The roombas have surprisingly capable motors! What could possibly go wrong?

Happy April First! ^_^ I'm leaving this gag up till the end of today because time zones and yesterday wasn't a comic update day.

Credits: Scetch Lee - Medieval Caramelldansen arrangement, Brighttail - censor bar joke, myself - animation, chiptune, programming.

Oh boy this should be fun

Eat my dust!!!

The Roombu 500 is about to start.

We may need a long term link... for the articles... for educational purposes...

Love the April first joke. The music is nice. Also... I'm sure Jessie won't mind another lady wearing her... gear.

Okay. You do realize that you're kind of obligated to at least draw a sketch of Andrea and Amber zooming around in full race gear. Heh heh.

Also, that is the best kind of April Fools Day gag! Beautifully animated! Reminds me of something Dean Dodrill would do, but in your style. Superb stuff! ♥

Great April Fool's joke! The music suits Silver very well. Would like to see her more. Where can I find it after/when you remove it?

XD As soon as I seen the pop up, I was like "Wait.....what.....oh, Aprils fools" then I clicked to see what it was. Nice dance animation! :)

And Id suspect Jessie's riding gear would be best. At least to look at. :P

Adam • 04/02/2023

Oh, and nothing like an overclocked Roomba to get the blood pumping. :P

Soon , two vixens racing on zoombas in ze house ^_^"

Thanks for the "april fool day" ........ How to download it ? ^_^

snowie • 04/02/2023

omg the silver Gif is great even without the sound .. so MEEP :D

Awkward dance dnld method: Peek at page HTML source code, find url for caramell.js (the dance code Jscript), then dnld.

Then separately find urls for the background .webp, music .m4a, and silver-caramell.webp (the actual dance). Some reassembly needed from there. But worked.

And ohhh, just perfect, perfect Silver; the happiest expression on her muzzle. Kudos Jan, wunnerful Apr 1 job.

As for putting some ale into her to provoke some more [non-censored] table dancing? And about those pierces...?

We can only but imagine. :- )

@Jan Can you keep a link somewhere that we have access to for the Silver animation? I really enjoyed it. And now want one for my character(s)...

And I like Andrea's biking gear.

CW Glenn • 04/02/2023

Darn it, missed the show, adding my two cents on being able to see it elsewhere.

Kirsten Wolfess • 04/02/2023

Roomba Racing is a thing with those gals... XD Or... Is it going to be a demolition derby?

Vulpis • 04/02/2023

I now this is a joke...but comic Jan is making the techie in me wince greatly in this comic. I know that RS-232 is a physical port standard. (Now the Roomba-clone having a vulnerability on the Telnet port over WiFi, I could maybe see)...but unless he's plugging in a cable while hacking, it kinda falls flat...

@HP100 @AlyxVixen I will reinstate the animation on this comic page after the next page is published.

@Vulpis I probably should've rewritten it as "serial over IP". I actually had to deal with this recently, working on network audio equipment, that treated Telnet like a serial link, which itself was over wi-fi. Guess what the datasheet called it? "RS-232 over IP" (despite no physical port being involved).

Late To The Party • 04/03/2023

I missed the April Fools gag! Where can I see it now?

Jan • 04/03/2023

I've added a link in the comic description above where you can load the April Fool's joke.

Kaelgren • 04/03/2023

Ottsome animation! Wonder how much for a commission, probably super spensive.

Vulpis • 04/03/2023

@Jan Ow...my condolences. I'm guessing it was Chinese-made gear?

Verp • 04/04/2023

I'm glad you have a link to the animation. There is something appealing about canid women, from the cute wagging tail all the way up to the soft, damp nose. It is odd being so cat like, yet being such a dog person.

Gedrin • 04/04/2023

You should click the dance animation and see what happens!

ndrvr • 04/04/2023

When's the deadline for placing bets for the race?

Adam • 04/05/2023

@Kaelgren I tried asking a few years ago, had $750 but he said he was not doing commissions. Sorry man, but I don't think Jan does that.

Jim the Otter • 04/14/2023

Nothing to say but awesome animation. Nailed all the fluffy fur effects. :3

Silverwolf • 04/26/2023

Amber might need to be specific when asking Jessie about "riding gear." She might have a set that isn't exactly used for motorcycling...
