Bacteria city arc

video File:PlaceholderThis is a story arc about some bacteria in the lab forming a city.

## Plot

It begins with Bob telling Thaddeus Euphemism that the latter left one of his petri dishes out. Thaddeus says that he is culturing a very advanced bacteria and Bob tells him that the bacteria looks advanced. Thaddeus sees a tiny city created by the bacteria and says, "Uh-oh".

In the next strip, however, he seems more enthusiastic about the sentient bacteria and sees it as a scientific opportunity. However, some of the bacteria take a trip to a second petri dish and, according to Bob, enslave the other bacteria, so Thaddeus tells everyone to evacuate the lab.

By the next strip, Thaddeus has sealed off the lab from the outside and wants the bacteria to develop, no matter where it lands. However, when some bacteria land on his head, he asks for antiseptic.

In the next strip, Thaddeus wants to terminate the experiment but doesn't know how to do so ethically. The bacteria then cause explosions in their respective neighboring petri dishes and Thaddeus gets philosophical.

## Trivia

* It is unknown if any bacteria survived the explosions or what the cities were made of.
The squirrels' debut

This is a story arc that features the first appearance of the Squirrels and their origin story.

## Plot

It begins with Thaddeus Euphemism sitting on a park bench enthusing about the park and feeding intelligence-enhancement pills to the squirrels.

Bob arrives in the next strip and Thaddeus explains that he's feeding the pills to the squirrels because the lab rats are occupied. He thinks the experiment is "a bust", but then one of the squirrels writes "MOR PLEZ" on a piece of paper.

In the next strip, a group of squirrels, who can now speak, approach Thaddeus and worship him as the "provider of wisdom and harmony", which he thinks, "Uh-oh" about.

The next strip shows Bob finding it amusing that the squirrels worship Thaddeus, but Thaddeus deactivates him.
Covid-19 arc

This is a story arc about Thaddeus Euphemism freaking out about covid-19.

## Recap

In the first strip of the arc, Thaddeus and Bob are grocery shopping and Thaddeus observes that everybody is going crazy due to social distancing, stock market panic, and commodity hoarding. He then jokingly hopes that the world can survive the "pandemic" of stupidity.

In the next strip, Lars Langzaam is adjusting a machine, which sprays him in the face, making him cough. Thaddeus chases him with a can of disinfectant and shouts, "Covid-19! Covid-19!". Lars tries to explain that it's just a chemical reaction, but Thaddeus ties him up and quarantines him, along with another guy who was sneezing because of pepper.

In the third strip, Bob tells Lars that Thaddeus has gone next-level in his disease paranoia. Lars asks if Thaddeus went back into his chamber, but Bob says that it's worse: he's moved in with the Squirrels. One squirrel then asks if he wants to play cards, then says, "Who farted?" to another squirrel.

By the next strip, however, Thaddeus has come back to work because it's cramped, the squirrels have fleas, and they go to the toilet outside.

In the final strip, Thaddeus invents a pair of goggles that allow him to see germs, but he freaks out about the bacteria in the room (even though covid-19 is a virus and most bacteria aren't pathogenic) and goes to take a shower.
Betty's visit arc

This is a story arc about Betty coming to visit.

## Plot

It begins with Betty entering and greeting Thaddeus Euphemism and Bob, who then look nervous when she mentions sitting by the phone waiting for a call.

In the next strip, Thaddeus tells Betty that his home phone number is changed, so she writes it down. He asks why she doesn't put the numbers in her phone and she replies that her phone will be obsolete in two days.

In the next strip, Thaddeus still wonders why Betty doesn't update her phone. She replies that she doesn't know how and suspects that he won't know how to use future technology when he's old either. A look into the future shows an elderly Thaddeus not knowing how to upgrade his cranial implants.

In the following strip, Thaddeus tries to teach Betty to use her phone and gets frustrated. She reminds him that she taught him to use a spoon, scaring him.

In the last strip, Thaddeus has gotten very impatient with Betty, who apparently sent him to his room despite them not living together.
GPS arc

This is a story arc about Bob romancing a GPS.

## Plot

The story arc begins with Thaddeus Euphemism showing Bob his new GPS. Bob calls the GPS "Gypsie" and claims that they know each other. They then begin flirting with each other, grossing Thaddeus out.

In the next strip, Thaddeus asks Gypsie which way they should go. It tells them to take Exit 41 to Highway 416, but Bob claims that he checked Google Maps and it said to take Highway 7. This offends Gypsie but Bob defends himself by saying that it was just for reference and he was thinking of Gypsie the whole time, but Gypsie is still offended.

In the next strip, Bob and Gypsie continue to argue. Thaddeus asks for directions, but Gypsie swears at him and they get out of the car.

In the following strip, Thaddeus and Bob are back in their car, but Gypsie has directed them onto the edge of a cliff.

The next strip has Thaddeus returning Gypsie. When the shopkeeper asks what the problem is and Thaddeus recaps the events, the shopkeeper thinks Thaddeus is crazy.

In the final strip, Thaddeus and Bob wonder how they will get to the conference. Thaddeus asks Siri and Bob begins to flirt with Siri, but Thaddeus yells at him to stop.

## Trivia

* Bob flirts with Siri despite having a rivalry with another Siri in the Siri arc.
* When Gypsie swears at Thaddeus, he says, "She told us where to go all right." This is a pun on the phrase "telling someone where to go" which is an idiom for telling someone in a rude way that you're not interested in them.
Unnamed Kaiser

Peeve arc

This is a story arc about Thaddeus Euphemism creating animals known as "peeves" to keep as pets, a pun on the phrase "pet peeve".

## Plot

It begins with Bob complaining that his lunch has been stolen. Thaddeus asks if that's his "pet peeve" but Bob doesn't know what a pet peeve is. Thaddeus explains that a pet peeve is something that annoys you in particular, so you own it like a pet. However, Bob points out that everybody hates having their lunch stolen, so that would be a *wild* peeve.

In the next strip, Thaddeus shows Bob a creature he's created called a "peeve", the idea being that they can be kept as pets. However, it swallows Thaddeus's coffee cup.

In the following strip, another scientist named Jenkins is admiring the pet, but then it eats him.

The next strip has Thaddeus about to show two children from an orphanage the peeve, only to find that there are now four of them and they've eaten all the equipment.

In the next strip, the children run away while Bob calls 911. The 911 operators have created a special line for people who've bio-engineered lifeforms that are terrorising buildings solely because of Thaddeus and Bob's shenanigans.

The fire department arrive in the next strip and Thaddeus explains that the peeves eat everything and reproduce asexually, but the firefighters think he's saying, "Aayyyyyy, sexually."

In the next strip, the peeves nearly eat one of the firefighters, but spit him out because his boots are sweaty and therefore taste bad.

The strip after that has one of the firefighters suggesting Thaddeus train the peeves since they're supposed to be pets, so he tries with a spray bottle.

In the next strip, Thaddeus has gotten some new lab equipment and the peeves have been sold to the dump, where they eat the rubbish.
Super Bowl party arc

video File:PlaceholderThis is a very short story arc about Thaddeus Euphemism having a Super Bowl party despite not knowing about football.

## Summary

In the first strip, a heavy guy named Trent asks Thaddeus what he and the other nerds will be doing while Trent and the other non-nerds are watching the superbowl (the idea being that nerds don't like sports). Thaddeus tells Trent that he is an avid football fan and invites him to his superbowl party. Trent accepts the invitation, but it turns out that, even though Thaddeus really is throwing the party, he barely even knows what football is.

In the second and final strip, Bob asks Thaddeus how the party is going and Thaddeus replies that he just cheers whenever the others cheer. However, the people onscreen are using jargon that Thaddeus doesn't understand and he wonders if it's even another language.

## Plot

In the first strip, Thaddeus talks about how he has invented a new mosquito repellent that makes you smell like a mosquito. When he tries it on, some amphibians lick his face.

Squirrels

video File:Placeholder
The **squirrels**are a group of squirrels who live in the park. They can talk and are about as smart as humans (although you'll occasionally get one who's smarter or less smart than the average human) due to some pills that Thaddeus Euphemism fed them.
They have their own currency (acorns) and are often seen scheming, usually to make money. For example, one of them did the "Nigerian prince" scam and in one story arc, a bunch of them took over Clones 'R' Us.
Despite being sapient and able to talk, they still live outdoors and have a squirrel's physiology and interests, and they're hardly ever seen wearing clothes, although a few have worn clothes on occasion.

## Trivia

* Several have been named, including Carl and the late Doug.
* Their lawyer is a bear who's also taken the pills.
Gordon transmogrification arc

The **Gordon transmogrification arc** is a story arc that focuses on Gordon Noble drinking something that turns him purple and muscular when annoyed.

## Recap

It begins with Gordon eyeing a bottle with a lightning bolt on it, while, in the background, Bob points out to Thaddeus Euphemism that many superheroes are created by lab accidents. Gordon drinks from the bottle, while Thaddeus points out that due to how accident prone he and his coworkers are, it's a wonder they're not all superheroes. Gordon gets a headache and glows purple, then his shirt rips off and he becomes very tall, buff, and purple, while Thaddeus notes that it would be cool if everyone at Clones 'R' Us was a superhero.

In the next strip, Gordon asks Thaddeus what he just drank, explaining that he thought it was Gatorade. Thaddeus nervously denies that it was a gene-altering material, and Gordon is unamused.

Then, Thaddeus admits that it is a gene-altering material and starts to speculate on what made Gordon transform and if it is an emotional response. Gordon then transforms again because Thaddeus isn't listening to him, revealing that it's activated by annoyance.

In the following strip, Thaddeus does an experiment to see how annoyed Gordon has to be to change. It turns out that all it takes is a minor annoyance, like a pin prick. Thaddeus pricks Gordon with a pin and Gordon changes and throws him against the wall, breaking it.

In the next strip, Thaddeus resolves to find an antidote and is confident in his scientific abilities. Gordon then has "mixed feelings", so his right side transforms while his left side stays the same.

The arc concludes with Thaddeus going off to synthesise an antidote. Gordon drinks out of a can, which unfortunately turns his head green and makes tentacles come out of it. The same thing happens to Thaddeus when he drinks out of another can.

## Trivia

* The arc ended unresolved, though both Thaddeus and Gordon returned to normal.
Self-defence suit arc

This is a story arc focusing on Thaddeus Euphemism inventing a self-defence suit.

## Plot

It begins with Thaddeus announcing a self-defence suit that he made out of a mixture of Kevlar and the DNA of a defensive animal to protect law enforcement officers. He walks in wearing it and Bob quips that it'd be hard to get any self-respecting law enforcement officer to wear it. Thaddeus agrees, but notes that there will be a "really cool badge" on the chest.

In the next strip, Thaddeus asks Bob to test the suit by attacking him from behind. Bob does and gets squirted with black fluid. Thaddeus reveals that the liquid was ink and that the animal he got the DNA from was an octopus.

In the third strip, Thaddeus is using the suit's camouflage feature to sneak around when Bob accidentally sets it on fire.

In the fourth and final strip, Thaddeus tries to take the suit off but it sprouts tentacles and attacks him and Bob takes a photo of it.

## Trivia

* It's never revealed how Thaddeus ultimately got out of the suit, but it's likely that Bob helped him after taking the photo.
Translator fish arc

This is a short story arc about Thaddeus Euphemism creating a fish who can speak human languages.

## Plot

In the first strip, Thaddeus tells Bob about how he's converted the Google Translate database into the genetic code of a fish, which enables it to speak human languages. He then intends it to be stuck in humans' ears and it will translate for them, but Bob doesn't like the idea.

The next strip concludes the arc with Thaddeus trying, but finding the sensation unpleasant and demanding Bob get it out, which he does by whacking him. Thaddeus mentions that he would have preferred a less violent method but Bob just says condescendingly, "You're welcome".

## Trivia

He likes her new upgrades but begins to get a little sleazy in his like for them, annoying her.

In the next strip, Irene is mad at Bob for his sleaziness but at the same time pleased that she's getting *some* appreciation for her upgrades. Bob asks Thaddeus Euphemism to help him figure out how Irene's mind (and that of females in general) works, but Thaddeus thinks he has no chance of success.

The next strip has Irene apologise to Bob and ask him to whistle if he wants to see her. He tries, but does not know how so she tries to hear him. Upon hearing that it requires lips, he demands Thaddeus make him some.

In the next strip, Bob complains to Thaddeus about how easily-offended Irene is. He tells him to find an opportunity to compliment her, so when she changes her "thong" to a "skirt", Bob tries to compliment her by saying that she looks almost like a lady. However, Irene takes offence to the "almost" and punches him in the face.

In the following strip, Bob tries to get Irene's attention by having a woman named Alice pretend to flirt with him on Facebook, however, Irene uses *Petri Dish* computer technology to be violent through the monitor.

In the next strip, Bob gives Irene his "heart", but she just hits him.

However, in the last strip, they take a walk in the park and actually act romantic towards each other.

Military arc

video File:Placeholder
This is a story arc about the military visiting Clones 'R' Us.

## Plot

In the next strip, Sanders asks Bob what Thaddeus's military projects are. When Bob asks why he does not ask Thaddeus directly, Sanders initially claims that he needs to be indirect for professional reasons, but then admits that Thaddeus wouldn't tell him because he's "hiding behind some litigious bear".

In the next strip, Sanders tries to get information out of Bob by "weaponising" his outer shell, so Bob makes a list of weapons he wants.

In the following strip, Thaddeus has found out that Sanders knows about his military projects and confronts Bob. Bob tries to blame iBall, but by then, he's already been weaponized and looks different.

The next strip sees Thaddeus telling Bob off and Bob laser-targeting Thaddeus's face because it "looks cool" to Bob.

The strip after that has Thaddeus lamenting what Sanders did to Bob, who reveals that his "heart" has turned into a self-destruct button.

In the next strip, iBall sees Bob's new weapons and asks him to open a can of soup. They then do "target practice" with Bob's weapons and use soup cans as targets but Bob accidentally shoots six holes in the wall and one hole in Thaddeus's mug.

The story concludes itself in the next strip with Thaddeus removing the weapons from Bob and getting rid of his red eye by hitting him.

In the next strip, Bob and iBall accompany Thaddeus at the optometrist but he tells them to wait in the waiting room. The optician gives Thaddeus some thick glasses which he calls "Farnsworths".

In the next strip, Thaddeus gets glasses that are a bit less thick but he still thinks they're too strong as "all I can see is a giant eyeball", but it turns out to be iBall who came in because the people in the waiting room were giving him and Bob "weird looks".

* The grappling hook allows you to change the direction of your swing without having to come to a full stop first.
* Forest Water's effect lasts for 30 minutes instead of 20.
* Fishmen tips are now stored on the map screen, you no longer have to find and feed them again to get their information if you forget it.
* Text displays much faster.

### Graphics

Bob's heart arc

The arc about Bob's heart is the second story arc in *The Petri Dish.*

## Plot

It begins with Bob watching *The Wizard of Oz* and then singing "If I Only Had a Heart" to Thaddeus Euphemism, who snaps at him to stop watching it and maintains that he is not giving Bob a heart.

In the next strip, Bob begs Thaddeus to give him a heart and Thaddeus reluctantly agrees but says that he'll give him "the same type of heart that the Wizard of Oz gave the Tin Man". He then asks if Bob knows what sort of heart that is and Bob responds in the negative. Thaddeus asks how Bob could not know what sort of heart the Wizard of Oz gave the Tin Man because Bob has seen the movie twenty times and Bob replies that he is too scared of the flying monkeys to watch past that point.

The story arc then concludes in the third strip with Thaddeus taking a fridge magnet shaped like a heart and putting it on Bob's chest while quoting from *The Wizard of Oz.* Bob is touched, which nauseates Thaddeus.

## Trivia

* This strip references *The Wizard of Oz.*
* Bob would continue to wear his "heart" for a long time, before eventually giving it away to Irene.
IBall

video File:Placeholder
**iBall**is a cyborg created by Thaddeus Euphemism as a friend for Bob. He is made out of a whale's eye and some robot parts that came from an iMac.

## Appearance

iBall has one enormous eye (apparently taken from a whale) with a green iris and no eyelid.

He has a rounded, turquoise body upon which sits his mouth and a turquoise part coming up behind his eye.

His arms and legs stick out from his body and are grey, jointed, and metallic. His arms are much skinnier and shorter than his legs and his hands share a similar design to Bob's.

## Personality

iBall seems to share Bob's wry sense of humour. For example, he claims to wish he had an eyelid so that he can frown at him.

Despite sometimes arguing and/or exchanging banter with Bob, the two are very good friends and can often be seen socializing. The two tend to do goofy things when together, like throw snowballs. Sometimes, Thaddeus joins in on their wacky antics, such as when all three of them dressed up as pirates for Talk Like a Pirate Day.

iBall seems to be capable of romance, as he's seen flirting with the women at Clones 'R' Us.

## Trivia

* He has a self-destruct button which was once accidentally activated, but he survived.
* His name is a pun on the lowercase "i" used in some products such as iPods, and the word "eyeball".
Vomiting computer arc

This is an arc that involves Thaddeus Euphemism creating a "virus" that makes computers vomit.

## Plot

The plot begins with Bob talking in ads to Thaddeus and iBall. Thaddeus identifies the problem and takes a can of spam out of Bob's interior.

In the next strip, Thaddeus expresses that he does not want Bob to get "hacked" again and introduces him to Larry the technical support guy, who Bob mistakes for Santa due to his red hat and white beard. Larry says that while he isn't Santa, he can tell who's been naughty or nice via the Internet.

In the next strip, Larry installs a wireless adapter but also finds a substance (presumably weed) inside Bob. Bob and iBall claim that it's for iBall because the latter has glaucoma, but Bob seems awkward.

In the next strip, Thaddeus reveals that Larry found out who put the spam into Bob and says that he gave the person a so-called "present". It turns out to be a computer virus that acts like a normal virus (i.e. produces sneezing and coughing sounds and makes the computer throw up). The computer then throws up on Bob's hacker.

In the next strip, Thaddeus and Bob are watching the news and it turns out that the virus has spread to other devices.

The following strip has Thaddeus freaking out about accidentally causing a problem, but Larry reveals that he created an antidote and disguised it as a video of a monkey sniffing its butt.

In the next strip, Thaddeus thanks Larry for making the antidote but Bob sees a suspicious-looking pizza van and worries they're being watched.

In the next strip, two Jehovah's witnesses come to talk to Thaddeus. He mistakes them for federal agents and when the mistake is cleared up, two actual federal agents arrive and they argue over who gets to talk to Thaddeus.

The federal agents must have won the argument, because in the next strip, they're interrogating Thaddeus. They note that they can't arrest him because it wasn't a normal computer virus so much as a virus distributed electronically. They also note that they can't charge him with destruction of property since he didn't destroy any of the computers. However, they give him an invoice for two billion dollars for fifty million drycleaning bills.

Thaddeus gets out of having to pay, however, because in the next strip, some squirrels come in disguised as a man and demand that the agents release Thaddeus in exchange to be taken to their acorn hoard, despite the agents' insistence that they lack one.

## Trivia

* iBall never loses his vision and Bob never seems high, so it's unknown what the weed was actually for. The most likely explanation is that Bob tried weed out once out of curiosity but didn't make a habit of smoking it, or even that he tried but found it was impossible for him to smoke being a cyborg.
* Thaddeus's virus infected fifty million computers, according to the federal agents.
Irene

**Irene**, short for **Intelligence Relays Enhanced (with) Neural Encoding**, is a cyborg designed to be Bob's love interest by Thaddeus Euphemism.

## Biographical information

### Marital status

In an on-again-off-again dating relationship with Bob

### Place of birth

Clones 'R' Us lab (where she became a cyborg)

## Appearance

Initially, Irene looked almost exactly like Bob, but with red lips and blonde "hair" that appeared to be in pigtails.

Then, she travelled across Canada for two years, altering her appearance. Now, she is slightly taller than Bob and has a more human-like physique. Her "hair" is now silver and comes out in lines behind her, her body appears to have the same design as Bob's limbs, as do her arms, but her legs are more like IBall's except with no "knees".

Like Bob, she has a brain in a transparent dome on top of her head, but it's unknown what, if any, other organs she has.

Unlike Bob, she owns "clothes" that she got when she updated herself that are made of molded plastic and are a pale pink colour: a crop top, a thong, and bands around her "elbows".

## Personality

Irene is quite fiery and unpredictable. She and Bob have an unpredictable relationship: she insulted him, then they began dating, but broke up. Later, they met again and exchanged insults (Irene even sometimes used actual violence on Bob) but then they began dating again.

She is also very easily offended. For instance, when she tried wearing a skirt instead of her usual thong and Bob told her that she looked "almost like a lady", she actually hit him due to taking offence at the "almost".

Despite all the insults and violence she shows towards Bob, she really does care about him and does take the time to apologise for her actions. She may also return Bob's romantic feelings for him because she acted jealous when he pretended to flirt with his coworker Alice and they exchanged compliments in one strip.

Thaddeus and Bob attribute her moodiness to her being a woman, despite the fact that other women (e.g. Betty and Naomi) that they know do not have similar personalities. It is possible that they were speaking in jest.

Irene seems to be especially peeved by romantic cliches. For instance, when first activated, she told Bob not to make a joke about them being "made for each other", and when she was reunited with him, she told him not to ogle her body (despite being pleased that he noticed the modifications, even if it wasn't in the way she wanted). Despite this, she seems to be capable of romance, at least to some extent.

According to the creator, she wears a thong because she's "uninhibited", which is apparently a common trait among robots and cyborgs.

Lars Langzaam

**Dr. Lars Langzaam** is one of Thaddeus Euphemism's coworkers and a minor character on *The Petri Dish.*

## Appearance

Dr. Langzaam is shorter than Thaddeus, heavyset, and Caucasian, with fuzzy brown hair and glasses. He usually wears a white lab coat, baggy pants (he has a beige pair and a grey pair), grey shoes, and a brown shirt.

## Personality

Not much is known about Lars's personality, except he studies snails for a living and does so in an unorthodox way (by speaking slowly and observing a plastic one.) According to his character profile, he also enjoys watching movies (in fact some say he chose his job as an excuse to watch movies at work) and cross-country skiing.

## Trivia

* He has a speech impediment where he pronounces the "th" in words like "the" and "they" as a "Z".
* He is Norwegian, and is on loan from the Oslo Institute of Science and Technology.
Sanders

**Col. Sanders** (first name unknown) is a military official who features in the Military arc and later in one of the "evolution" strips. Not to be confused with the KFC guy.

## Appearance

Sanders is a Caucasian man with sunglasses, brown hair in a crew cut, and wearing a light grey shirt, a black tie, a brown belt, dark green slacks, and black boots.

## Personality

Sanders appears to be quite warlike: he claimed to hate peacetime, wanted to blow something up, and weaponized Bob.
Black History Month

**Black History Month**is a running gag in The Petri Dish, usually involving Thaddeus Euphemism trying to celebrate it but accidentally coming off as racially insensitive to the ire of Gordon Noble.

In the Thaddeus pretends to be black arc, Thaddeus changed his skin and hair to appear black, gave Bob an afro and painted him brown, and both of them spoke like stereotypical black people, which frustrated Gordon.

In the Stereotype arc, Thaddeus displayed Jamaican stereotypes, so Gordon tried to "train" him by zapping him with a taser every time he was racially insensitive.
Evil mouse arc

This is a very short story arc about a mouse named Charlie escaping and plotting world domination.

## Plot

This story begins with a lab mouse escaping from his cage and monologuing about how he wants to free the other lab mice and take over the world. However, Bob doesn't understand him and Thaddeus Euphemism doesn't even notice him.
The next strip concludes the arc with Bob having lured the mouse, whose name is revealed to be Charlie, into his cage with a piece of cake, that's given him gas.

Conference arc

video File:Placeholder
This is a story arc about Thaddeus Euphemism getting a conference in New York.

## Plot

The story arc opens with Bob observing that people only use coffee packets once and then throw them away. Then, he and iBall prank the Interns by putting kitty litter in the used coffee packets, pretending it's a special type of coffee, and selling it to them.

In the next strip, Thaddeus tells Bob and iBall that he was invited to the Genetic Engineering Conference in New York where he will give a speech about how Bob and iBall were created. However, Bob is obscuring iBall's vision and Bob shushes him, so they begin to argue and Thaddeus threatens to dismantle them.

In the next strip, however, neither Bob nor iBall has been dismantled. In fact, Thaddeus has reluctantly agreed to take them to New York with him. He's put iBall into his suitcase to save airfare, but iBall finds it too cramped and Thaddeus's woollen clothes itch, so Bob says that it would be inhumane. Thaddeus agrees and decides to carry iBall in an animal cage instead.

The next strip shows them on the plane: Bob is in a first class seat drinking at least two glasses of champagne, Thaddeus is between two large men who tell him to stop squirming, wondering how Bob got the first class seat, and iBall is in his cage, having unlocked a dog's and trying to communicate with him to get him to open his cage.

In the next strip, they've arrived and Bob is checking in at a hotel. The manager says, "Waa!" and Bob thinks he's scared him, but it turns out that he was just calling a bellhop named Waa and in actual fact, two other brain-bots had checked in that week.

In the following strip, Bob and iBall jump on their beds in the hotel room. Thaddeus enters and the cyborgs think they're in trouble, but then he joins them.

In the strip after that, they ride on the subway, where someone spray-paints on Bob.

The following strip takes place that night, when Bob and iBall watch Thaddeus sleep due to being cyborgs and not needing sleep. Thaddeus tries to switch rooms but all the rooms are taken, so he asks for rope and duct tape instead.

In the next strip, Thaddeus is giving his presentation and Bob is admiring him but also observing that he has a booger on his nose.

The final strip of this arc shows Thaddeus being given a bill that includes $350 in movie charges. It turns out that after Bob and iBall were disallowed from watching Thaddeus sleep, they went to see 'Steel Magnolias' due to boredom and thinking it was a gardening show for robots.

## Trivia

* It is possible that one of the two other brain-bots who stayed at the hotel was Irene, however, it is unknown who the other one was.
Squirrels' law arc

This is a story arc about the Squirrels having legal trouble when they want the formula for the intelligence enhancement pellets.

## Plot

It begins with some squirrels demanding that Thaddeus Euphemism give them the formula for the intelligence enhancement tablets. Thaddeus thinks that would be unethical as it might cause them to subjugate the dumber squirrels but they just say, "What if we're already doing that?".

In the next strip, the squirrels reveal their lawyer: a talking bear. When Thaddeus asks the bear if he has a law degree, he simply shows him his claws.

In the next strip, Thaddeus asks the bear if the squirrels gave him intelligence pellets. The bear replies that they have and hands Thaddeus the legal documents. Thaddeus asks what legal fees the squirrels pay a bear and the bear replies that they just let him eat some of the dumber ones.

In the next strip, two squirrels are talking about how feeding the bear the dumb squirrels is a bad idea because surely smarter individuals should *protect* dumber individuals, but then the bear eats a dumb squirrel named Doug.

The following strip sees Thaddeus's lawyer deciding that in order to fight the squirrel lawsuit, they need to attack the bear's character by showing him embarrassing photos but Thaddeus suggests that they fight the case on legal principles. The lawyer agrees and writes it down and Thaddeus thinks that maybe the lawyer needs intelligence enhancement pellets.

They then take the case to court and the judge makes several guesses on what sort of bizarre thing could have happened as a result of Thaddeus's experiments. When the lawyer, Mr. Jacobs, tells the judge what happened, the judge thinks, "I wonder if it's too late to call in sick."

In the next strip, the bear is asked to make his opening arguments but he just roars and attacks Mr. Jacobs. However, the judge allows this.

In the next strip, the squirrels worry that the trial will take too long and the bear will eat them all, so they dress up as ninjas and form the Fast Asset Recovery Team (or F.A.R.T.).

The story arc then pauses for one strip but comes back for the next, which shows the squirrels in ninja suits throwing acorns at Bob at night.

In the next strip, the squirrels, noticing that Bob is not hurt by the acorns, deploy smoke bombs, but these don't affect Bob and simply make *them* cough.

In the next strip, Mr. Jacobs agrees to let the squirrels have the intelligence pellets and Thaddeus gets the bear to renegotiate his divorce settlement.

In the final strip of this arc, the squirrels and bear celebrate their new independence but then get bored.

## Trivia

* This storyline reveals that Thaddeus has been married before but broke up, and that his ex-wife had an aggressive lawyer.
* This storyline reveals that one of the squirrels is named Carl, which, coincidentally, is also the name of the night watchman at Clones 'R' Us.
