Triangle and Robert #871	Robert, I'm back... Robert? / Robert's gone! / Huh? / He's vanished, leaving behind a Robert-shaped cavity in the potted meat! / I'll take your word for that. / You can't tell? Hm... oh yeah. I get it. Right. White background, white shape... cute. He's definitely gone, though. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?871
Triangle and Robert #872	(Triangle's definitely learning.) / (I wonder if I can find a way to stand up.) / (Think, Robert, think! What have you learned about meat and magic? How... hee hee... "meat and magic"... that's funny...) http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?872
Triangle and Robert #873	I'm not dead. I've been dead and this isn't it. / Thus, I cannot logically be in the afterlife. / So why are the backgrounds all goofy and mock-surreal? Why are there backgrounds at all? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?873
Triangle and Robert #874	The rectangle is unbroken. Robert wasn't broken out... that implies teleportation. / The question then becomes: did he teleport out, or was he teleported out? / I'm more concerned with destination than motive. / The question then becomes: where? / You're just typing to see yourself talk now. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?874
Triangle and Robert #875	This isn't gratuitous background junk. It has a scent. / Wandering aimlessly around a pointlessly decorated landscape which may or may not be the afterlife is awfully dull. / The cartoonist's attempts to liven it up by messing around with dithering only make the situation more depressing. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?875

Triangle and Robert #876	The potted meat was tampered with! / Chosen one! Do you require my aid? / You're a) conscious, b) ambulatory and c) following me? / Whatever you added to our IVs acted quickly! I awakened sensing meat-related distress, so I pursued. / Meat-related distress? Since when have you been able to sense that?... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?876
Triangle and Robert #877	Tell me about your past, miss Concarne... if that's your name, I mean... / It is. / Well, explain some things to me. How did you become the Meat Sentry? How did you forget? Why did you join the ICI? Who, in short, are you? / I'm the Meat Sentry. Details can come later. / They can, but they won't. I know... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?877
Triangle and Robert #878	You claim to have sensed my "meat-related distress", and yet you failed to recognize the meat-based solution which was entering your body intravenously. / Uh... uh... / My fault. Writing error. / What / Uh? / You can trust her. Maybe not indefinitely, but at least for the current plotline and the one... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?878
Triangle and Robert #879	[[Mouse-drawn look]] / I'm not alone here, am I. / No. / [[Normal look]] / I mean other than you. / Still no. / Should I be able to figure out what's going on? / Not really. I haven't put in many clues. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?879
Triangle and Robert #880	I can explain my actions, but I can't excuse them. Don't take me with you if you don't trust me, but at least listen to my observations. / I suppose. / Note the tangy patches on the potted meat. / What tangy patches? / You have blinded yourself with self-reliance, Chosen One. Well, not blinded, per se,... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?880

Triangle and Robert #881	Perhaps your skill is great, but you still must have allies. Do not discount my potential... or Robert's. / Robert's? / He is not only a friend. He is a sidekick. You should not hold him back. His aid has benefitted you before and is likely to do so again. / You wouldn't be here to say that if he'd... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?881
Triangle and Robert #882	You know, you talk... big. We couldn't fit a punchline last strip. / Force of habit. / I did a lot of shouting in the Meat Enforcers. / Is there any chance you could turn it down? My ears hurt... no... I have a, uh, headache? My apex hurts. / You speak strangely. / I know. The Cartoonist has some strange... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?882
Triangle and Robert #883	[[Robert is drawn with a dotted line]] / You haven't pretended to go insane again, so this isn't a mock-up of your psyche.... / It's not precisely the afterlife.... It's not the Zone of No Pudding... it's... it's tangy. Almost like a pale imitation of... of course. This is the neural-flavored network... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?883
Triangle and Robert #884	You're right. I was so sure of myself I never stopped to taste the plot thickening around me. If you can tell where Robert is, lead me to him. / Sure thing! / Portally! / And meanwhile... / I know! Let's try it this way. A dark ferret has begun to creep over this land, and ancient ferrets have long spoken... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?884
Triangle and Robert #885	So I should start by climbing to the peak of the Ferret of the Distant Gods and pulling from the stone the ferret I find there! Why didn't you say so? / Well, yes, but... this is a MAGIC ferret. It'll look more like a sword than a ferret, actually. Almost exactly like a sword. / Not a problem. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?885

Triangle and Robert #886	Robert! / Triangle! You came! / Robert? Where are you? / What order are these panels in? / What panels? / What kind of portal was that? / A... very confusing one? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?886
Triangle and Robert #887	Okay, so now where are we? / I can answer that. / Robert! You're here! / I was here last strip too. / Yes, but here wasn't here. / Well, it is now. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?887
Triangle and Robert #888	We're inside the MSG. Its psyche, I mean. / It actually... thinks? / No. At least I don't think so. It's trying to think, but it doesn't know how, or something like that. / You're worrying me by making sense. / I'm worrying me too. How do we get out of here? / Ask Miss Concarne. I'm pretty useless at... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?888
Triangle and Robert #889	Is he always like this? / [[Robert doesn't answer]] / Oh, you're talking to me. Usually people only ask Triangle that question. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?889
Triangle and Robert #890	I'm not totally sure what's come over Triangle recently, but I think he's just begun to understand the extent of his culinary abilities. / I remember when I first understood the ways of meat. Triangle has at least four times my power. I think you've hit it on the nose. / What do we do? / We stay out... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?890

Triangle and Robert #891	How do we get out of here? / We wait. I believe Triangle will eventually do something appropriate. / It's not like I can't hear you. / Maybe you could have phrased that better. / I really don't think I could have. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?891
Triangle and Robert #892	Okay, logic time. It brought Robert here for a reason. We don't know what that reason is. Can we ask it? / I don't think so. There aren't any signs of actual intelligence. / If we knew where this neural flavored network substitute actually came from, we might get our answer. / Hey! You hit me with an... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?892
Triangle and Robert #893	By the Ferrets of Light and Dark and the Four Ferrets of the Earth, I command you to turn from these shores until the last ferret has gone from this land! / He never learned the incantation the right way! We're all doomed. / To seal this order I summon the Big Scaly Ferret Whose Name I Can't Pronounce... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?893
Triangle and Robert #894	It can't communicate. It wants Robert for something and it can't communicate. / It wants a messenger? / If it has a notion of "messenger", maybe. It seems like too high-level a concept. / Here's a thought! Just how powerful is this thing? / I was trying not to think about that, but the answer's approximately... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?894
Triangle and Robert #895	It's powerful enough to physically draw polygons into its psyche, but its psyche is just a... / The word you're looking for is "vacuum". / Can a psyche work like that? A vacuum, I mean? / Don't ask me, it's not my strip. / The idea does have a certain... attraction to it. / Aren't puns my job? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?895

Triangle and Robert #896	Wacky time! If this place is a metaphorical vacuum, let's take that metaphor and run with it! / How? / Like this. / He... took... the... metaphor... and... is... running... / As long as he doesn't hurt himself with the sharp parts I'm not going to worry about it. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?896
Triangle and Robert #897	Now what's he doing? / I think he's found the metaphorical outside of the metaphorical vacuum cleaner bag. / Is it possible to carry a metaphor too far? / He once hiked fifty miles pulling a big cart full of metaphors. / Fortunately, it's not my duty to understand what you're talking about. / That's a... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?897
Triangle and Robert #898	It won't tear! / I really thought he was onto something. / He probably is. / I am! Just keep talking! / Talking? / He has something in mind. / Uh... no! I have nothing in mind! Just chat amongst yourselves! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?898
Triangle and Robert #899	What now? I don't understand. / Good! / [[weird background effects]] / Okay, you can start thinking again now! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?899
Triangle and Robert #900	Robert, I really don't know what's going on now. / Yes. I know that. / Okay, now I / would really / Like some sort of / explanation / Don't ask me. / Please don't ask me. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?900
