I thought Beef's expression in panel 4 was perfect and could not be improved.





...Until I saw his face in panel 5.  Wonderful, just wonderful.  I can't think of any better way to express "Dammit John Wilkes Booth!   You shot me, you mallet-head, you!"

I hate to admit this, but most of these recent Roomba bits haven't done much for me.  The alt-text for this one has made me a convert, however.  I only wish we could have seen Booth's escape and eventual demise as well....

Also, I really enjoy the little detail of Beef's crossed leg, particularly as I can in no way picture Lincoln sitting like that.

Yeah, that got me too. Actually, every expression on this one is beautiful. The look on Teodor's face as he putters away....genius. And the last panel, I'm having it carved on my tombstone.

Oops. Sorry about that. :) I thought I was losing it when I went to the blog topic and didn't see my post there. "It couldn't have been a dream... could it?!?"

A bit more relevant: I really like the Roomba moments. Each one has made me smile.

I just hope 'stad is getting paid for all this shameless Roomba plugging (or at least getting assloads of free Roombas).

I'm glad I'm not the only one with that impression.

And what's wrong with you people? How can there not be an outpouring of love for the dejected ride to The Cemetary?

How many Roombas(tm) to an assload?

I loved this strip even before I found the alt text. The alt text, though, really makes it -- we get the feeling of Chris watching over the Roomba Theater beatifically and a little apologetically for his own budget failings.

And yes, the expressions are priceless.

(As for the modding: since there's no way to split posts into a different, preexisting thread, I'm just going to leave them for now. Y'all be careful.)

Metric assload or Imperial assload?

Assload is an English measurement. It's the amount of Roombas that would fit into King Henry's ass.

I'm quoting this here instead of moving it due to limitations in the Mod Continuum.

Yeah, just cause a girl drinks til she pukes and gets all sorts of mysterious stains on her bridesmaid's dress doesn't mean she's stupid.  Sheesh!
