| Triangle and Robert #1693 | Hi there! I was going to bring flowers, but then I real... Robert, why are you blocking my way? / Have you been collaborating with the Cornersheep?
/ As a matter of fact I have, but not anything sinister. I didn't know it was him at first, just some anonymous stranger with an interest in the Fifth Race... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1693 |
| Triangle and Robert #1694 | I think you should leave.
/ Robert, I want to hear him out.
/ Is it safe to cross your speech lines like that? / If we don't do it to often. Anyway, tell us about your contact with the Cornersheep.
/ Do you realize that of all the technologies the Ovalnaut gave him, he only used / the few that would not... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1694 |
| Triangle and Robert #1695 | He was just a sheep. When he became something more, he needed to know who he was. / Then he should have stopped being a villain the moment he learned about the Fifth Race.
/ I guess I sound like I'm condoning what he did. I don't mean to. / Identities are hard things to change, though, you know?
/ Why... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1695 |
| Triangle and Robert #1696 | They're talking about me. They have it all wrong, you know. / I think they're pretty close.
/ No. They're treating my supervillainy as a passing phase. / And what is it really?
/ It's just me.
/ What reasons would I have to believe that? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1696 |
| Triangle and Robert #1697 | I didn't come here to talk about the Cornersheep, though I'm willing to. May I see Triangle now? / Triangle! You look g... You look... Yow. Does it hurt?
/ Yes. / Oh. So. Are you okay to have a conversation?
/ Pretty much. Tell me about the fall of the First Race and the rise of the Second. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1697 |
| Triangle and Robert #1698 | It's hard. The First Race had no written language, and the Second left barely anything. What can I tell you?... Well, we know about meat. / You know meat forms in space, right?
/ Yes.
/ Well, before Earth neared the dual lump which marked the end of the First Race, there were meat storms. / So the Second... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1698 |
| Triangle and Robert #1699 | Triangle! Your vertex!
/ It seems pretty good. I think I can move around now. / Nope.
/ Okay, back into the green science goo. Get a nurse.
/ I can do that. / So what have we learned?
/ About my healing process or about meat?
/ I was hoping for synergy. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1699 |
| Triangle and Robert #1700 | If the Second Race began as fallen space meat, and then PAINKILLERS! I NEED PAINKILLERS!
/ Cube's getting a nurse. / I don't need a nurse, I need drugs!
/ I've never lost a vertex, so I really have no idea how much it hurts. / >&$@#+;@%^\]{.!^@... *-{`~;!^&,>?;:$$*(!... :$@&&*!!!
/ Hey! Can we get some... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1700 |
| Triangle and Robert #1701 | You can't get Triangle excited like that. He needs to stay still and in the solution for his vertex to regrow. / It grew back a lot sooner than we expected it to, and probably a lot weaker.
/ It probably came back so fast because Friend Cartoonist forgot to keep cropping it out of the frame. / "Friend... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1701 |
| Triangle and Robert #1702 | Triangle, we can't get you too excited. I'm going to go do something else and leave you to rest.
/ See you around! / I wasn't getting that excited. It's your fault I moved.
/ You were starting to get a little worked up.
/ So I should just sleep?
/ Works for me. / I'm not really tired.
/ Press your sedative... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1702 |
| Triangle and Robert #1703 | How's the Recapulon project coming along?
/ It's working. Do you want to do Year Three now? / No. Things are making enough sense for me at the moment.
/ I know you don't believe me about the Cornersheep. I'll admit I could be wrong. / You are wrong, but someone has to be for the subplot to work.
/ You... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1703 |
| Triangle and Robert #1704 | I don't know... it still sounds awfully abstract.
/ No, it's very simple! Taco and Clam are natural enemies, competing over a resource which is a pink balloon. / I'm not saying I wouldn't watch "Taco Versus Clam". I'd probably like it. But it would never air on the TV of my world.
/ Sometimes they cooperate... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1704 |
| Triangle and Robert #1705 | Were you actually discharged from the hospital?
/ What are you, my mother?
/ Technically, I suppose I might be. / I can take care of my own health.
/ News to me.
/ Is there a point to this nagging? / Just establishing things so it'll make sense when you suddenly fall over a few strips later. Now, what's... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1705 |
| Triangle and Robert #1706 | The world's only office supply store?
/ It's just a TV show. They can take liberties like that.
/ And Clam manages it?
/ Just in this episode. / So what they do changes from episode to episode?
/ Only Clam and some of the supporting cast. Taco stays the same.
/ And what does Taco do?
/ Taco lives in a Mexican... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1706 |
| Triangle and Robert #1707 | {{sym: pi normal omega}}!
/ BOOM
/ {{sym: iota delta delta / theta delta}}...
/ Hooray for Taco! / That ending made... no sense. Is Prozac the Bear a writer on this thing?
/ That wasn't the ending.
/ Aren't those the credits now? / No, those are joke credits.
/ What's the joke? They look normal.
/ They're... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1707 |
| Triangle and Robert #1708 | Hey, does your Earth have a "Jorge Luis Borges" or something similar?
/ Yes. He was a writer. He often wrote fictional critiques of nonexistent works instead of writing the actual stories therein. / Oh. Not a parallel of ours, then.
/ Let me guess. Yours was an actual literary critic and all the books... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1708 |
| Triangle and Robert #1709 | These are the actual closing credits now, right? Because all the vowels are the wrong size? I think I'm starting to get the rules of "Taco Versus Clam" now.
/ [[Robert wobbles]] / [[Robert has fallen over]]
/ See, this is why hospitals have discharge procedures and you're not supposed to just leave when... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1709 |
| Triangle and Robert #1710 | What?
/ Triangle?
/ You said "Clam script."
/ It was the end of an earlier sentence. / I passed out in the middle.
/ What sort of sentence ends with "Clam script"? Don't tell me you're trying to design a mollusc-based handwriting recognition system. / Okay, I won't.
/ Actually, he isn't. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1710 |
| Triangle and Robert #1711 | I'm not going to ask you about whatever irritating yet ultimately unoriginal and unfulfilling plan you have cooked up. I need to avoid getting excited.
/ It's a boring plan. / I'm not listening. I think I'll have some more sedatives, too. Just in case you keep talking, I mean.
/ Sedatives for whom?
/ Yeah...... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1711 |
| Triangle and Robert #1712 | [[Triangle and Robert are sedated]] / Well, that hospital there sure doesn't skimp on the sedatives. / Good thing there wasn't any important dialogue for today. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1712 |
| Triangle and Robert #1713 | Where am I? Why am I in a vat of... wading pool of... green... my vertex? Oh, no. It's coming back now. Robert, you okay? / I seem to think I'm a bivalve, but otherwise I'm sleepy and in great pain.
/ This hospital stay is becoming lengthy and boring. / I forget why I dreamed I was a clam. Or perhaps... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1713 |
| Triangle and Robert #1714 | You shouldn't be standing up.
/ The script!
/ The mysterious "clam script"?
/ Taco Versus! / Right, I forgot I wasn't going to ask.
/ Typewriter now! Still fresh in my mind! / Must... crawl... onward. Need... typewriter! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1714 |
| Triangle and Robert #1715 | Nurse! Typewriter... for clam now!
/ Security! We've got a runner! / What? No... typewriter! Taco!
/ He's delirious! Bring the net! / The net's down. There was a memo.
/ Then just drag him back to his room. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1715 |
| Triangle and Robert #1716 | They wouldn't let me have a typewriter.
/ Typewriter {{sym: is a member of}} Instruments {{sym: intersection}} Blunt. / Now I'm going to be up all night figuring out how you pronounced that.
/ No you're not. Have some more sedatives. / Not that I have anything against gratuitous binges of fancy hospital... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1716 |
| Triangle and Robert #1717 | Comics generally gloss over lengthy between-adventures hospital stays and pick up again when the next adventure starts.
/ That they do. / So, maybe you should think about that. Either we could fast-forward with you and not have to deal with convalescence, or we can get a couple months of Cartoonist-free... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1717 |
| Triangle and Robert #1718 | Pardon me, we have a few questions about your insurance.
/ Not without a fight! / What? Robert, you can barely crawl.
/ Have at thee! / I beg your pardon?
/ Nothing.... You were saying? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1718 |
| Triangle and Robert #1719 | You attacked me.
/ No. I was stretching.
/ You don't have any insurance at all, do you? / Of course we have insurance! Who wouldn't have... no.
/ Normally that's not a problem, but convicted felons and experimental treatments aren't eligible for free care. / You can't stop treatment now! I need my vertex... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1719 |
| Triangle and Robert #1720 | This isn't particularly wacky, but the Meat Sentry doesn't do consulting and you were the only others involved....
/ So you want us to revisit a previous plot element? / We would like to implement a system for mass production of Starhams.
/ I'm not sure magical curatives and hospitals can really mix....
/ But... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1720 |
| Triangle and Robert #1721 | We can't take the case.
/ Why not?
/ We're filled with drugs. We need to think about your proposal clearly. / It's not like you have a choice.
/ Maybe we do and we're just too sedated to see it.
/ I don't think we can let you sit here without appropriate painkillers. / Why not? You were going to stop treatment... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1721 |
| Triangle and Robert #1722 | I see how a source of Starhams might be important for medical science. We're not competent to enter into a binding contract at the moment, but maybe... uh... / Where am I?
/ Point taken.
/ I want peas.
/ I think he was going to say we'll help you a little, but can't guarantee anything. / What happened... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1722 |
