Triangle and Robert #991 Hi! I'm Prozac the Bear! You might be wondering what's been going on. If you are, stop it. It won't help. / Now let's all eat pie. / fin

Triangle and Robert #992 Are we okay now? / Yeah. / So I can move five pixels without getting trapped in a plot hole? / Yes, yes. It'll only happen when I'm focusing on Prozac the Bear. / You're going to have to figure out what he was doing at the talk show sooner or later. / Am not!

Triangle and Robert #993 Hello. / Triangle. I was expecting you. / How? / I follow the strip. / Oh. So you know what I'm wondering about. / Mostly, but he didn't draw the actual diagram. / Here's a copy. / It's still not drawn. / No, but you can read it between strips.

Triangle and Robert #994 The Fourth Race must have had tools we don't. There's nothing special anywhere in the designated area. / Tools... oh well. / If you come across more information, let me know. I would like to get to the bottom of this. / I'm sure something will turn up. / While I'm still in the strip, can I say hi to my mom?

Triangle and Robert #995 The race is underway. There can only be, at most, one Eighth... Race... Wait. Go back and change that first word "race" to "contest". / Would you really want me to tamper in time like that? / Dialogue is not time. Nonetheless I see your meaning. / The race is indeed underway. I count four competitors. Does that match your count? / The MSG entity, the Cornersheep's version of the Fifth Race, the Ovalnaut's version of the Fourth Race, and myself. Correct. / I wasn't counting you.

Triangle and Robert #996 There is a small chance that Prozac the Bear will be the founder of the Eighth Race. / That's sick. / I know. It's a long shot, though. I'm not going to worry about it. / Worry about me. / There will be an Eighth Race, Orpuddex. You can't change that. / You wouldn't be so flippant if you could draw what I'm actually supposed to look like.

Triangle and Robert #997 Triangle and Robert Wacky Scheme Consultants, how may we inadvertently maim you? / Triangle, this is Cube. I have an idea. / Hold on. Robert, put that cricket down! It's already the right size for a cricket! / Sorry, Robert's come up with a sort of growth ray thing and I can't pull him away from it. / Does it work? / Strictly speaking, no. It can scale things up about eight hundred percent, but it introduces aliasing artifacts and everything's pixelly. / Sounds like the Cartoonist is about to start playing with a new tool.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?997
Triangle and Robert #998 What's this idea? / I want to go back to Tetris. I suspect that among the working Fourth Race technology there I can find astronomical equipment. / You barely escaped last time. / Right, and I should be able to do it again. / Okay, you can use the sub, but I'm coming with you. / That's perfectly fine by me. / I'll see if the Sentries can come. I don't think Tetris will be so easy to get into this time. / What about Robert? / No, I don't think so.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?998
Triangle and Robert #999 I wouldn't want to come along anyway. I'm busy with my experiments. / The Meat Sentry and I will come. There are... tensions. It would not do well for all five Sentries to share a submarine. / How did I get from home to Mr. Disease in less than one panel? / I needed to move things along. The thousandth strip is tomorrow.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?999
Triangle and Robert #1000 ... this is the best you could do for strip 1,000? / Sadly, yes. / Don't strain yourself. / ... / I hope I'm not the punchline. / {{signed: pshaughn}}
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1000
 
Triangle and Robert #1001 Never do that again. / I'm not promising anything. / It didn't even advance the plot. / Everything is the plot. / Except when it's non-canonical or you pretend it didn't happen. / Those too are plot, of a sort. / Was Cube the punchline? / No. I was.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1001
Triangle and Robert #1002 Is the submarine ready? / More or less. / Is this trip really necessary? I mean, aren't there other sites with Fourth Race technology that are less... underwater? / None in working order. The automata of Tetris have maintained the city. / On the way there you'll have to tell me what you know about Tetris. / That won't take long.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1002
Triangle and Robert #1003 Why... / Hi! I'm Prozac the Submarine! / That's it, the expedition's off. / Why is he a submarine? / I don't know, I don't care, I'm not going. / We can find another vehicle. / All aboard?
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1003
Triangle and Robert #1004 Hey Triangle, I... / What? / Why is he a submarine? / I'm trying very hard not to care. Now what is it? / I just found a... no, this is bugging me. I'm going to ask why he's a submarine. / Splash splash!
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1004
Triangle and Robert #1005 The pharmaceutical one has become the submarine of the wacky rhombus and the Chosen One. I find myself baffled. / It's definitely a puzzle! / Everyone, I talked it over with Mr. the Bear and I think I understand the situation. I'll have to tell you between strips, though, the Cartoonist hasn't figured it out yet. / Well, I've figured out PART of it, he's being drawn toward Tetris because of his potential destiny to found the Eighth Race. It's just the whole rest of the situation I haven't figured out.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1005
 
Triangle and Robert #1006 Any questions? / Why haven't the other potential Eighth Race founders turned into submarines? / They don't need to go to Tetris. They already have enough power. Also, I don't think they could change shape anyway. Prozac is a very special case. / How do we get to Tetris now that Prozac gutted the real sub? / You could use a giant water beetle.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1006
Triangle and Robert #1007 Pardon me... do you HAVE any giant water beetles? / But of course. / On the voyage to Tetris... / How exactly are we breathing? / Are we breathing? / I'm taking care of that. / [[DEHYDRATED OXYGEN]]
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1007
Triangle and Robert #1008 Prozac sighted to aft starboard and closing! / Does a beetle have a starboard? / I'm an ice cream man, not an etymologist. / No, you're an archaeologist. And you mean "entomologist", not "etymologist". / No, I mean "etymologist". It's a question of the origin of the word "starboard".
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1008
Triangle and Robert #1009 Prozac is overtaking us. Is that a problem? / I don't... think so.... I doubt he's going to interfere with us. / Can this beetle go any faster? / I don't know. Robert didn't go into detail. / This thing doesn't have a kitchen!
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1009
Triangle and Robert #1010 [[Linda, Mr. Disease, Triangle, Robert, and Cube are traveling to the ancient city of Tetris aboard a giant water beetle.]] / It's a giant beetle! Of course it doesn't have a kitchen! / I have been in giant beetles that had kitchens. / When? When have you ever been in a giant beetle before? / At the moment I cannot remember the exact circumstances. / Mr. Disease! Stop teasing the Meat Sentry! We're almost there.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1010
 
Triangle and Robert #1011 [[Triangle, Robert, Cube, Linda, and Mr. Disease are traveling to the ancient city of Tetris aboard a giant water beetle.]] / "Stop teasing the Meat Sentry" sounds ... um ... / Vaguely obscene? / Yes. / Different worlds, different standards. Anyway, Cube was about to tell me about Tetris. / There's not all that much to tell. / It was an experimental city of the Fourth Race maintained by their polygonal automata. After it sank, the automata continued to guard it for their drowned masters. I believe that the Seventh Race began when some of these polygons developed independent intelligence.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1011
Triangle and Robert #1012 I smell inconsistency. / Yes, I'm defrosting some. / No.... Cube, was Tetris inhabited by humans or polygons? / The city was ruled by humans. Its day-to-day running was handled by primitive constructs which, from a purely geometric perspective, can only be termed "polygons". / Exactly how much intelligence and autonomy did these polygons have? What you are saying now contradicts what you said about that videotape.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1012
Triangle and Robert #1013 The videotape contained no humans. Perhaps it was made after the city sank, or after the death of the Fourth Race. / So the automata made it themselves? / They might have had standing orders to make time capsules or almanacs. / See? No plot hole. I know what I'm doing. Ha ha!
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1013
Triangle and Robert #1014 Prozac the... Submarine... is on a collision course with the western wall of Tetris. / What is he up to? / I'm not sure, but I think he's trying to play Dr. Mario. / Play what? / That's what it looks like to me too! / Cube! Stop him! He's going to destroy the city! / Doctor... Mario?
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1014
Triangle and Robert #1015 If he moves adjacent to that block sticking out near the top, he'll start a chain reaction that'll destroy most of the wall and flood the city! / Line of four there, those fall that way, hit there... she's right. You'd better stop him. / How? I don't even know what Dr. Mario is. / I can talk you through it, but there is little time. Begin by causing a red object to fall upon the rightmost blue spire. / Green! / Red. Believe me.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1015
 
Triangle and Robert #1016 Put the yellow and blue piece to the left of the center! / No! Put it out of the way! / Don't worry about the other colors, just the blue. / Everyone, slow down. I don't understand. / Put the red three on the black four!
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1016
Triangle and Robert #1017 What is he doing... in the... subma... uh... uh... / The pharmaceutical does not obey the rules of polygons. / He was a submarine. Now he's not. He has no continuity. / We need to get to Tetris. Prozac as the Eighth Race would just be wrong. / Yay! I'm coming with you! / We... / We can't stop him.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1017
Triangle and Robert #1018 Where do we dock the beetle? / I think it's docking itself. / I suppose that's one advantage of giant-insect transportation. / The city is vast. How will we find our way? / I know! I know! / I'm not following the pill!
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1018
Triangle and Robert #1019 Follow the main thoroughfare east until you reach a series of ramps, then follow the grey markings upward. Avoid detection and you'll soon reach the aerospace center. / How do you know all that? / I'm Prozac the Bear! / Are we to follow this antidepressant's directions? / It's no worse than wandering randomly. Just stay alert.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1019
Triangle and Robert #1020 Come. / I told you, I don't trust the pill! / We don't know what it has planned! / And thus we need to be prepared for contingencies. Help us. / I'm telling you not to go! That's the only help that'll do any good! / Well, at least rescue us when the automata catch us or whatever. / Fine, but I'll still say I told you so!
