Triangle and Robert #781 In a dimly lit tunnel, Cube makes yet another bizarre discoverey... / / Apparently Cube doesn't talk to himself anymore. This could be harder than I thought.
Triangle and Robert #782 Fearing the mysterious motives of the Cartoonist, Cube refuses to reveal the nature of his latest archaeological discovery. / Steadfastly refusing to respond to narration, he stands silently, not letting any of his crucial knowledge appear in the strip. / Even drawing a speech line for him fails to...
Triangle and Robert #783 Cube's efforts to inconvenience the Cartoonist do just that. / Unable to coax Cube into narrating his latest find, the Cartoonist is instead forced to attempt to draw it. / Also, the silence of recent panels has caused the Cartoonist to begin referring to himself in the third person. Whether this will...
Triangle and Robert #784 The Cartoonist builds up his strength, leaving a strip devoid of visual elements so that he can focus his drawing skills on the challendge ahead. / In other words you're stalling for time. / That's not exactly how I'd put it... Hey! You said something! / Oops.
Triangle and Robert #785 The Cartoonist, still referring to himself in the third person, begins an attempt to bargain with Cube in order to avoid having to draw... well.. anything. / What can you offer me that would be more valuable than my continued survivial? As long as what I know is crucial to the plot and kept hidden,...
 
Triangle and Robert #786 The archaeological record has massive gaps. The Fifth Race had no written language, and the Sixth left very, very few records. The Pudding-Watcher and myself are the only beings who can fill these gaps. / ...help... / If you wish to truly comprehend your world's past, you must deal with one or both of...
Triangle and Robert #787 I've been here before. / Oh... I'm dead, that's right. I was exploring a tunnel, and the Cartoonist filled it with text and drove out all the air. / Apparently holding back information isn't enough to protect me... even if he needs me alive he can still accidentally kill me off. In this case incompetence...
Triangle and Robert #788 TRIANGLE. THE TIME IS NOW. THIS IS YOUR DESTINY... / I'm not Triangle. / YOU'RE NOT TRIANGLE. / No. / YOUR CARTOONIST SEEMS BENT ON MAKING OUR TASK DIFFICULT. / My cartoonist? I didn't vote for him.
Triangle and Robert #789 SO... UM... WHILE YOU'RE HERE, MAYBE I SHOULD TELL YOU SOME OF TRIANGLE'S DESTINY. YOU KNOW SINCE YOU'RE HERE AND ALL... / Hm... that would certainly give the Cartoonist some extra incentive to bring me back to life. Go right ahead. / OKAY. LET ME GET MY NOTES IN ORDER. THIS SHOULDN'T TAKE LONG.
Triangle and Robert #790 Triangle. Uh, Cube's... you know. / Right... / If you can come up with a way to revive him I'd appreciate it. / I'll get to it when I'm finished the MSG investigation. / You're just saying that to humor me. / Maybe.
 
Triangle and Robert #791 Robert. / Shh. I'm tracking the Gilliammobile. / Cube needs help. / After. / It'll be too late. / How so? / I'll explain later.
Triangle and Robert #792 Last time Cube was dead and I tried to do him a favor I ended up dead with him. I don't like being dead. / You won't die this time. Just find a way to get Cube back in time for the next greyscale strip and I'll make it worth your while. / I think I'd rather be paid in advance. You're not exactly a...
Triangle and Robert #793 Cube. Resurrection. Now. Name your price. / I do not have the power to perform the task you require. / What about the Ritual of Endless Bouillon. / No. Nothing you can offer will induce me to perform that recipe. Never again. / Oh no... I don't have time for a flashback. Don't you dare start talking...
Triangle and Robert #794 Triangle! Say "ducks"! / Ducks? / Thanks. / Time isn't running in a straight line at the moment and I need to use that panel later. / (I'm not even going to dignify that with a comic ellipsis.)
Triangle and Robert #795 When I was young, my mother taught me what she knew of the cuisine-magic. / I believe you are ready, my son. Prepare the broth. / I do not feel ready, Mother. / That wasn't what it looked like. There was grass, and a sky, and... of course. Even when I speak of times before the Cartoonist, his inability...
 
Triangle and Robert #796 To a rolling boil I bring six cups of water, facing northeast. / You proceed well. / Thus the bouillon is summoned, and thus... no, something is wrong. / I smell it. / I was young. If I had been more experienced, I would have turned off the heat and covered the saucepan... but I was a fool. The bouillon...
Triangle and Robert #797 Mother! The broth! What is it doing? / I don't know. / I saw a form slowing arising from the thick, noxious stew... / Cube? What are you doing in my flashback? / Flashback? I thought this was stroganoff.
Triangle and Robert #798 What's going on? Exactly why am I not currently dead? / This isn't how it happened at all. I don't think Cube was even alive then. Cube, get out of my flashback! / Is this a Firesign Theatre reference? / Okay everyone, stay calm. Mr. Disease, fade your voice out. / Like this?
Triangle and Robert #799 ...and that's, well, not really how it happened at all. / I'm alive! / Yes, somehow the Ritual of Endless Bouillon my younger self performed in my flashback summoned you from beyond. / Excuse me, sir, what's going on? Are you the Soup Fairy?
Triangle and Robert #800 I am upset at the Cartoonist's inept handling of my flashback. The incident I was attempting to describe was very important to me. / More importantly, now there's a younger version of you running around creatign a space-time pair of ducks. / QUACK! / QUACK!
 
Triangle and Robert #801 Triangle and Robert Wacky Scheme Cons... oh, hi, Mr. Disease. / I am glad that you have returned from Scotland. How was your trip? / I didn't find the Cornersheep or any MSG-related evidence, but I salvaged some nice equipment from the base wreckage. / I am in need of your aid once more. Due to the Cartoonist's...
Triangle and Robert #802 The Poultrycollider should make this job simple. / Poultrycollider? / It was in the Cornersheep's cryo-ornithology lab. He was working on using frozen chicken as a power source for small aircraft. / Cryo... ornithology. / Don't worry about it. You don't need the details. / Good. I don't want any reminders...
Triangle and Robert #803 I'll cut away to buy time. Triangle, get him to stop flashing back. I can give you about 5 panels. / ...a cafeteria... in a college... by a lake... / Meanwhile! / What took you so long? I've been hiding in Terry Gilliam's basement waiting. I need the strip focus in order to make my move. / This isn't...
Triangle and Robert #804 I could ask you how you got inside a vending machine, but I think I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader. / I could also ask you why you're in the Library of Congruence, but then I would have to write an answer for you and I don't think I'm up to it. / Instead, I will simply deposit the correct...
Triangle and Robert #805 Is he...? / He'll be quiet for the moment. I gave him a turkey sorbet. / That's disgusting. / Yes. Cryo-ornithology can be unpleasant. / So, are you ready to face the pair of ducks? / I'll be heading out as soon as I'm sure Mr. Disease won't need a stomach pump.
 
Triangle and Robert #806 Over there! Are those the... / Ducks? / Thanks. / Is that panel going to reappear every single time I say the word...
Triangle and Robert #807 Ducks? / Thanks. / Yes. Yes, it is. / And so, Triangle learned a valuable lesson: never say "ducks" when your cartoonist is, well, me.
Triangle and Robert #808 What if I say the word "duck", singular? Does that work? / Oh, good. In that case, I think I see the space-time duck and the other space-time duck over there. I'll lure them into range and activate The Poultrycollider. / The capitalized "The" is a reference to Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, in case anyone's...
Triangle and Robert #809 They're charging straight at me! / Ducks? / Thanks. / Ducks? / Thanks.
Triangle and Robert #810 And so, while the space-time pair of ducks was resolved, it left a terrible toll... / Triangle! I'm back and I brought you a present! / Ducks? / Thanks. / No, that's silly. Why would I bring you ducks? It's a souvenir replica of Terry Gilliam's housekey.
