The floors of the Brick House being filthy has been remarked on several times by Whiskey.
And the “I wish to register a complaint!” line is a lift from the Monty Python Dead Parrot sketch.
Busy strip today!
Reasonably Clever
Wasting your workday since some point in 1995.
Finally something that hath it’s own weaponry.
And if the floors are so dirty Mr HooverBot, you can clean them yourself.
Or maybe he did…
Sk8er Bois seem like they deserve a good optical hoovering. Giddyup!
Imagine what this webcomic would be like if Chris had gotten a dozen of these in the packets?
😀
I’m detecting hints of both HK-47 and kryten in the robot. he may well become an awesome addition to the cast.
And now I’m totally hearing the robot speaking in John Cleese’s voice!
As for the skater boys, when they speak in unison, I imagine it sounding like that scene in “The Matrix: Reloaded” where Neo is in the Architects office and there are hundreds of TV screens with little Neos on speaking at once. **SHUDDER**
Please tell me the robot’s name is Rosie.
The robot reminds me of marvin off Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy…
I’m imagining the Skaters talking like Wayne from Wayne’s World, the cheerleaders like some sort of teen idol, and the Robot like John Cleese. And the clown like Eric Idle.
As long as the robot doesn’t become a sort of K9 (from Doctor Who) I’m cool.
Now that you mention it, he does look like one of those K9’s
instead of meatpuppet, it should have been ugly bags of mostly water a la Star trek TNG
or meatbag, that’s what HK-47 called ALL orgincs, (he’s a super sadistic super advanced killer robot designed by the most powerful sith lord of all time, nuff said.)
yodamann: there will be time for more insults before strip 1000, there’s probably a good chance that’ll be included.
Man! I want a new main character sometime, to replace Foxtrot and Zombie Wash.
I hope the robot stays as a main charecter!
Monty Python! WOOHOO! 😀
Robots! Yay! Wait, please don’t make it disappear like so many other characters!
Why does that robot remind me of every single noble I’ve encountered in Dwarf Fortress? Heh.
dude where did you get th skull hoodie and th guy in the skull hoodie hair
The skater is from the LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series I line. (Read back in the archive a couple of weeks and you can see the packages they came out of.)
great job there, bringing back the ‘filthy floors’ joke. that was one of my favorites.
And hoovering someone’s eyes out is also from Monty Python, season 4…”don’t sit so close to the TV, you know it’s bad for your eyes!”
Not just Whiskey, when Tony Stark visited them, he thought the floors were filthy too.
