| Triangle and Robert #241 | The most startling of my discoveries is that the Fourth Race were not polygons. / Polygons are not the first civilized species on this world, and from the name the Fourth Race gave themselves we can surmise that they were not the first either. / What name was that?
/ The Fourth Race. What, you think... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?241 |
| Triangle and Robert #242 | This plot is really dull. Can we go on a tangent? / Sure.
/ Uh oh, Robert, you said... / Ow! Gratuitous geometry pun!
/ And we're actually on a secant. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?242 |
| Triangle and Robert #243 | And so, secretly sent to destroy the artifacts secreted within this temple, I instead seek to secretly learn from there secrets. / Now draw some templey stuff so I can get on with it. / I suppose stairs are a start. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?243 |
| Triangle and Robert #244 | Egad! The Pudding-Watcher has returned for me! / No, that's an archway.
/ Oh. / What were the two circles?
/ Just messing with your head.
/ I don't have a head. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?244 |
| Triangle and Robert #245 | Peculiar. / The writing on this tapestry is not in the script customarily used by the Fourth Race. / It's Wingdings.
/ Wingdings?
/ I didn't have any ancient-script fonts, so I used Wingdings. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?245 |
| Triangle and Robert #246 | You don't actually know anything about archaeology, do you?
/ No. / So long as you're drawing the expedition I'm not going to be able to make any important discoveries.
/ No, only plot-advancing ones. / So why don't you do some other plotline for a bit and let me do the archaeology.
/ Sounds good to ... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?246 |
| Triangle and Robert #247 | Hi! It's Prozac the Bear!
/ Hi! I'm Prozac the Bear! / Hi. I'm trying to think of some short plotline I can put you in without interfering with the main Triangle and Robert story.
/ Hi! I'm Prozac the Bear! / Yes, hi. Have any suggestions?
/ Hi! I'm Prozac the Bear! Let's go on a fun-filled magical romp... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?247 |
| Triangle and Robert #248 | Hi! I'm Prozac the Bear! This part of the author's psyche is called his "short-term memory". / Everyone say it with me: "short-term memory". http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?248 |
| Triangle and Robert #249 | Hi! I'm Prozac the Bear, and I'm still in the author's psyche. Oh goody, someone's coming! / Hi! I'm Prozac the Bear!
/ Hi! I'm the artist's irrational fear of potatoes! / Hi! I'm Prozac the Bear!
/ Okay, as long as you're sure you're not a potato. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?249 |

| Triangle and Robert #251 | Okay, this is just embarassing and not at all funny. Get out of my psyche. / You too.
/ No. / But I want fries. / No you don't. Eat fries and the tiny larvae hidden away deep inside them will devour you from the inside out. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?251 |
| Triangle and Robert #252 | Why didn't you tell me? / Tell you what?
/ This tablet... you can't deny it... you must have been one of... / No. I was not.
/ The tablet says...
/ Remember, I am not of your world. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?252 |
| Triangle and Robert #253 | Then what are you?
/ An inept cartoonist. / No. What else?
/ A computer science student. / No. I mean what are you. / Um... a tuberphobe? An ex-accordionist? Part Irish? What are you getting at? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?253 |
| Triangle and Robert #254 | And now you cut back to us?
/ You confused yourself, didn't you? / Uh, yeah. Where was this plot supposed to be headed?
/ Austria. / Right. Meanwhile, in Austria... Hey! You just made that up!
/ Made you look! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?254 |
| Triangle and Robert #255 | Hey! The mysterious ellipse from several weeks ago! It's moving! / I think it's trying to say something.
/ ... / I won't refer to any little boys falling down a well if you won't.
/ Deal.
/ !! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?255 |
| Triangle and Robert #256 | Meanwhile, in darkest Scotland...
/ Not a chance. / You have Cube and Orpuddex and the oval and the temple and whatever that tablet says and Prozac and potatoes.... Call me when the plot thins a little. / But that could take months.
/ Find a way to hurry it up then. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?256 |
| Triangle and Robert #257 | I am no more of your world than Orpuddex is. I am a human as the Fourth Race were, yes, but I am not one of them. / I thought you were saving the "Fourth Race was Man" revelation for after the Oval opened. / I thought I was too, but I couldn't keep track of the whole plot so I'm playing some of my... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?257 |
| Triangle and Robert #258 | The oval! It's opening! / It's... it's opening! The oval's opening!
/ It is? / Come on! Draw the thing opening already!
/ I don't think it's opening. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?258 |
| Triangle and Robert #259 | ...TRI...ANGLE...
/ What? Hello? You can talk? / ARE...UNDERSTANDING ME? CHANGES OF LANGUAGE SINCE LEFT...
/ I can understand you, yes. What are you? / REMEMBERING TRIANGLES FROM BEFORE... ONLY IN BEGINNING STAGES THOUGH...
/ I smell hard-to-follow exposition. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?259 |
| Triangle and Robert #260 | I don't think I can pull this off.
/ WHO SPEAKS OF WHAT?
/ Huh? / I had this whole story arc thing planned out, but I don't think I can do it and still be funny.
/ So we're going to abandon another potentially-gripping plotline to its fate? / Yeah. Business as usual.
/ How do you live with yourself? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?260 |
| Triangle and Robert #261 | So you're backing out of the whole Oval plotline? / Yup. Can I borrow your teleporter?
/ Sure. / And so another third panel dies, jokeless, alone, and unloved. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?261 |
| Triangle and Robert #262 | By the way, did you know that cursed relic thing was never destroyed?
/ What Then that means... / that means Triangle and Robert are a pair of incompetent nincompoops who can't possibly be trusted with the Oval! / Yup. You'll have to go take it from them. Use this teleporter. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?262 |
| Triangle and Robert #263 | Hey Orpuddex, Cube's headed towards the oval.
/ WHAT? / I must stop him! For the sake of the universe, whicch I sort of want destroyed anyway but would buch rather destroy for myself, he must be stopped! / Then you should stop soliloquizing and start chasing him.
/ Good point. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?263 |
| Triangle and Robert #264 | RDCLBA Industries, how may I direct your call?
/ I know what this place really is and I need to talk to the Pentagon. / Yes, this is the Pentagon. What is it?
/ It's about one of your agents. Cube. / That backstabber! Tell me where he is! Now!
/ That's exactly the reason I called.... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?264 |
| Triangle and Robert #265 | Triangle! For the sake of the world, hand over the Oval! / I don't have hands.
/ Okay, then, um... vertex it over! / Sure. Here you go. What is this thing anyway?
/ No time to explain. I think the agency's after me. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?265 |
| Triangle and Robert #266 | Chosen One! For the sake of the multiverse, hand over the Oval!
/ Uh... Cube has it. / That cube has been a thorn in my side for too long. This time he dies.
/ Yeah, right, sure. / I have no time to listen to sarcastic taunts. The cube dies!
/ Okay. Go on then. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?266 |
| Triangle and Robert #267 | Citizen! For the sake of the nation, hand over the Oval!
/ You're too late. / Cube has it, and he's already on his way to, uh, do whatever it is you don't, uh, want done with it.
/ He... wouldn't... DARE! / Wouldn't dare to do what, exactly?
/ If you don't know I'm not going to tell you. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?267 |
| Triangle and Robert #268 | Orpuddex on the left... the RDCLBA on the right... no other directions to move in because I can't fly or dig and there's no working third dimension.... / This thing better work. / Huh? Where'd Cube, Orpuddex, and those government agents go?
/ Austria, if I set the teleporter right. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?268 |
| Triangle and Robert #269 | Here's your teleporter back.
/ Thanks. What did you need it for anyway? / Well as I said, I needed to back out of the Oval plotline because I had an elaborate story arc planned and forgot to put any jokes in it.
/ And the teleporter? / I got all the problematic plot elements in one place and got Cube... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?269 |
| Triangle and Robert #270 | Uh, did you say Austria? / Yes, I said Austria.
/ The teleporter doesn't go to Austria. / I thought it had enough power to go anywhere in the world.
/ The problem's not the power supply. It's the language barrier. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?270 |
