Triangle and Robert #181 Wacky is filling your car's tank with 3-octane gasoline. / Gotcha. / Absurd is filling your car's tank with a ferret. / What if you cut out the middleman and just fill the ferret with cheap gas? / Well, you could do that... probably... I guess.
Triangle and Robert #182 Wacky is a new lifeform evolving in your fridge. / Okay.... / Absurd is your fridge evolving into a new lifeform. / That reminds me... / We need to go to the grocery store and buy some more RNA. / You're not paying full attention. / Of course not.
Triangle and Robert #183 Wacky is when the men's room is out of order and you have to use the ladies' room. / Yup, that's wacky. / Absurd is when the men's room is out of order and you use a cabbage. / Hold that thought. / I have to go to the salad. / That's seriously wrong.
Triangle and Robert #184 Wacky is talking toast. / Yup, good example of wacky. / Absurd is shoving talk-show hosts into a toaster. / Even the ones that deserve it? / Well, sometimes absurdity is justifiable.
Triangle and Robert #185 Wacky is... / Can I do one? / Sure. / Wacky is mistaking bait for pasta. / Right.... / Absurd is strangling your grandmother's parakeet with its own intestines because it won't shut up about badminton. / I think you're missing the point. / But it's absurd, right?
 
Triangle and Robert #186 Wacky is getting drunk and thinking you're Robert Frost. / Absurd is turning into Robert Frost whenever you get drunk. / What about whenever you get angry? / Hmm... "The Incredible New Hampshire Poet". I see definite television possibilities. / See? Absurd is fun!
Triangle and Robert #187 Wacky is planting birdseed. / A classic. / Absurd is when it grows. / No, that's still wacky. / It is? / Definitely. It's not absurd until the eggplants hatch. / Good point.
Triangle and Robert #188 Well, Robert, you now have a firm grasp of the line between wacky and absurd. / I sure do, Triangle! / Are we going to change our current scheme to something a tad more sensible? / No. / I didn't think so. / And now back to our absurdity, already in progress.
Triangle and Robert #189 You win. I'll bury the ground pork. / Great! / And then some stuff that I don't bother to draw happens, and then... / That was one ticked-off vole. / Loves his mother, though.
Triangle and Robert #190 Okay, step four is we fly to the Capitol. / That's remarkably sane. / Go get the jetpacks. / Ah, there's the silly bit. / Why do you always say that like it's a bad thing? / To create dramatic conflict.
 
Triangle and Robert #191 I'll go order dance supplies for the fish while you get the jetpacks ready. / Um... I guess they're ready, it would help if I actually knew what I was doing.... / Or if I knew what jetpacks looked like.... / They don't normally carry fish sizes, but they'll special-order everything and rush deliver it since it's for a good cause. / What cause was that again? / I forget.
Triangle and Robert #192 Robert! How the fractal do you steer these things? / Um... / Why are we using jetpacks anyway? / Because it's funny! / We could have done some jokes about airline food! / Why didn't you point that out earlier?
Triangle and Robert #193 I'm turning my jetpack off. / What? / It's the only way down. The ground can't be that hard, considering it's never drawn. / Elegant reasoning. / That looks fun! / Yargh!
Triangle and Robert #194 I can still see Triangle down below. He's falling pretty fast. / I wonder how high we are. It's hard to tell without the ground being drawn. / THUMP! / Triangle? Are you okay? Can you hear me? / zootlewurdlezootlewurdle... / Cratery.
Triangle and Robert #195 Whoa. You got banged up pretty bad. / I'd better get you to a doctor. / No... I'll take you to an appliance repairman. That'll be funnier. / (I'm doomed.)
 
Triangle and Robert #196 TRIANGLE. / What... who are you? Where am I? / BETWEEN WORLDS. YOU HAVE DIED. / Darn. / THE FALL INJURED YOU FATALLY. THE RHOMBUS TAKING YOU TO AN APPLIANCE REPAIRMAN DIDN'T HELP ANY EITHER. / Again: darn.
Triangle and Robert #197 That's... it then. He's dead. We hardly even knew each other, really. / Dead. Dead. Dead. / I can't think of anything funny to say for the third panel.
Triangle and Robert #198 My fault for coming up with this pointless scheme. My fault for wanting to use jetpacks. / My fault for not taking you to a hospital. Dead, dead, dead. / The fact that you're pretty blatantly going to come back to life in a few strips doesn't make me feel any better for some reason.
Triangle and Robert #199 Dead. Dead. Dead, dead, dead, dead dead dead. / Author? That's enough angst. You can bring him back now. / Hello?
Triangle and Robert #200 Well. This is the 200th strip. / Triangle's still...dead. / Darn.
 
Triangle and Robert #201 What are you? / A MESSENGER. / Oh, great. More plot stuff. / YES. MORE "PLOT STUFF", AS YOU CHOOSE TO PUT IT. / And then I stop being dead? / PROBABLY. WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT IT ALL THROUGH. / Well. Gee. No rush.
Triangle and Robert #202 THIS IS NOT YOUR FIRST TIME BETWEEN WORLDS. DO YOU REMEMBER? / Dimly. This all has something to do with pudding, right? / EVERYTHING HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH PUDDING. / Everything? / WELL, NOT REALLY. BUT THIS DOES.
Triangle and Robert #203 WHEN LAST YOU CAME HERE, YOU WERE LED BY A DIFFERENT MESSENGER. / Right. Her. / RIGHT, WELL...THAT SORT OF THING HAPPENS. SHE WAS A TEMP. / She explained absolutely nothing and then ran off for no apparent reason and stranded me! / SHE DOESN'T WORK HERE ANYMORE. / I'd hope not.
Triangle and Robert #204 NOW THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO KNOW YOUR DESTINY. / Well? / I...FORGOT MY LINE.
Triangle and Robert #205 OKAY, NOW THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO KNOW YOUR DESTINY. / You sure? / I THINK SO, UM... YES! NOW YOUR PURPOSE SHALL BE REVEALED! / BUT FIRST, LET'S ALL GIVE A BIG HAND TO OUR SPECIAL GUEST, ED... HUH? THIS ISN'T MY SCRIPT. WHAT IS THIS? / Pathetic.
 
Triangle and Robert #206 NOW THE TIME HAS REALLY COME FOR YOUR DESTINY TO BE REVEALED. / Sure it has. / YES. IT HAS. SO COME ON OVER TO CRAZY SAL'S NEW AND USED... THIS CAN'T BE IT. WHAT PAGE ARE WE ON? / Don't ask me. You're the one with the book of eternity. / UM... HAVE YOU GOTTEN TO THE BIT WITH THE VOLCANO YET? / You're worse than the temp.
Triangle and Robert #207 I'm sorry. This just isn't working. / You're telling me. / I actually did intend your destiny to be revealed this time. / Well, it can wait. You got a couple decent jokes out of it anyway. / Why is it I can never introduce a majestic godlike figure without him or her immediately turning into a bumbling moron? / You don't want me to answer that.
Triangle and Robert #208 Ow. / Triangle! You're alive! / Yeah... apparently the cartoonist (and I use the word loosely) couldn't draw the afterlife. / Figures. / We should do something about my injury... Ow. / I have a tire repair kit.
Triangle and Robert #209 I'm feeling a little better now... by the way, how did you get down from your jetpack? / Well, I sort of didn't. / I kept going up until I bumped into the ground from the bottom. / That either violates geometry or physics. / Both. I checked. It also violates geology, astronomy, and Keynesian economics. / How...no. I won't give you the gratification of asking.
Triangle and Robert #210 Are we anywhere near the next phase of your utterly pointless scheme? / We sure are. The Capitol's over there. Step five is to secretly switch the majority leader's coffee with these. / These aren't coffee crystals. / Dry ice is funnier.
