Triangle and Robert #517	This was before the comic strip. Years passed. I went where I was told, to newly-discovered ruins, to ancient caverns, to wherever ancient knowledge waited to be found. And I destroyed it. But, still, I learned. / Gradually, I came to realize the importance of the ancients to our own time. I began to... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?517
Triangle and Robert #518	Any open-minded student of architecture can come to the same conclusion: the constructions of the Fourth Race were not designed for use by polygons. / In many of their structures, in particular, ones which archaeology has dubbed "temples", there are writings that predict the future. As I learned to... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?518
Triangle and Robert #519	The Pudding-Watcher has arisen on our world, and the Oval itself has come and flies about for purposes unknown. The Time of the Oval, named in the prophesies, is upon us. I have yet to learn what it means. / Whatever the Time of the Oval portends, it is a grave threat to our survival on this world.... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?519
Triangle and Robert #520	Our world has not always been as you see it now. Ours was a vibrant world, lush with beauty and geometric complexity. We had three working spatial dimensions and a fourth one we could work with theoretically. There were far greater than two hundred fifty-six shades of grey, and true algebraic curves... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?520

Triangle and Robert #521	When the comic strip began, the Cartoonist created two polygons, Triangle and Robert, to be the main characters. Without pasts, they have never seen the true wonders of the world, and yet its fate lies in their hands, or lack thereof. / I was the first other polygon they ever met. I did not know who... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?521
Triangle and Robert #522	Humans have figured in our myths, strangely-colored beings with limbs and complex biology. They are more than myth though, and their presence in our world has not been limited to simply a few lost dimension travelers. / The Fourth Race was man. The Cartoonist insists that he has no relation to them,... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?522
Triangle and Robert #523	Some prophecies speak of a Chosen One who would be sent to carry out the will of the Beforings during the Time of the Oval. It appears that Triangle is this Chosen One. From beyond the grave I aided him in his training, and led him to... oh yes. The Sentries. / I do not know if the races preceding polygons... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?523
Triangle and Robert #524	Triangle and Robert awakened the Vegetable Sentry from a seemingly self-induced trance, and together they defeated Orpuddex the Pudding-Watcher, who had grown to gigantic proportions... none of this has anything to do with me or my story. The point is, I was busy when I was dead. / And that brings me... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?524
Triangle and Robert #525	That was boring. Now make something funny happen! / Robert, don't tempt him. / Whenever we ask for something funny or exciting to happen, I end up regretting it. / Yes, but I end up entertained! / Are you the wacky scheme consultants? My wife's boss is coming over for dinner, and I burned down the house! / This... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?525

Triangle and Robert #526	You see, we'll bring your boss to a different NON-burned-down house, and get dinner catered there. / Won't my wife notice it's not our house? / She would... except she'll be wearing virtual-reality goggles the whole time! / Has this scheme ever been tested? / Not in the field, but according to extensive... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?526
Triangle and Robert #527	House ready. Dinner ready. Boss en route in... Robert, you're supposed to be driving the cab. / No, you are. / We have misadventure. Repeat, we have misadventure. / Oh good, there's the cab now. See? These things take care of themselves. / Robert, that's not a taxi, that's a ten-foot-long bum... ble...... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?527
Triangle and Robert #528	So it all worked out. Your wife's boss was too busy with the mutant insects to notice the house was burned down, your wife got her promotion, and the evil supercomputer is being dealt with by the local authorities. / Yes, but... / But what? / Who's going to reattach my lower vertex!?! / Hahaha! All's... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?528
Triangle and Robert #529	Why not leave? You can't draw, your presence on this world has only complicated things, and you've admitted yourself that you're a lousy cartoonist. We'd get along better without you. / But I have nowhere else to go. / You can write, sort of! Go write a book! Don't waste yourself on a comic strip! / A... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?529
Triangle and Robert #530	There is a certain art to not drawing things. / No there isn't. / Hi! I'm Prozac the Bear! / What was that for? / I panicked. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?530

Triangle and Robert #531	Hi! I'm Prozac the Bear! / I, too, am Prozac the Bear! / Hey! So am I! / What's going on? / How should I know? I just work here. / I demand that I may or may not be Prozac the Bear! / Um.... / Chicken in a Kilt! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?531
Triangle and Robert #532	Trillions of readers have written, e-mailed, called, and dreamsent asking what would happen if the Cartoonist were to, for some reason, go insane. / Well, it's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, okay? But I'll tell you this much: if it did happen, which it's NOT GOING TO, the result could be summarized in three words: / Semi-permanent... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?532
Triangle and Robert #533	VENGEANCE! After all these years of trying to get your delicious cereal, I finally hold the lantern! / What? / You will never de-lificate another chicken! Prepare to be boarded! / Uh, okay.... / meanwhile http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?533
Triangle and Robert #534	I'm Prozac the Bear! / I think the panels are out of order. / I'm Prozac the Bear! / Hi! I'm Prozac the Bear! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?534
Triangle and Robert #535	Well, it looks like the cartoonist's finally flipped his cashew. / Cashew? No, I mean sousaphone. / Dad-gum it, I can't work under these conditions! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?535

Triangle and Robert #536	In.... I guess that's the way I'm going. / We meet again, and this time you are virtually squidless! / How can you be sure I'm not packing chips? / Outta my way or I'll pop a Pringle in your / I'm going! I'm going! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?536
Triangle and Robert #537	The gratuitous attempts at surrealism are coming closer together. / I must be getting close to... well, something or other. / Choose a door. / Choose well. / Puzzle time! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?537
Triangle and Robert #538	One of us always tells the truth. / And one of us always lies. / This is familiar. / Ask us a question. / Then choose a door. / If one of you always lies, then it can't be the case that one of you always tells the truth AND one of you always lies, since that would mean you were both telling the truth. / Um...... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?538
Triangle and Robert #539	Get on with it. / Ask a question. / Obviously, you can't both always tell the truth. Thus, the only remaining conclusion is that at least one of you SOMETIMES lies, in which case I can derive no useful information from you. / You're thinking about this too hard. / Get on with it. / Furthermore, upon accepting... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?539
Triangle and Robert #540	You're walking into the wall? / That's a very stupid choice. / What wall? It's just a bunch of lines. / Huh? / Our life is a lie! / See you! / Is that cheating? / I no longer care. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?540
