| Triangle and Robert #1321 | You're right. It'll take too many panels for the MSG entity to communicate. I have a plan. / More panels to speak in. Good. I tried to hold back growth, avoid hurting Seventh Race. Unable to continue. Polygon extinction imminent if I am not stopped. Save yourselves. Destroy or exile me if feasible,... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1321 |
| Triangle and Robert #1322 | How much time do we have?
/ No matter how much time we had, how could we stop anything that powerful... / and that incomprehensible?
/ Maybe we don't have to stop it. / Ohhhhh. I'm hearing you.
/ You are? I'm just babbling randomly to avoid sinking into despair or panic.
/ Ohhhhh. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1322 |
| Triangle and Robert #1323 | Later, at the Locust Garden...
/ Triangle! Robert! I thought you would be coming! The situation is indeed grave. / Just to get any potential comical misunderstandings out of the way, you mean the situation of the growing MSG entity, correct? / Yes. Of course. This planet will be rendered uninhabitable... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1323 |
| Triangle and Robert #1324 | Will calling the Sentries even help? They never seem to accomplish anything as a team.
/ Those times are past. / The rancor caused by my entry into their group has passed. We are all on equal terms.
/ That's not the only thing they've argued about. / ...
/ Okay. That's not what I'm really worried about.... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1324 |
| Triangle and Robert #1325 | {{title:Triangle and Robert}}
/ will not be appearing in today's comic strip.
/ Vegetable! (and maybe fruit)
/ Grain! / Meat!
/ Dairy! / ...er... must I?
/ If I must, I shall.
/ {{small}} Metamorphic.
/ Are you satisfied? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1325 |
| Triangle and Robert #1326 | Metamorphic... so anything that once belonged to a traditional food group and changed? / Yes. I believe the connotations of the name are appropriate.
/ Well, they're not! / Food isn't rocks!
/ But rocks were pudding once. Some still are.
/ Maybe, but what about... OTHER rocks? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1326 |
| Triangle and Robert #1327 | You can't just randomly borrow terms from other disciplines to name food groups!
/ It's not random. / What's to keep people from magically declaring themselves Igneous and Sedimentary Sentries?
/ Actually, I am glad that you brought that up. / There is indeed such a thing as igneous food, and even an... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1327 |
| Triangle and Robert #1328 | Pudding hardened to form worlds. It is the magma of foods, or the food among magmas. It is igneous. / I believe that what the Grain Sentry, as the Food Pyramid, termed "Fats, Oils, and Sweets" could be adequately characterized as sedimentary: It is food which settles within the body and gradually hardens... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1328 |
| Triangle and Robert #1329 | So now you're saying that Orpuddex the Pudding-Watcher, our most ancient enemy, is actually a Sentry?
/ In a technical sense. / If it were just blasphemously absurd, that'd be one thing, but it also doesn't make any sense!
/ Calm down, both of you. We're not here about Orpuddex. / The neural-flavored... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1329 |
| Triangle and Robert #1330 | No. I am not making it up. The MSG entity's growth has already begun to have seismological effects.
/ So what do we do? / We must discern the process by which the entity grows and find a means of controlling it. The entity itself may be able to assist us in the first part.
/ Can we trust it? / Does it... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1330 |
| Triangle and Robert #1331 | This is why I didn't want you to get the Sentries involved. They just bicker for strips and strips and never resolve anything. / This has to be Mr. Disease's call, Robert. MSG is a mystery to us. We can only trust in his skills and wisdom. / You know, I never have totally gotten rid of the aftertaste... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1331 |
| Triangle and Robert #1332 | Chosen One!
/ What? I thought you were trapped in the Factory! / No. Why would you even think that?
/ Well, you hadn't been out of there in a while.... / So?
/ Never mind. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1332 |
| Triangle and Robert #1333 | I have thought on your words, Chosen One. I remain unconvinced. / So you came here because...
/ If all you have told me is true, then there must be some sort of test. / No, that doesn't necessarily follow.
/ Silence, mortal!
/ I'm not sure if I'm technically mortal.
/ Silence, Chosen One!
/ Okay. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1333 |
| Triangle and Robert #1334 | The only test I can think of would require at least a galaxy's worth of pudding, a fold in space-time to isolate it in, and billions of years. / I have the second one. / I shall see what I can do. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1334 |
| Triangle and Robert #1335 | That was foreboding.
/ Whatever bad idea the Pudding-Watcher has, I doubt he can actually carry it out. / Carry-out no, but... what if he has it delivered?
/ Excuse me? / I'm not sure. It sounded meaningful before I said it.
/ Moral: Don't say things. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1335 |
| Triangle and Robert #1336 | Gravy, by definition, must be at least partially liquid! What you're talking about isn't gravy! / What if you heated it in a vacuum to two thousand degrees Fahrenheit?
/ Why would anyone do that? / Both of you, calm down! We're not here to argue about anomalous brown substances! Focus on the MSG pr... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1336 |
| Triangle and Robert #1337 | On a lighter note, we have some potential clients.
/ We just got back from a consultancy gig. And just barely at that. / These are less fatal, except maybe the wind tunnel one. Let's say no to the wind tunnel one. / It must be pretty dangerous if you want to say no to it.
/ It's not the danger, it'd... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1337 |
| Triangle and Robert #1338 | Do you know how to wrestle audio equipment?
/ I don't think so, no. / That one's not really a wacky scheme anyway, more of a polygonitarian intervention thing. How about fishing?
/ For what? / Unspecified.
/ Any other information?
/ The address is in Arizona.
/ Oh great, now I'm intrigued. Darn it. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1338 |
| Triangle and Robert #1339 | Hello.... We've looked at your offer and we're interested, but we'd like a little more information before we accept. / Uh huh...
/ How many tentacles?
/ The dead were what?
/ So, did you try fire?
/ I see. / And the fishing part of it comes in...
/ Pool of what?
/ What is ichor, exactly?
/ Uh huh...
/ Right...
/ Bound... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1339 |
| Triangle and Robert #1340 | Are the undead wacky?
/ It varies. / Lovecraftian undead, then.
/ They could be wacky, but it's moot. They're not real. / Then how would you account for a tentacled monstrosity living in a pool of ichor and guarding a book bound in human skin by commanding the corpses of those it drowns?
/ Don Knotts... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1340 |
| Triangle and Robert #1341 | Listen, are you sure it's the corpses of the drowned?
/ Well, my partner...
/ Let me put him on. / I know you're up to something, you know you're up to something. Let's just cut to the chase. What's your scam? / Then I'll tell you. You discovered oil in the caves, but someone else had the mineral rights... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1341 |
| Triangle and Robert #1342 | So the guy hiring us is secretly behind the monster we're hired to investigate?
/ Yes. / And the reason we're taking the case is BECAUSE we know this? Yes. / So, you're going to use this as an opportunity to screw up in previously unimaginable ways.
/ He wants failure, we'll give him failure. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1342 |
| Triangle and Robert #1343 | Robert, the only reason I'm coming to Arizona with you is morbid curiosity.
/ I'm fine with that. / I'll start by sneaking around until I run into someone else, accuse him or her of sneaking around, and fixate on that person as a prime suspect even after evidence proves otherwise. With any luck it'll... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1343 |
| Triangle and Robert #1344 | Hi. We're the "detectives" you hired to "investigate" the "monster" and the "zombies" that have been causing all this "trouble". / You don't need the quotes. I know what you really mean. / "Sorry". http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1344 |
| Triangle and Robert #1345 | Am I going to be one of those characters who constantly stays off-panel to save the Cartoonist a few seconds of effort? / Apparently. / So I shouldn't have spent so much on this tie.
/ Honestly, it doesn't suit you. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1345 |
| Triangle and Robert #1346 | Just so I know what not to accidently discover, the pool of ichor is really...
/ Raw beef drippings. / And the zombies...
/ No zombies. I spread that story myself. / Tentacle monster?
/ Rubber costume.
/ How do you control the limbs?
/ Don't ask. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1346 |
| Triangle and Robert #1347 | Gosh, Triangle, these caves sure are awful spooky!
/ Sure, whatever. / Get into the spirit! We can at least look like we're trying to solve the mystery!
/ I have no problem with that, it's just that these caves, frankly, aren't particularly spooky. / You're right. Let's bring in a fog machine.
/ Detectives... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1347 |
| Triangle and Robert #1348 | Two fog machines, a small flock of large bats, a large flock of small bats, some glowing moss, and a public domain sound effects CD later... / Hey! What about the stray wolf, the motorized suit of armor, the strobe lights, and the spooky painting with eyeholes?
/ We took all those back out. They didn't... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1348 |
| Triangle and Robert #1349 | Gee, Triangle, this cave sure is spooky, finally.
/ The chill is palpable. / Hey! Watch where you're going!
/ Sorry, I couldn't see. / Where's all this fog coming from, anyway? And who are you?
/ We're the detectives Mr. Bellwither hired to investigate the monster. Who are you?
/ I'm the gardener. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1349 |
| Triangle and Robert #1350 | That gardener sure was acting suspicious, Triangle!
/ I think you might mean "suspiciously". / Either way, he was prowling around awful late for a gardener.
/ Also this is a cave. / Why is that significant?
/ Do caves need gardening?
/ I'm sure some must. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1350 |
