Jan

Version 3 is here, and attempts to rectify the issue of user discomfort by removing itself from the area of responsibility when triggered ;)

Need ideas for version 4! Jessie will be the test subject!

Also, where should Tor and Andrea stay in the meantime, between getting evicted and finding a new place? Jan and Amber's? Phil and Shiera's? Jessie's?

David Klandagi • 10/07/2018

I find it hard to believe Tor gets noise complaints. Wolfram, I can understand.

JDancer2017 • 10/07/2018

Better off with Jan and Amber.

How about an overtan

Mr.Phox • 10/07/2018

So will they go live with Wolf?

Robin Bobcat • 10/07/2018

I've got a fold out couch!

... it's in the kitchen.

AncientWolf • 10/07/2018

One side question: how is Jessie doing after receiving Wolfram's version of ECT (Electro-Convulsive Therapy)?

Maybe stay with Jessie for a while (1st choice) or Phil and Shiera's (I think they sleep in separate beds, so it might make Phil and Shiera have to share the same bed for once. ;)

If he's making one for Jessie, maybe he should make a "Snuggle Box for Two" and then he joins her in it... ;)

jprime • 10/07/2018

I like calmly acting out lines when the situation calls for it, like in the first three panels.

drakeye • 10/07/2018

Tor:Wolf were moving into your house now. you caused our eviction. Wolf:w-wha? Andrea:SQUEAK! Tor:what she said.

Navarre • 10/07/2018

I love Tor looking so happy in his dream chasing the rabbit. Me; I'd be looking like that with the dream of the giant carp. Beside the obvious underwater thing, do you have any idea how much gefilte fish I could make from that thing? ✡️

Joel • 10/07/2018

Version four needs some hydraulics for optimal angling of the box. Also cupholders.

Brighttail • 10/07/2018

It's Jessie's fault for making Andrea squeak all the time so it should be her, but I highly doubt that Andrea would accept such a situation. Can't live with Wolf as if they are out of a house, I highly doubt their medical/life insurance payments will be able to continue. Jan and Amber may be an idea but I think Phil too might be an option.

Of course you can always have them go to the Kiela or Sheriffs actor's houses. Brighttail too would take them in for a little while. :)

Brighttail • 10/07/2018

Jessie's Box:

Should come with an inflatable 'companion' to snuggle up with that also acts as an inflatable safety cushion for unexpected premature 'ejection'

Shockwave07 • 10/07/2018

On the temporary living arrangements, I think we can rule out Jessie and Wolf. Jessie because I think between the squeaking and growling this would be the end result... Plus wolf doesn't seem the type to plan for house guests in my opinion.

Maybe go with Phil and Shiera.

On the nap box: collapsible design to take it where you want.

GiacomoHawkins • 10/07/2018

With apologies, I seem to have commented on last week's strip.

Batteries ⇒ Explosion Compressed air ⇒ Explosion

With all due respect to Wolf's ingenuity, he appears to be trying to apply an engineering solution to a biological problem.

If he is willing to go outside of his regular field of expertise, he might consider gene splicing up a plant with some mobility to follow the sun and drag the box along with it.

The Windex people already have a prototype for him to start with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUduDnLYIiw

I think Jessie in particular would be extra appreciative of some kind of sturdy vine monstrosity.

Katnik • 10/07/2018

Just put the whole house on a big turntable so the window always faces the sun (Sunflowerhouse). The kids can stay at my place. I don't mind an occasional squeak.

Maryalee • 10/07/2018

I was going to say Jan and Amber, then I remembered Amber can get a bit animated on raid night, so Phil & Shiera might be quieter. But either one would put 4 people sharing an apartment, and disaster lies in that direction. Jessie would be fewer people, and an opportunity.

Ever since the last encounter between Jessie and Andrea I've been really, really wanting to see Jessie do a heartfelt apology to Andrea, even opening up about what seemed to be causing her to act out. Maybe Andrea can't forgive quickly, but it would be a start. I don't like seeing friends acting like Red and Blue. "Friendship" matters -more- than that.

Again the box seems to suffer from a single point of failure. I say remove the motion sensors and just keep the temperature ones. Allowing too much complexity in a Wolfram invention is inviting a Version 6.75.

Frank • 10/07/2018

Please, you know they're going to move into the Swords and Sausages set

Panther • 10/07/2018

Well ! Normally , Andrea and Tor won't be immediately evicted : they have some time to get a new home . Or else , i welcome them at my place

Even if it's Tor fault , Wolf is still responsible of it : i had warned to not let him built a new version . What about a bunch of peoples wanting to burn him to a stake now ?

William • 10/07/2018

Got a chuckle again. Nice comic. The girls should make Wolf take them in. 4th. How about a minor rocker vibrator for gentle sleep. Of course with Wolf nothings minor.

Kaelgren • 10/07/2018

Ottah say Andrea and Tor stay at Jessie's place since Jessie already feel horrible about picking on Andrea.

As for box, room for two and a massaging unit!

soriac • 10/07/2018

Interesting that Tor of this reality is afraid of carps as well. And nobody catch Wolfs quite stretch of the previous test subjects yet? I highly doubt that the conclusions Shiera and Jan gave could be considered "raving reviews", maybe "raving mad reviews" would have been closer to it?

Zaphire D'fox • 10/07/2018

Clearly, based on the outcome of this version, the next version needs to include some form of noise dampening, both to "help" the kitty sleep, and to prevent sounds from the kitty (or more critically the device) from disturbing others. How to achieve this though... cotton stuffed compressed airbags that "deploy" when needed? ...lots of foam paneling, like the kind found in a sound studio? ...high-tech active noise cancellation sound system with high-profile speakers?

David Klandagi • 10/07/2018 • edited

I showed this strip to an engineer friend of mine who asked me if Wolf ever learned the KISS principles?

I'm guessing no.

ndrvr • 10/07/2018

Version 4: big mobile nap box a.k.a. an RV ^^.

...no, wait, Wolf would've way too much fun with that...

Jessies place...? Andrea'll get "squeaky" times ^^. Tor'll rather get tinitus........

Staying with Shiera + Phil'll be safest...and boring as a yoga classroom ^^.

.......dump'em at Jessies XD.

Samantha • 10/07/2018

Haha great comic again! For the next version, what if Wolf added hypnosis to try and keep Jessie from breaking it? Jan could live with Wolf?

Sepia • 10/07/2018

Of course, Jessie will probably get really hot in all her leathers, so Wolf should add a cooling device. But maybe it makes it too cold, so then she needs to put more leather on.

George Lupus • 10/07/2018

Wolf could help Jessie with her problems by adding hypnotherapy, that way she’ll be nicer

WolvenEdge • 10/07/2018

As this is linked to a disability, the eviction notice could actually be fought in court. The landlord should, in turn, be aware of the potential consequences of using someone's impediments and disorders as grounds for eviction, noise complaints be darned.

Niall Shapero • 10/07/2018

They should stay at Wolf's place until they find another place to live. It was HIS gadget that was the final straw, after all. His responsibility, his job to "make good" on the results of (another of) his (monumental) screw ups.

And they could take revenge on him in other ways, as well...

Dreit • 10/07/2018

Maryalee: I don't like seeing friends acting like Red and Blue.

Wololo! Problem solved ;)

Darkcorgi • 10/07/2018

Hmm.. Do i feel Chaotic? Yes.. Yes I do... Jessie's place... nyehehehehehe... Hahahahahahaha! Squeak .....You didn't hear that....

Taxi Griffin 2018 • 10/07/2018

It would only be fitting that since this was Wolf's invention that he should be the one to house his testers. However, it was Tor's choice to make said invention and test it; so therefore making him the sole-suspect. In all...everyone's at fault in some way. More on Tor though because he should know what Wolf is or isn't capable of when making things.

Sammy • 10/07/2018

Again, I'm going to repeat my earlier suggestion (before the universe implodes due to a Wolf-ian explosion)... Next version of the sleeping box? Remove the solar panels, the GPS system, the batteries, the sun sensor, all wiring/electronics/nuclear power (You know Wolf put that in there), and wheels. On second thought, the most important item of all, DON'T LET WOLF NEAR THE BOX!!!

Sammy • 10/08/2018

There once was a tiger named Tor, Whose friend Wolf an idea he'd explore, "If you get into this square", "You'll sleep like a bear", But the ejection caused a loud uproar.

Nomad6 • 10/08/2018

oh yes please make it Jess place, I can just see the comic potential of that happening.

but poor Tor and Andrea, I wonder what happen with the complaints

Nap box version 4:

ok v1 self guidance=failure v2 floatation device= too much pressure v3 wolf escape system = overkill

time to go KISS

Have the box be on a rail system that follows the suns path through the house, with collision avoidance to avoid hitting anyone or running over any toes or "items" in Jess house. if said items have blocked the path of nap box v4, a robotic arm should remove the obstruction and failing that a loud alarm should be triggered waking the occupant of the box (and just in case there heavy sleepers their should be a "simple" ejection system in case of any explosion/fire/doom).

how could wolf over engineer that

Typhoon • 10/08/2018

For that particular cat the Box would have to include a V2.

Panther • 10/08/2018

@ Ndrvr :

Seeing how it evolves , V4 of this : i recommend directly a coffin with a golden panel "RIP" ^_^"

Kael Duranus • 10/08/2018

Clearly, V4 needs some sort of significant padding, all the way around. And a built in pillow, just for convienence.

Interstate2011 • 10/08/2018

That machine ought to be modified, somehow.

ndrvr • 10/08/2018

@Panther and anyone gets the willies when the occupant wakes up and rises out of the coffin ^^. Talk about "Tor-ula" or "Jan-ula", and "undead but happy + refreshed" XD.

For V4 i'd use Lone Starrs RV (Spaceballs). They just have to decide who's who (Tor as Lone Starr, Jan as Barf the Mog, Shiera as Dot Matrix, Jessie as Princess Vespa and-so-on...).

Dragon Furry • 10/08/2018

Think they fit nicely in with Jan and Amber if there is room.

For V4. I still say a mag lift system. Or some kinda quiet hovercraft system.

M.Organ • 10/08/2018

Ear-splitting squeek? Does it shatter glass as well?

Thwaitesy • 10/08/2018

I just hope Andrea''s not back to squeaking and Meeping instead of actually talking.

Katnik • 10/09/2018

How would the box deal with a sleepwalker ? A dose of Ambien and an automated napbox. Sounds like an experiment worthy of a Wolf.

Mickey • 10/10/2018

Version 4. The box suddenly closes shut on her, and starts bouncing up and down the street crashing into a tree, a mailbox, and finally the hospital!!

Silverwolf • 10/10/2018 • edited

-Tesla perimeter defense system

-Magnetic fusion reactor

-Subwoofers

-Spin rims

-Automated chicken launcher

-Cold Cathode lights

-Hydraulics

-Catnip dispersal system

-Safety word

-Von Neumann self-replication system

-Four-dimensional geometry

celtcath74 • 10/10/2018

Wolf is the one to blame for the incident, he should bear the responsibility to put them up.

Silverwolf • 10/11/2018

@celtcath74: On his nickel...and at their own risk!

Adam • 10/11/2018

How about this time, version 4 works! But it works too well, and jessie misses a whole week from hyper napping.

37212513 • 10/11/2018

Don't stay with Wolf, move him out.... (yes, of his own house, raving reviews EVERYONES asses...)

GuestMkXI • 10/11/2018

The subject is Jessie? Have it slightly vibrate, to encourage sleep of course!

michael • 10/12/2018

Not Jessie. It comes with inevitable mauling and strangling. Doesnt work.

michael • 10/12/2018

Yep Wolf. Definitely Wolf. He can sleep in the car then.

Donkey • 10/12/2018

I am a landlord and I could not care less if my tenets where making a great deal of noise because I don't live next to them. Now as for law enforcement having an issue with it that's not my concern. That is between the law enforcement department, the court system and the tenets. But as the landlord its not my issue to have to deal with.

SCKnight • 10/14/2018

Somehow Wolf creates a Napbox that contains catnip and lavender so that nappers can have pleasant dreams. Of course, somehow, Wolf gets catnip on him and his scent is on the Napbox so when he takes it to Jessie she become enamored to him!

SCKnight • 10/14/2018

Oh! And Andrea and Tor stay at Phil and Shiera's, before they drive those two crazy and they make them stay with Jan and Amber!

John Dunkelburg • 12/12/2018

Is that giant carp some kind of multi-dimensional entity that keeps tormenting him?
