I love the sound effects especially. ZERT is very matter-of-fact, not bothering with any superfluous exclamation marks or other frippery. Simple, elegant, and to the point. A masterpiece.
Apparently the Robots’ “ZERT!” energy is considerably more powerful and dangerous than the Cookies’ “ZERT”.
Also, I recall several comics ago when EFRAL first formed wishing for them to shoot a giant laser beam from their collective eyes. I still wish it had read “Hadoken!” – however, this is still intrinsically sweet.
yay, Lemo gets them to work
So they will respond to commands?
Just need to work out the sytax,
blast ?
Attack head?
Run away?
Or more likly something completly unpredictable.
At first glance it seemed as if the cookie palace had blasted them, but then I realized that he had said ” this has been a -Blast- “, which made notice they they had blasted the cookie palace.

That font is awesome. What is that font?
Cocky assertions and overwhelming evidence against the contrary aside, the cookiebot might still be alive…

For those not initiated, the ‘zert’ has been a running gag in my comics for now over a decade.

They really have to be wary of the words they wield around these artificial wannabe copies.
March 22nd, 2010 at 10:35 am
I honestly wasn’t expecting that. Which makes it all the more awesome.
Gotta wonder though….why didn’t the robots just do that at the start?
March 22nd, 2010 at 11:37 am
Dr Octagonapus! Bwah!
The key word In this comic is blast.
Thank you for using the obvious statement generator.
Have a nice day (or not)

Amazing. Just amazing.
The sound effect makes the robot’s attack seem so nonchalant, but the destruction is devastating. Woah, man. Woah.
@boring7 and Physicsmaster: DBZ reference?

This is more awesome than I expected. But the fact that I expected any less than awesome is stupid.
