Directember: They See Him Rollin'

I wonder what that roomba is up to these days. Raising its offspring in Cubetown, perhaps? Sorry for not much commentary on this one, I was just on planes and trains for 14 hours and my brain is fried.

Directember: They See Him Rollin'

Comments

It semi-successfully monetized its brief notoriety, and now has an occasional podcast in which it criticizes robo-vacuums which report everything they know about your home to some big conglomerate somewhere.

You need to take an actual month off after your β€œmonth off”

The Bearmonster is unquestionably one of Jeph's finest designs, and is always in style.

Ursus Ridens

The Roomba and some of its offspring have started a colony among the seabirds on some Newfoundland cliffs (off Witless Bay, I think), where they emphatically do not clean up after anybody. They considered going to Iceland, too, but haven't figured out how to recharge mid-ocean. (Other possibilities include working their way over on cruise liners and just hitching clandestine rides on containerships.)

Ursus Ridens

He did say he'd begun writing them already when he announced his hiatus. I guess he caught up with himself, though. Trying to do the commentary while also drawing the comic is probably a lot.

I miss Roomba!

Sandy Lee

Same! I would have preferred he take an actual break if these couldn't be scheduled somehow...

Catherine Germann

OMG! How did I miss that this was a thing IRL?!? I need one!!!

Melissa Wilson

Jeph is writing commentary right before posting? I figured he blazed through a month's worth in advance (when he told us he was taking the month off) & is just posting one at a time, like I understood him to do w/ comics.

Emu-Roomba hybrids!

Dean Reilly

Planes and trains? Tell us more please

Brian

Thanks, I'd never heard of it either.

Clifton Royston

I'm on my second one! Still in nearly weekly rotation.

Melissa

@Carl Fink Ohhh, I get it! Thank you, I had never heard of that. The only Ghost Rider I knew of was a Marvel comic book character and that did not seem connected at all.

SilverbackRon

Roomba landed in the ocean and became the Director.

Sammitch

It's important that you never let your Roomba clean up human blood or it WILL want to kill you

William Cole

Headcanon: The Roomba now runs a very successful travel-themed YouTube channel called "Jet Engine Adventures". May is it's most loyal subscriber.

I had a lot of fun last time I was in the UK. I hope you have even more fun.

Carl Fink

Ghost riding was a fad in the first decade of the 2000s. You get a car moving, then hop out of it and dance alongside or around it, then hop back in and keep it from running into anything. Some modified versions involve getting on the car's hood or something. "Ghost" comes from the fact that the car looks like it has an invisible driver. It's quite dangerous, as you might expect. Unless the car is a sentient Roomba that doesn't want to kill you.

Carl Fink

planes and trains? You shoulda ghost-ridden a roomba.

Mad Marie

Still very happy I bought my own bear monster shirt

Zak Reichle

And when was the Roomba pulling a knife on someone messing with his woman?

Captain Button

Is this before or after the Roombas and cats team up against Pintsize and Hanners says she has the good stuff?

Miyaa

I completely forgot about this! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

Carrie

Some of us found out what ghost-riding was because of this strip.

ValdVin

Honestly I never got the "ghost riding the Roomba" line. Pintsize is walking beside it while dancing. Is that ghost riding?

SilverbackRon

I can't wait to see the roomba family drop in on Martin's coffee shop at cubetown one day

Isaac Boyles

That's why you have to be vigilant.

Michael Steamweed

I'll sign it.

Opus the Poet

What if Roombas have evolved Stealth Mode?

Captain Button

Ever since #3448 if any comic has visible sky I look for the Roomba. Someday my vigilance will pay off. Someday... https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3448

BookBeard

Just remembering this happened delighted me. ROOMBA! Living its best life out there I hope.

Anton

Please give us updates on your European vacation! I'd love to hear what you're doing while there.

Clifton Royston

Starting petition to politely request we get a plot featuring the roomba at some point.

Welcome to the UK Jeph. I hope things improved after the airport!

I listened to ghostride your whip a couple days ago.For the first time in years... so funny to see this

Probably at the bottom of a laundry heap xD

I mean really, what more needs to be said?

Please put them randomly in the background of different Cubetown panels with no explanation πŸ˜‚

Any automobiles as well?

What? No automobiles?

ROOMBA THOOMPA BOOMP

If you want to bring them back as the first coffee customers, I don't think there would be any objections.

Randall Norman Pick

I miss that shirt on Faye. When did we last see it?
