Triangle and Robert #1381 ... and now I'm rambling in a stream-of-consciousness fashion which is totally uncharacteristic of me, and... Why can't I shut up? / Loading... / What do you mean, "loading"? Make sense! I'm confused enough by my own inexplicable monologue without you chiming in! / I needed vocabulary. / So you sucked words out of me? Won't that make me talking hard? Put back thing! / Have I made an error? / Gargle shiny rocks!
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1381
Triangle and Robert #1382 Do you know how to draw information? / Not really. / So this thing that isn't drawn might be some information? / I'm going to say yes. / Triangle! Bad news! / Banjo fingering disintegrates nacho radiation? / No, not that bad. MSG deposits are bursting from the ground all over the world. / That shouldn't juggle with a moose on the first floor. / You're right. It shouldn't. What are you talking about?
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1382
Triangle and Robert #1383 I'm borrowing Triangle's vocabulary. / Superfluidic origami thumps. / I take it this is the MSG entity speaking? / Yes. I doubt Triangle can understand me at the moment, so remember what I say and pass it along. / Can do, probably. / I'm undergoing a chain reaction. More and more of the Earth's mass is becoming part of my substance. Your crude attempt at a spacecraft was a good first step if evacuation becomes necessary, and I can assist in the construction of a less inept version, but I have no wish to drive you from the planet. Destroy my substance by any means possible. I will not die, not forever. I do not wish my life to be at your expense.

Triangle and Robert #1384 I moved this islet of my substance to intercept your craft, as I was unclear whether you needed assistance. / Thank you, but in the event of an emergency we could have used our seat cushions as a flotation device. / Don't worry about my survival. As long as there's glutamate somewhere in the universe, I'll rebuild myself. Do what you must. / Okay. Got any tips? / If I knew what to do I'd have done it myself. / Now I will return Triangle's vocabulary to him. Pass on the words that I have spoken. Go.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1384
Triangle and Robert #1385 Triangle, wake up. We're alive. / Can I talk? Okay, what happened? / We were in the MSG. It wanted to say something non-cryptic, so it borrowed your vocabulary. I hope it's all back. / I think it is. Wait, no. I can't remember the word for "smelling like the taste of aluminum". / Oh, great.

Triangle and Robert #1386 I'm missing more words. "Having five right angles." "Of or resembling quiche." "The sound produced by collapsing broccoli." / That's not good. / "A device for reflecting scent waves." "A type of protractor commonly used in pornographic films." "A six-pronged fork used to eat pecans"! / This is horrible! I can't even remember the pejorative term for the number pi! / Well, you probably weren't going to use that one. / But still!
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1386
Triangle and Robert #1387 I can't even remember what one calls it when a... a thing... thing... that... uh... I'm missing that one too! / Er... the vocabulary words you're missing... have you ever used any while in the comic? / Ohhh. / The MSG gave back your whole vocabulary. I just can't write you using words that I don't know. / Well, that's a load of linear congrue| / I can sometimes fake it using panel placement, though.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1387
Triangle and Robert #1388 Do you think this monosodium glutamateberg will take us to land? / Let's not wait. We can hollow a canoe out of the ham. / That sounds unpleasant. / You're the cuisine-mage. I thought you did that sort of thing all the time. / No. A canoe lacks subtlety. Let's make a yacht. / Mmm.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1388
Triangle and Robert #1389 Their experimental space-plane filled with ham having failed, the duo return home aboard a delicious yacht made of ham. / Their arrival, however, is not to be peaceful, as they soon discover / We already took care of it. / How do you know what I was going to... / The rampaging five-headed clammagon, right? We took care of it. By the way, "clammagon" is way too Flintstonesy.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1389
Triangle and Robert #1390 We still need to heal the Dairy Sentry. / Let's do the exact same thing we did before, but bring less ham. / That's awfully reasonable of you. / I want to find out what cosmic ray exposure does to me. / You know, anyone reading this comic for the first time today will be completely baffled by this conversation. / Well, I try.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1390
 
Triangle and Robert #1391 I see that you are building a yeast-powered spacecraft. Would you like some help? / No, we've done it all before. / Triangle? Who is it? / It's just Mr. Disease. / Might I suggest you use a more energetic blend of yeasts? / We're doing the exact same thing we did last time, Mr. Disease. We don't need your help. / I'm lonely.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1391
Triangle and Robert #1392 You're lonely? / The other Sentries threw me out. They said my methods were... unsound. / Was the giant clammagon your fault? / ...possibly... / Go away. We'll talk after Robert and I make a new Starham. / You do not wish to hear my humorous recollections of the disaster?
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1392
Triangle and Robert #1393 Ready to bring aboard ham! / Acknowledged! / Two hams loaded! / Radiation sheilding conveniently overlooked! / Hey, thanks! / Yeast gauges at what appears to be a little picture of a bagel with cream cheese. / That's optimal yeast pressure. Initiate countdown!
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1393
Triangle and Robert #1394 Ten! Why a bagel, anyway? / Nine! / It's not actually a bagel. It's hard to explain to a layman. / Eight! Try me. Seven! / It's a torus wearing a tutu, symbolizing infinity. It comes from the traditional dances of / Six! Never mind. I think I get the idea. Five!
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1394
Triangle and Robert #1395 Three! / You said "four" between strips. Strange. / Two! / One! / Space.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1395
 
Triangle and Robert #1396 Acceleration is ouchie. / I just realized something... / We're going into space to turn someone back from a letter G. There's going to be a pun about the measurement of gravity. / Probably not, now that you've called it. / It's getting hot. / Atmospheric friction. / Inside. / Oh, that's the yeast reaction. Everything's fine. / And you're on fire. / I know. / You're okay with that? / Pretty much.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1396
Triangle and Robert #1397 Aboard the still-rising spacecraft... / Robert, when you said I was on fire... / Yes? / Were you just making conversation? / No. You're on fire. / That'll be bad for our oxygen supply. / Shouldn't you be running back and forth and screaming? / Probably. / Okay. / Actually, you know what? / I'll go do that. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! / Fancy.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1397
Triangle and Robert #1398 Okay, I got that out of my system. / Why were you on fire, anyway? / I was standing too close to a baking duct. I think we're decelerating now. / So we're in space. / Low orbit. I wouldn't call it "space". / Wrong number of dimensions?
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1398
Triangle and Robert #1399 So that's what the Earth looks like. / It really it a four-dimensional hypertaco. / Wait, where'd it go? / It's still there, the Cartoonist just isn't drawing it. / The whole planet? / He's not drawing an entire world... in some strange way, I'm impressed by the sheer scale of that fact. / I know what you mean.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1399
Triangle and Robert #1400 Behold! Cosmic rays! / [[diagram of mathematical rays]] / They're exactly as I'd imagined them. / I thought they'd be non-intersecting, if not parallel.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1400
 
Triangle and Robert #1401 So have you put any thought into how to safely expose the ham to the rays? / Of course. There's a sealed ham hold with an airlock. / Oh. / But you can take it out wearing a dangerously unsheilded spacesuit anyway, if you'd like. / I wasn't planning to ask for permission, but thanks.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1401
Triangle and Robert #1402 I'm going for a spacewalk. Make something for me to eat when I get back. / Don't eat the Starhams! / I know. / It's cold in space. He'll want something warm. Maybe garlic bread and... no, I can't make soup without gravity. Mr. Disease could probably make gravity soup, but that's a different matter entirely. / You're not going to check on him and make sure the airlock does its job? / You wouldn't kill us both without advance warning. / What if that was the warning?
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1402
Triangle and Robert #1403 Ship to Robert. Do you read? / Acknowledged. I've constructed a new variant of upside-down cake for when you get back. / When you say "expose", do you mean... / No. Keep the spacesuit on. / Because the cosmic rays might sue us for harassment. / Right, depressurization too. / Uh-huh. / Yes. / And his other brother Darryl.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1403
Triangle and Robert #1404 Robert to ship. I can feel the ham changing. I don't think it's right, though. One of the hams... I think it's turning... / evil. / Triangle! Do you copy? Can you hear me? Anyone?
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1404
Triangle and Robert #1405 Robert? Robert! I've lost contact! The windows! Can I get a visual? / Only if I don't have to draw it. / Where is he? I don't see him! / He's not on this side either! No radio, no visual. Where did he go? If he doesn't show up soon... the yeast will only last so long.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1405
 
Triangle and Robert #1406 There's barely enough yeast for re-entry. If I wait any longer, this ship won't land. Robert's still out there. He'll run out of air soon. / I'm staying. / In some comics, that would be a touching display of loyalty. Here, you're just calling the author's bluff. I'm so lame. / Lame, and predictable. I win.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1406
Triangle and Robert #1407 ... snip ...ams ... oppos... ...es you read me? iunar not attempt rescue / Robert! Robert? Are you there? / The signal's gone. The signal's gone! Saying things twice makes them more dramatic. More dramatic! / There's a ham... on the wing! A HAM ON THE WING!
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1407
Triangle and Robert #1408 Cartoonist! / You just tasted a massive imbalance of meat energy, right? / Right! What's going on? / Well, there's sort of two Starhams now. One's evil. / Is the other one good? / I think so. It seemed to protect Robert from the evil one, anyway. / What's the sodium content? / I... don't... know? / Then I'll have to wing it. Tell the other Sentries to stay on the ground.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1408
Triangle and Robert #1409 Starhams, hear me! / [[star-filled space]] / One ham is with the rhombus and one ham is with the triangle. The rhombus feels nothing, the triangle feels fear. It's an easy shot with the right railgun rotisserie, alliteration not intended.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1409
Triangle and Robert #1410 Triangle? Are you awake? / Did I spend another plot point unconscious? What happened? / Do you want the short answer, the long answer, or the honey-glazed answer? / Let's start with an easier question. Where am I? / On the moon. / Oh. What's a moon? / Mostly rocks. There's some cheese, but it's not very good.
