Triangle and Robert #31 Okay, I'll try to make this as simple as possible. / Please do. / The Beforings. Beings outside time and space. Universe-builders. They created, and indeed still create, universes. This one we inhabit is one of their most minor creations, a sort of doodle made by one between creating proper universes. / Is that why we're so badly drawn? / No, that's just because the cartoonist is a lazy jerk. / Hey!
Triangle and Robert #32 The Beforings. Beings outside time and space. They created this universe and many others, each with its own identity and purpose. / This universe is the universe of pudding. It began as pudding and shall end as pudding. I was created by the Beforings to be the Pudding-Watcher. / The Pudding-Watcher? / Yes. I was to watch over the pudding of the growing universe, the growing universe of pudding. / Do you have any idea how silly this all sounds?
Triangle and Robert #33 Yes, I know it sounds silly to mortal ears. Still, it is all too, too true. / Okay, sorry to interrupt. / I was meant to be the Pudding-Watcher, and so I was at first. Then came my shame, my horrible error. / You sure you want to talk about this? / Yes, yes. Mortal ears need to hear of it, so that my mistake will never be repeated. / This is going to turn into a cooking lesson, isn't it.
Triangle and Robert #34 I was the Pudding-Watcher, and the pudding of the infant universe was my charge. / What... what happened? / I... I failed. The universe... it was a failure. The pudding became... it became... AAAAAARRRHH! / What? What did it become? What was so horrible? / No... no.... I know the tale must be told, but... my shame... I dare not speak it. / Wow. This is actually a pretty good story, sort of.
Triangle and Robert #35 Well, folks, I'm still all alone in the void between universes. / No, you're not. / I'm alone. The cartoonist doesn't count. / I mean you're not in the void. / I'm not? Then why can't I see anything? / I don't draw backgrounds. You should know that by now.
 
Triangle and Robert #36 Where am I? What happened? I remember... I remember trying to find the library... and there was this woman. She took me somewhere... somewhere strange. And now I'm here. / That's as good a recap as any. / So where is here? / On behalf of the Square Guild, we welcome you to Metric Land. / No. I'm not doing an Oz parody.
Triangle and Robert #37 Are you a good geometer or a bad geometer? / Well? Are you a good geometer or a bad geometer? / Why won't you answer us? / I categorically refuse to participate in any childrens'-story parodies.
Triangle and Robert #38 Ding dong, the geometer is dead, the wicked geometer is dead! / Look, I'm just NOT going to play along with this one. / I am Symmetra, the Good Geometer of 90 Degrees. / I'm not listening, I'm not listening, I'm not listening. / La la la, la la la, la la la, I can't hear you. La la la, la la la, la la la, I can't hear you. La la la, la la la, la la la, I can't hear you. La la la, la la la, la la la, I can't hear you.
Triangle and Robert #39 Oh. Let me guess. The Dotted Line Road. Just... just give it up, okay? / Help me down from this pole! / Get bent. / Oil me.... / Find someone who cares.
Triangle and Robert #40 Uh... you awake? / I'm not moving until this feeble-minded Oz parody is over.
 
Triangle and Robert #41 OK, you win. I'm cancelling the Oz plotline. / Good. I can go home now? / Triangle, you've had the power to return home all along! / AAAAAAGH! / Sorry, what do you expect when you give me a straight line like that? / Human decency would be nice.
Triangle and Robert #42 So the Oz parody is really over? / You have my word. No more Oz jokes. / Why should I trust you? / Because I just got a great idea for an I Love Lucy parody. / Author? You got some 'splainin to do!
Triangle and Robert #43 The pudding grew lumpy. / Huh? / The universe, the universe of pudding which I was created to watch over.... I failed. I don't know what I did wrong, maybe I should have stirred it more.... / That's it? / What do you mean, "that's it?" An entire universe was my charge and I failed it! / But how would it being lumpy or not have mattered? It's not like anyone was planning on eating it... were they?
Triangle and Robert #44 Mortal, you simply do not comprehend the magnitude of my failure. / Sure I do. A bunch of pudding that nobody was going to eat anyway got lumpy. / Not merely a "bunch" of pudding, mortal! Not a "bunch"! A UNIVERSE of pudding! A universe that was meant to have a soft, creamy texture! Lumps in such a pudding aren't just a culinary annoyance! Lumps like that have their own gravitational pull! Now look what you made me do, there's no room for artwork in this panel. / Gravitational pull? Are you saying... / Yes. / Planets? / Yes. / Stars? / Yes. / ...US? / Indirectly, yes.
Triangle and Robert #45 The entire universe... my whole reality... all because of your one mistake? / Everything but the artwork. That was your cartoonist's mistake. / What do you mean, MY cartoonist! Who do you think's drawing you? / Is that the only reason you didn't run from me in terror? Because I'm badly drawn? / Well, yeah. You mean you didn't realise it? / Heck no! All this time I kinda figured you were the Chosen One. / Should I bother asking?...
 
Triangle and Robert #46 No Oz parodies, no I Love Lucy parodies, no Brady Bunch parodies, no Star Trek parodies, no Poewrpuff Girls parodies, no Saturday Night Live parodies. I am doing NO parodies. / Would you parody Get Smart? / I will not parody Get Smart. / Would you parody Newhart? / I will not parody Get Smart, I will not parody New-- Hey! No Dr. Seuss parodies!
Triangle and Robert #47 Why can't you just drop me into whatever plotline Robert's in? / He's getting some exposition right now that I don't want you to know. / What's the point? He'll just tell me when I see him. / Good point. I'll have to give him amnesia. / Just when you thought it was as contrived as it could get...
Triangle and Robert #48 Wow, I can't wait to tell Triangle all this! Imagine, him being the Chosen One and all... / Tell him nothing. / Oh? Oh... I understand. / Just to be sure, I'm going to have to eat your memories. / Will it hurt? / OH, yeah.
Triangle and Robert #49 Help! Someone help! The Pudding-Watcher is trying to eat my memories! / Whew! I should be safe in here. / DARN! I knew I should have taken the sign off that door.
Triangle and Robert #50 Happy 50th strip from all of us here at Triangle and Robert! / That gets me out of writing any jokes for today...
 
Triangle and Robert #51 Robert? How'd you get here? / Triangle? What are you doing in here? / I asked you first. / Well, the Pudding-Watcher was chasing me around in a haunted pudding factory trying to eat my memories... / Whatever. It can wait. / Yeah, it probably can. What now?
Triangle and Robert #52 Now, we... um... / Er... hmm. / Well. We're not asking the author for help, I know that much. / That's a given. / Any idea where we are? / It's called the "Zone of No Pudding," if that helps at all. / Doesn't ring a bell.
Triangle and Robert #53 By the way, I heard you had some exposition for me. / Exposition? Oh yeah... / You're the Chosen one called by the Beforings to punish Orpuddex for his crimes against pudding. / Will it make any more sense if I ask you to explain it? / Not really. / Then don't bother. Speaking of pudding, is there anything to eat? / Does lint count?
Triangle and Robert #54 So we're going to starve to death in a zone between universes? / Well, we at least have our memories. / If that's supposed to mean something, come out and say it. / Well, if Orpuddex wanted to eat my memories, maybe they have some sort of nutritional value. / It's worth a shot. Which memories should we try? / I know pi to 72 decimal places. I don't think I'll be needing it any time soon.
Triangle and Robert #55 So start reciting pi and we'll try to eat it. / 3.141... I just realized something. / Huh? Oh... eating pi. / Do we want a pun like that on our conscience? / I guess not. Do you have any other useless memories we can eat? / Do memories of lint count?
 
Triangle and Robert #56 I'd sooner starve to death than ask the author for help. / I'm with you. / We need to get back to our own universe, and soon. / Right. / And when we do, there's some sort of monster who'll try to eat your memories and/or kill me? / Not really a "monster", but basically. / We are so dead.
Triangle and Robert #57 I've got it! / What? / The cartoonist tried to put me in an Oz parody a little while ago. / Oz? Why didn't you say so? / Because it's so demeaning... / Give me the shoes and I'll do it.
Triangle and Robert #58 There's no place like home... there's no place like home... / OUR home, you stupid shoes! OUR home! / I don't want to nitpick, but how did you click your heels with no feet? / You make a very good point.
Triangle and Robert #59 Let's try it together. / One... two... three... / There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home. / Hooray! We're home... I think. / Maybe we should put up wallpaper or something.
Triangle and Robert #60 Is this home or are we still in the void? / I'm telling you, we seriously need to put up some wallpaper. / So you think we're home? / Can't you smell the radon? / Radon's odorless, and I don't think we have radon anyway. / Oh. In that case, I let one.
