Robot Chicken? Wasn’t that done already?

You need a co-conspiritor to follow you with a ladder.

The last problem was when someone stole the key. Nelson had a devil of a time getting Henrietta home.

Stay away from the road.

@Mist

But you must admit the design is well balanced.

Okay, so the Comfy Tune Out Mobile version needs a little work.

Or maybe we shouldn’t be getting our parts from Chinese suppliers.

“XTech Industries just don’t build ’em like they used to.”

So Mist (aka Essex) you might refer back to

For the XTI warnings on the earlier versions

Thanks Susan for your research on this issue.

No problem, X …

Kinda fun going through all those dusty old archives in the XTI library……

especially when the dust is mostly color-changing glitter…..

Ach-CHOO

Good thing Nelson is a beta tester.

I’m sure by the time it’s in full production, you’ll have worked out the bugs.

It’s a long process, isn’t it….

That’s why they don’t cost chicken feed.

But of course, over time, you make up for some of the cost with the free eggs.

Getting it to lay eggs is one those little technical problems we’ve encountered.

But we’ve got the chicken (mostly) so the egg should follow.

Wait….X … are you saying you’ve solved the ancient riddle??

The chicken definitely comes first??!

Well the whole concept of the Mobile Comfy Tune Out Chicken did come from one of our eggheads in R&D.

That’s how it always winds up.

Looks like that one is ready for the stew pot.

Reminds me of the joke about a one legged rooster.

.

Seems like there was this…..What ?… Well yeah, it is a bit raunchy…but…but,,,,O.K. I know how delicate the sensibilities of the GoComics censors are….alright, alright… I won’t tell the joke !

.

( it was really funny ) Guess you’ll just have to use your imaginations or meet me later at the Tiki and I’ll tell you the rooster tail.

TIMBER!!!

Should’a got the bunny model.

It’s screws are tighter.

I guess the “other side” is out of the question!

Well well we meet again…………..

Well Played sir… well played…!!!and as awlways Ah gotyer back…!!!(and YES… yer rekwest isat teh top o the setlist!!)

Uh huh………..

Does this picture represent that moment in cartoon time when the character (e.g. Wile E Coyote) has gone off the cliff, but gravity is briefly delayed? Or does he have a powerful gyroscope in there?

He doesn’t have a leg to stand on. Or an egg.

If its from XTech, that would make it a technical fowl?
