| Triangle and Robert #181 | Wacky is filling your car's tank with 3-octane gasoline.
/ Gotcha. / Absurd is filling your car's tank with a ferret. / What if you cut out the middleman and just fill the ferret with cheap gas?
/ Well, you could do that... probably... I guess. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?181 |
| Triangle and Robert #182 | Wacky is a new lifeform evolving in your fridge.
/ Okay.... / Absurd is your fridge evolving into a new lifeform.
/ That reminds me... / We need to go to the grocery store and buy some more RNA.
/ You're not paying full attention.
/ Of course not. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?182 |
| Triangle and Robert #183 | Wacky is when the men's room is out of order and you have to use the ladies' room.
/ Yup, that's wacky. / Absurd is when the men's room is out of order and you use a cabbage.
/ Hold that thought. / I have to go to the salad.
/ That's seriously wrong. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?183 |
| Triangle and Robert #184 | Wacky is talking toast.
/ Yup, good example of wacky. / Absurd is shoving talk-show hosts into a toaster. / Even the ones that deserve it?
/ Well, sometimes absurdity is justifiable. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?184 |
| Triangle and Robert #185 | Wacky is...
/ Can I do one?
/ Sure. / Wacky is mistaking bait for pasta.
/ Right.... / Absurd is strangling your grandmother's parakeet with its own intestines because it won't shut up about badminton.
/ I think you're missing the point.
/ But it's absurd, right? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?185 |
| Triangle and Robert #186 | Wacky is getting drunk and thinking you're Robert Frost. / Absurd is turning into Robert Frost whenever you get drunk.
/ What about whenever you get angry? / Hmm... "The Incredible New Hampshire Poet". I see definite television possibilities.
/ See? Absurd is fun! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?186 |
| Triangle and Robert #187 | Wacky is planting birdseed.
/ A classic. / Absurd is when it grows.
/ No, that's still wacky. / It is?
/ Definitely. It's not absurd until the eggplants hatch.
/ Good point. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?187 |
| Triangle and Robert #188 | Well, Robert, you now have a firm grasp of the line between wacky and absurd.
/ I sure do, Triangle! / Are we going to change our current scheme to something a tad more sensible?
/ No. / I didn't think so.
/ And now back to our absurdity, already in progress. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?188 |
| Triangle and Robert #189 | You win. I'll bury the ground pork.
/ Great! / And then some stuff that I don't bother to draw happens, and then... / That was one ticked-off vole.
/ Loves his mother, though. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?189 |
| Triangle and Robert #190 | Okay, step four is we fly to the Capitol.
/ That's remarkably sane. / Go get the jetpacks.
/ Ah, there's the silly bit. / Why do you always say that like it's a bad thing?
/ To create dramatic conflict. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?190 |
| Triangle and Robert #191 | I'll go order dance supplies for the fish while you get the jetpacks ready. / Um... I guess they're ready, it would help if I actually knew what I was doing....
/ Or if I knew what jetpacks looked like.... / They don't normally carry fish sizes, but they'll special-order everything and rush deliver... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?191 |
| Triangle and Robert #192 | Robert! How the fractal do you steer these things?
/ Um... / Why are we using jetpacks anyway?
/ Because it's funny! / We could have done some jokes about airline food!
/ Why didn't you point that out earlier? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?192 |
| Triangle and Robert #193 | I'm turning my jetpack off.
/ What? / It's the only way down. The ground can't be that hard, considering it's never drawn.
/ Elegant reasoning. / That looks fun!
/ Yargh! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?193 |
| Triangle and Robert #194 | I can still see Triangle down below. He's falling pretty fast. / I wonder how high we are. It's hard to tell without the ground being drawn. / THUMP!
/ Triangle? Are you okay? Can you hear me?
/ zootlewurdlezootlewurdle...
/ Cratery. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?194 |
| Triangle and Robert #195 | Whoa. You got banged up pretty bad. / I'd better get you to a doctor. / No... I'll take you to an appliance repairman. That'll be funnier.
/ (I'm doomed.) http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?195 |
| Triangle and Robert #196 | TRIANGLE.
/ What... who are you? Where am I? / BETWEEN WORLDS. YOU HAVE DIED.
/ Darn. / THE FALL INJURED YOU FATALLY. THE RHOMBUS TAKING YOU TO AN APPLIANCE REPAIRMAN DIDN'T HELP ANY EITHER.
/ Again: darn. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?196 |
| Triangle and Robert #197 | That's... it then. He's dead. We hardly even knew each other, really. / Dead. Dead. Dead. / I can't think of anything funny to say for the third panel. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?197 |
| Triangle and Robert #198 | My fault for coming up with this pointless scheme. My fault for wanting to use jetpacks. / My fault for not taking you to a hospital. Dead, dead, dead. / The fact that you're pretty blatantly going to come back to life in a few strips doesn't make me feel any better for some reason. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?198 |
| Triangle and Robert #199 | Dead. Dead. Dead, dead, dead, dead dead dead. / Author? That's enough angst. You can bring him back now. / Hello? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?199 |
| Triangle and Robert #200 | Well. This is the 200th strip. / Triangle's still...dead. / Darn. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?200 |
| Triangle and Robert #201 | What are you?
/ A MESSENGER. / Oh, great. More plot stuff.
/ YES. MORE "PLOT STUFF", AS YOU CHOOSE TO PUT IT. / And then I stop being dead?
/ PROBABLY. WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT IT ALL THROUGH.
/ Well. Gee. No rush. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?201 |
| Triangle and Robert #202 | THIS IS NOT YOUR FIRST TIME BETWEEN WORLDS. DO YOU REMEMBER?
/ Dimly. This all has something to do with pudding, right? / EVERYTHING HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH PUDDING.
/ Everything? / WELL, NOT REALLY. BUT THIS DOES. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?202 |
| Triangle and Robert #203 | WHEN LAST YOU CAME HERE, YOU WERE LED BY A DIFFERENT MESSENGER.
/ Right. Her. / RIGHT, WELL...THAT SORT OF THING HAPPENS. SHE WAS A TEMP.
/ She explained absolutely nothing and then ran off for no apparent reason and stranded me! / SHE DOESN'T WORK HERE ANYMORE.
/ I'd hope not. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?203 |
| Triangle and Robert #204 | NOW THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO KNOW YOUR DESTINY. / Well?
/ I...FORGOT MY LINE. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?204 |
| Triangle and Robert #205 | OKAY, NOW THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO KNOW YOUR DESTINY.
/ You sure? / I THINK SO, UM... YES! NOW YOUR PURPOSE SHALL BE REVEALED! / BUT FIRST, LET'S ALL GIVE A BIG HAND TO OUR SPECIAL GUEST, ED... HUH? THIS ISN'T MY SCRIPT. WHAT IS THIS?
/ Pathetic. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?205 |
| Triangle and Robert #206 | NOW THE TIME HAS REALLY COME FOR YOUR DESTINY TO BE REVEALED.
/ Sure it has. / YES. IT HAS. SO COME ON OVER TO CRAZY SAL'S NEW AND USED... THIS CAN'T BE IT. WHAT PAGE ARE WE ON?
/ Don't ask me. You're the one with the book of eternity. / UM... HAVE YOU GOTTEN TO THE BIT WITH THE VOLCANO YET?
/ You're... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?206 |
| Triangle and Robert #207 | I'm sorry. This just isn't working.
/ You're telling me. / I actually did intend your destiny to be revealed this time.
/ Well, it can wait. You got a couple decent jokes out of it anyway. / Why is it I can never introduce a majestic godlike figure without him or her immediately turning into a bumbling... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?207 |
| Triangle and Robert #208 | Ow.
/ Triangle! You're alive! / Yeah... apparently the cartoonist (and I use the word loosely) couldn't draw the afterlife.
/ Figures. / We should do something about my injury... Ow.
/ I have a tire repair kit. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?208 |
| Triangle and Robert #209 | I'm feeling a little better now... by the way, how did you get down from your jetpack?
/ Well, I sort of didn't. / I kept going up until I bumped into the ground from the bottom.
/ That either violates geometry or physics. / Both. I checked. It also violates geology, astronomy, and Keynesian economics.
/ How...no.... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?209 |
| Triangle and Robert #210 | Are we anywhere near the next phase of your utterly pointless scheme? / We sure are. The Capitol's over there. Step five is to secretly switch the majority leader's coffee with these. / These aren't coffee crystals.
/ Dry ice is funnier. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?210 |
