Triangle and Robert #303 Now what? / I guess we go home and wait for another plotline to start. / Which way's home? / I think we're home now. / We never did buy that wallpaper. / Hilarious shopping adventure, here we come!
Triangle and Robert #304 You really think buying wallpaper is going to be a hilarious adventure? / It's all in the way you look at it. / There are a few home furnishings stores in the area. Let's try the closest one first. / No, try the one with the silliest name first. / The closest one is called "Dolphin and Asparagus Interior Decorations Adventure Triple Plus Alpha". / Wow.
Triangle and Robert #305 It's a little too far to walk. Looks like we'll be enjoying an exciting public transit adventure! / There's nothing funny about today's public transit systems. They're clean, efficient, reliable, and inexpensive. / Oh. / In that case can we take a cab driven by monkeys? / I can't draw monkeys. / You can't draw cabs.
 
Triangle and Robert #306 Whew. We made it. I thought we'd be on that bus forever. / You said today's public transit systems were clean, efficient, reliable, and inexpensive! / Well, how was I supposed to know monkeys drove the buses? / It looks like we enjoyed an exciting public transit adventure after all! / This place better be open.

Triangle and Robert #309 Uh... let's walk to the next store. I don't want to ride the monkey bus again. / You're just upset about that little flinging incident with the driver. / I have a RIGHT to be upset! / Okay. We'll walk.
Triangle and Robert #310 This looks like the place. / "The Sane Home Store. Selling perfectly normal interior goods from this dimension with no bizarre curses attached to them for over 50 days." / Ominous. Or reassuring. I'm not sure which. / They better take sparkly objects in trade.
 
Triangle and Robert #311 How may I help you? / Uh... yes, we're looking for wallpaper. / Right this way. You know, we haven't had many customers here since the incident. Oh. That's nice. / Here we go. How does this wallpaper look? / What wallpaper?
Triangle and Robert #312 I don't see any wallpaper. Oh... you want VISIBLE wallpaper! I think they stopped making that. Stopped making it? When? Around the time the comic strip started. Wallpaper, chairs, lighting, nearly everything that could be used to establish a scene vanished. Victims of inability to draw. How sad.
Triangle and Robert #313 So even if we buy wallpaper, the cartoonist won't actually draw it. / It looks like that wraps up this hilarious outing! / Yes, it certainly does. / How are we getting home? / We'll take a scene transition.
Triangle and Robert #314 ...wallpaper... cartoonist... show him... make my own strip... / Way to seethe. / Hey! You want to see how a comic strip's supposed to be done?

Gun me! / I'm waiting and I don't see any whores! / Those aren't your lines. / Our lines blow Escher space! Make with the firearms! / I'm still waiting for tail.
 
Triangle and Robert #316: Dot and Other Dot This is my strip. There will be no guns or hookers. / Then there will be no Dot. / Or Other Dot. / Come, Other Dot. We leave. / THE END
Triangle and Robert #317 Uh... that wasn't what I meant to draw at all. / Harder than it looks, isn't it. / You sabatoged me. / Prove it. / Look, I'm doing another strip, and I want you to stay out of the way this time. / Fine. Go ahead.

Triangle and Robert #320 They're refusing to acknowledge me as their cartoonist and are only half-convinced I even exist! Stop messing with my characters! / I did nothing. / My characters aren't even mutinying, they're just denying the validity of the comic-strip worldview! You did something! / They're your characters. / Reluctant to force them into an existence paralleling your own, you allow them an escape in the form of philosophy. / But, then... where's MY escape? / You're using it right now.
 
Triangle and Robert #321 My existence is bounded by uncertainty. I have no clear idea why my universe bothers to exist or what function it serves. / I see... so knowing we're in a comic strip... / ...makes you no happier, but at least allows you to choose a different way of being unhappy. / So your constant appearances have nothing to do with a power trip at all. / I didn't say that. / Hey! Put me down!
