Photoshop or no, it is so rude to eat all the Rolos.

Your avatar is the Blacktron II logo.

I am floored.

Best Roomba strip ever.

Noone pisses on the man who invented Photoshop. Ever.

Teodor is about to enter a world where the only activity is airbrushing Beef's red-eye.

Adobe was small-time before the invention of Photoshop.

My copy of The Late 20th Century History of Design concurs that this is how the PhotoShop went down.

Brothers Thomas Knoll and John Knoll began development on Photoshop in 1987. Version 1 was released by Adobe in 1990. Early versions of Photoshop were branded as Knoll Software releases before partnership with Adobe was established.

lateadopter » neu 3 years ago
You sure it wasn't the other way around?
centipede_damascus » pro 3 years ago
Clever.

And it only took four months.
soticoto » neu 2 years ago
And there was mutual exchange of chub.

It is a hella sweet icon... in his favour.
lechatbotte » neu 2 years ago
Dude, seriously! Respect for the icon! It's hypnotic....... .. .. . .

johnnybaverage » pro 1 years ago
Bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy...
never_die » pro 3 years ago
you have to be able to grow that mustache to work at Adobe. it is in your contract.
I also like how we can only see 3/4 of the Roomba in only one panel.
aliiis » pro 2 years ago
the way the tips of Beef's ears poke out above his hilarious hairpiece makes it sort of look like he has little horns

I... I don't know how I feel about that

So I guess this got slashdotted today. Thankfully it deserves it.

The Rolo Kebab:
1. Insert skewer through the centre of an entire pack
2. Remove wrapper
3. Serve.

Stolen from The Idler

Where I come from, the Rolos are individually wrapped in foil. This makes the Rolo kebab rather impractical.
peterjoel » neu 2 years ago
Where do you come from? In ENGLAND, the rolos are assembled into a column, and the foil is wrapped around all of them together. The Rolo Kebab is a both practical and easy.
steerpike66 » pro 2 years ago
and delicious.
spenham » neu 2 years ago
Yeah, as far as I know, here in America they are individually wrapped in foil. So inconvenient.
charchar » neu 2 years ago
You can still unwrap them once on the skewer. The foil tears quite easily.
heccibiggs » neu 2 years ago
What the FUCK. Individually wrapped Rolos? That can just fuck right off.

I like to be able to plough straight through my packs of Rolos.
charchar » pro 2 years ago
Further incontrovertible proof that America is just a cheap knock-off of England.
mattylite » neu 2 years ago
What? What about baseball? Cricket is like the toddler version of baseball. Cricket is like someone stared to invent baseball but then just got lazy a quarter of the way through. Plus, jeans. We invented jeans. Don't you wear jeans? But, ya, I guess I agree, I would like it if Rolos were all stacked in the same foil. God I would like that a lot. Also, chinese food.
relaxing » neu 2 years ago
Cricket, like rugby, is a sport I cannot grasp no matter how many times I watch it or how hard someone tries to explain it to me.
heccibiggs » neu 2 years ago
To be fair, cricket is totally lame. It's really boring and shitty.
kelsotimebomb » neu 2 years ago
But not as lame or shitty as individually-wrapped Rolos. So I think you guys win on this one.
farqussus » neu 1 years ago
I don't think i can sit here and listen to this.
sirfrederick » neu 2 years ago
2 months later: actually, that would be India.
lechatbotte » neu 2 years ago
Actually, Blue Denim pants go back to before Columbus. And Levi Strauss wasn't from America. "Blue Jeans" derives from French "Jeans Bleus", which roughly translates "blue Johns".

America may have popularized the FASHION of wearing blue jeans for other than the worst of manual labor, but they really can't claim them as their own invention.
zapatos » neu 1 years ago
They can claim whatever they want, they are 'MERICA
zapatos » neu 1 years ago
what About baseball, it sucks.
farqussus » neu 1 years ago
Your attempts to insult cricket are poorly constructed and would not meet code in a Rio shanty town.
rumblefish » pro 1 years ago
For reals. Trying to claim that cricket is less complicated than...anything really, is just a frantically waving flag of ignorance.
budenhagen » neu 1 years ago
Rolos are gross. They stay with you. They're like chocolate gum.
cousinted » pro 2 years ago
I shall, from now on, celebrate "Fuck you I just invented Photoshop Friday".
relaxing » neu 2 years ago
Folks just don't remember the old Adobe logo.
[IMGS OFF]
canusdivinus » neu 2 years ago
That logo sucks. That definitely needed to get 'shopped.
jlowe424 » pro 2 years ago
Luckily they listed that feature on the original photoshop box:
"You can also use the airbrush to draw such as a hat"
tekende » pro 2 years ago
"or just a furious-lookin' ding dong."
tbtabby » neu 2 years ago
Now they have a special filter for that.
jackbandit » pro 2 years ago
This strip ranks as one of my favorites. I think it might have to do with the 'staches, as well as Roastbeef's hilarious dialogue ("You can also use the airbrush to draw such as a hat").

Ray: Damn, Teodor!
Mr. Bear: Back in the stuff.
Little Nephew: webMastah'
gussiejives » neu 2 years ago
I hope Teodor's about to order Sani-Tacos.
brokeaccount » neu 2 years ago
Probably not. Eating your own hair is mainly a thing of the mentally ill.
zapatos » neu 1 years ago
It doesn't even prevent the on-set of headless horsemanship.
matthew » neu 2 years ago
You don't piss on the dogg that just invented Photoshop.
soupkaty » neu 2 years ago
wow those are some "sabotage"-lookin fakehairbits
mistercake » pro 1 years ago
Inventing Photoshop is huge indeed.
lolsworth » neu 1 years ago
A new dawn in millinery draughtsmanship
johnnybaverage » pro 1 years ago
I like how "Do you want any" isn't actually a question. It's a foregone conclusion that someone would want tacos.
greenkoolayd » neu 1 years ago
makes sense. i almost always dont not want tacos.
epicurus » neu 1 years ago
(define (doe-greenkoolayd-want-tacos? t)
(cond
[(>= t 0) true]
[else true]
))

Straight up SCHEME program representing greenkoolayd always wanting tacos? What kind of wacky style am I attempting to rock?

You can only dream of knowing!
greenkoolayd » neu 1 years ago
what alien language is that?
meringue » pro 2 months ago
"Screw you for eating all the Rolos" is something I'd like to be able say once in my life.
