| Triangle and Robert #1231 | I might as well help the strip along while I'm filibustering, so here's a list of characters and their probable statuses. Triangle: controlled by Oval. Robert: present! Cube: near home, encamped awaiting the result of this sortie. Orpuddex: in Factory. / Mr Disease: Above ground nearby, ready to act... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1231 |
| Triangle and Robert #1232 | I'm surprised. I am also very much amused. Do you wonder why I laugh at you resolve when you have come further than any other? / [[Gradient effect background]]
/ Of all the shapes that could have come here to oppose me, the rhombus is the one from which I have the least to fear. Where most polygons have... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1232 |
| Triangle and Robert #1233 | [[Gradient effect background]]
/ I speak of the Three Laws of Rhombotics. Sentient rhombi were designed for the most sensitive of tasks, those which could not be entrusted to more autonomous beings. / The Third Law was the weakest. Even before I left, rhombi broke it regularly. "A rhombus must protect... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1233 |
| Triangle and Robert #1234 | [[Gradient effect background]]
/ "A rhombus may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm." The Third Law of Rhombotics. It is most fundamental to your nature. / Leave or stay. You can do nothing against me. / [[Robert]] http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1234 |
| Triangle and Robert #1235 | Maybe you're right. Maybe a rhombus really can't harm a human. / But you're no human. / You're just a STICK FIGURE!
/ [[Robert decapitates the Ovalnaut]] http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1235 |
| Triangle and Robert #1236 | Wake up, Triangle. It's over. / Over? What do... oh. How did you..
/ It thought it was people. It wasn't. / So polygons around the world will be coming out of the Cornersheep's control now?
/ Probably.
/ Yes. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1236 |
| Triangle and Robert #1237 | The Fondue's breaking up! We survived! / "I survived the Fondue of Four Thousand Cheeses and One Antidepressant" would look good on a T-shirt. / If we had arms.
/ We're alive! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1237 |
| Triangle and Robert #1238 | Do you have a rope or something?
/ No. In hindsight, getting one would have been a good idea. / Yes. Yes, getting a rope would have been a good idea, given that the only obvious route to the surface from here involves a good deal of up.
/ I shall acquire one shortly. / I wasn't done complaining.
/ Are... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1238 |
| Triangle and Robert #1239 | Helllloo? Someone? / Anyone? I've been waiting patiently!
/ Oh. Um. / Ah.
/ I should have gotten to you sooner, but I had to take care of the Oval situation, and there was the Fondue, and Prozac.... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1239 |
| Triangle and Robert #1240 | So, am I getting resurrected?
/ Yes.
/ When? / As soon as I come up with a reason.
/ Can I have something to do while I wait? Meditating without a body doesn't really seem to work. / Do you feel up to rescuing Linda from the Pudding Factory of the Dead?
/ Me rescuing her? That sounds backwards. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1240 |
| Triangle and Robert #1241 | Reinforcements are on the way.
/ You said I couldn't hear you in the vat! / Yes, and you heard me say that.
/ Can't you even follow your own arbitrary rules? / Yes. Why do you ask? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1241 |
| Triangle and Robert #1242 | Release the Meat Sentry.
/ Why? / Because I'll do something threatening if you don't.
/ No you won't, you're dead. / Yes, I haven't thought it out much.
/ So, if I do not release the distressing damsel, you will have no choice but to... try to come up with something. I am unfrightened. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1242 |
| Triangle and Robert #1243 | I'll enter the Vat and get her myself.
/ How? / I have no idea. I never really learned how to make plans. / What are you looking at me for? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1243 |
| Triangle and Robert #1244 | Chosen One! Sidekick! I have found a rope!
/ It took you long enough!
/ Triangle, be nice. / I don't want to fall from the rope, so I won't ask the obvious "how are we..." question.
/ A wise decision. / Is the plane working now?
/ I will ask that from which it came. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1244 |
| Triangle and Robert #1245 | I'm here to rescue you.
/ You're as dead as I am! / The Cartoonist sent me, so there must be something I can do. / Unless it was just his typical incompetence!
/ You always see the worst in people.
/ He's people? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1245 |
| Triangle and Robert #1246 | Hi! I... no. Not today. / Not today. / 1928-2003 http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1246 |
| Triangle and Robert #1247 | |ello?
/ What?
/ Mister Disease? / No.
/ The MSG has entered the pudding vat.
/ Why? / Undoi| http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1247 |
| Triangle and Robert #1248 | We're alive? Huh?
/ Something's wrong! / Temporary bodies.
/ Oh. That... explains... it?
/ It explains why I have an aftertaste. / Difficulty assembling originals. Oops.
/ Oops? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1248 |
| Triangle and Robert #1249 | Am I supposed to be crumbling?
/ We're going to redie! / Don't move. You've been reincarnated into temporary holding bodies made of MSG until your actual bodies can be recovered. They'll hold together okay if you hold still.
/ Is it okay to talk? / Slowly.
/ In... that... case: You're... an... idiot.
/ What...... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1249 |
| Triangle and Robert #1250 | Hello? Was I supposed to meet someone here or did I imagine that? What's going on? / Uh oh. I hadn't been drawing anything to do with you and now you walk back into the plot with things having happened to you.
/ I can summarize.
/ Thanks. / Everyone snapped out of ovine control all of a sudden. The sheep... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1250 |
| Triangle and Robert #1251 | I received some sort of telepathic message, unless I didn't. I'm not really clear on that part, but if there was a message, it was telling me to return to the city and come here. Where's here, anyway? / It's the park where the Vegetable Sentry landed after the explosion. Most of him anyway.
/ I need... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1251 |
| Triangle and Robert #1252 | Hel p ?
/ He's falling apart! / And now he fell apart! You let him die again!
/ No, the MSG entity pulled him out in time. / It's alive! He's alive!
/ {{upside-down}}Pointy end down please. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1252 |
| Triangle and Robert #1253 | You're reassembled. Where's the Meat Sentry's body?
/ Reassembled? You can't bring someone back to life just by putting their body back together. / The MSG took care of the hard part. It feels responsible since the dome didn't protect you.
/ You're talking to the MSG now? / We talk to the Cartoonist... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1253 |
| Triangle and Robert #1254 | So, do you know where the Meat Sentry's body might be at?
/ No. / It's in the back strips. Go read up.
/ We don't have time for that, do we? How long can the MSG entity keep Linda on life support? / She died in strip 1142. Good luck finding where I established the setting.
/ I guess it's worth a shot.
/ Can... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1254 |
| Triangle and Robert #1255 | I told you so, time doesn't pass for characters consulting previous strips.
/ That's sort of convenient, but mostly spooky. / We know the Meat Sentry boarded a sheep transport near the site of the battle. We know the transport didn't get far before she was killed. What happened after that? / If it was... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1255 |
| Triangle and Robert #1256 | The transport would originally have been headed to Scotland, but if I were the Cornersheep I'd have changed course when the Ovalnaut was killed. / Speculation not funny. Speculation not funny!
/ You're noticing that now? / That's something Triangle would say.
/ Maybe I'd say it too! You never even tried... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1256 |
| Triangle and Robert #1257 | Let me get this straight. You want me to define your personality for you.
/ Yes! I need characterization! / You'd let your personality and role be defined by outside edict?
/ When you put it that way... maybe not? / I think your character's been established.
/ Oh. What is it? ... Ohhh. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1257 |
| Triangle and Robert #1258 | Meanwhile, off the coast of Aruba...
/ No! He didn't just... / I did.
/ Why? Do you have something against me? / Cube would have figured out where you fled to soon anyway. I just figured I'd narrate it to jump-start things and save dull speculation. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1258 |
| Triangle and Robert #1259 | We can't get to Aruba and back before Linda's temporary MSG body collapses.
/ No, probably not. Do we know anyone who can? / I have no idea, there are too many characters in this strip.
/ There must be some way. Perhaps the other Sentries know of something. / We could try the Fondue of Four Thosand Cheeses... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1259 |
| Triangle and Robert #1260 | If the Fondue is Linda's only chance, we have to go for it. / It's not her only chance. With the sheep fled I can fly a plane there.
/ Oh. / I'll start measuring the cheeses in case you don't make it.
/ I'd rather you didn't. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1260 |
