Lil Formers #184: Smart Guys

I’ll bet Cobra Commander would like to get in a on this discussion…

Actually, for realz, I drew this whole strip jsut so for an excuse to put Doctor Snuggles in the background. You’re welcome British people.

    But who’s the guy behind the speech bubble to the left? Could that be Reed Richards? Nice to see Wheeljack in the background by the way.

  2. Somebody

    My eyes kept going to Wheeljack ONLY. Maybe I am only interested in Transformers. wtf

  3. HugeBadWolf

    Great strip!
    Good to see Dr Snuggles too.
    Pointless fact - Douglas Adams wrpte some of the episodes :)

    Who’s the chap on the right (in front of Wheeljack)?

    Cheers,
    Doug

  4. Optimal Olaf

    And who is the guy on the left behind the textballoon ;)

    The Chap, a collegue of mine says it is the chessplayer from a Pixar short

  5. Denton

    Tur-telitte! Awesome.

  6. Batmanners

    There is one vital person missing from a meeting concerning global warming….Captain Planet!!!

  7. Batmanners

    @ doug, my guess is that it’s Newton gimmick from Teddy Ruxpin.

  8. Elnauron

    Awesome! Your strips are the highlight of my day. I love Newton Gimmick there in the back! You don’t see too many Teddy Ruxpin references these days. I guess it’s one of those lesser known 80’s franchises.

    Great work and hilarious!
    Elly

  9. Jeff

    The guy in front of Wheeljack is Newton Gimmick from Teddy Ruxpin.

  10. dupul

    I say, just keep the Care Baers well fed and there’ll be rainbows everywhere! Climate change solved! LOL

  11. dupul

    oops, that should have read:

    I say, just keep the Care Bears well fed and there’ll be rainbows everywhere! Climate change solved! LOL

  12. Strykor

    I’m surprised you didn’t bring in Rob from Mighty Orbots.

  13. Bumblebee's Girl

    OMG!! Dr Snuggles!!! Luv! It!! lol! xx

  14. Grimmjow Jeagerjaques

    Who’s Dr. Snuggles?

  15. Blitzwing'sgirl

    THANK PRIMUS!!!!! WHEELJACK!!!!!!!!

  16. 1337W422102

    Hee hee, Wheeljack looks so pumped up. He’s like, “Yeah, let’s do it!”
    Just a question, though: how many wheels could Wheeljack ‘jack if Wheeljack could ‘jack wheels?

  17. Undrave

    Dr. Snuggles!! Newton Gimmick! Awesome!!

  18. Super Sam

    Good to see the Ninja Turtles represented! Funny strip!

  19. Rattrap007

    the guy behind Don’s speech bubble is spock. You can see the little Starfleet pin. BLue shirt, brainy guy, obviously Spock..

  20. andy M

    im from england and i was wondering who is dr snuggles cos i’ve never heard of him, another top strip aswell.

  21. Armorock

    If only there was a facebook ‘Like’ button….sigh…
    I love your strips with all the science guys, and Wheeljack is a personal fav. Love his big eyes

  22. tjtgtju

    its not a starfleet pin, its a ff (fantastic four) symbol

  23. Jarkes

    I hope I don’t sound like an idiot, but… who’s Doctor Snuggles?
    And yeah, where’s Captain Planet? …God, that show was terrible. It had all the subtlety of an anvil to the head. There was an episode about AIDS, for crying out loud! That’s something you’re NOT to touch in a Saturday morning cartoon, or if you do, it needs to be SUBTLE, a word not in those writers’ dictionaries. Yeah…
    …Maybe I should’ve brought that up on the In Blackest Night strip you did earlier. Whoops…

  24. ☆☆☆ JaganaR ☆☆☆

    on one hand pizza cannons , on the other (eco friendly fuel cells from thundera )
    DAMMMIT , matt this is seriosly a difficult decision >__>

    cant we have a BO vs NUNCHUX to settle the debate ?

  25. Dierna

    Should have had future Don on there instead since he’s a time traveler from a future where the ice melted and everything got flooded.

    Seriously the Archie TMNT series was basically mostly about the environment and our impact on it. I think Al Gore got his idea about global warming from it. *lol*

    Still.. awesome crossover tho.

  26. Zenstrive

    What’s up with me and Ninja Turtles lately?

  27. TFkitty

    HAHA! Wheeljack iz in da back! He looks real intrested.

  28. Razorgeist

    You have a summit on climate change with cartoon charcaters and Dr Egon Spengler isn’t involved.

  29. Matt Moylan

    @ Dierna: Future TMNT kick ass. And I actually own two pages of original TMNTA artwork (well, one TMNTA, and one Mutanimals heh)

  30. Monximus

    Ooook, what do the thundercats know about being eco-friendly, their planet became a wasteland, the turtles are a product of radioactive miss-disposal, and the transformers, they are ROBOTS…so yeah, you perfectly see why the climate change summits never go anywhere, so where is AVALANCHE’s mako reactor exloding ideas?, I mean those guys where enviromentalist, i think Barret would fit in nicely.

  31. Asher Tye

    Donny better be careful, Cobra probably has some dynamite lawyers to protect their copyrights on things like the Weather Dominator. XD

  32. Sean

    Wheeljack has made an appearance with his equal nerds!!!

  33. Belg78

    Yay for Donatello and Wheeljack… but where’s Dr. Light?

  34. BOBATRON

    you know in TF2 how they brought jetfire to life with the allspark splinter? why didnt they use that to bring optimus back to life???? WTF!?!?!?!?!

  35. Bumblebee's Girl

    For all you peeps who can’t remember Dr Snuggles!! lol! xx

  36. Lxndr

    WHEEL JACK!!!

  37. Lxndr

    sorry forgot that there wasn’t a space
    WHEELJACK!!!

  38. wheeljack

    Ya No Pecepter

  39. Strykor

    I still want to see the Orbots one of these days.

  40. Jarkes

    @BOBATRON:
    Because then the movie would be too short. ‘Course, I would’ve PREFERRED that, rather than it dragging on for 2 1/2 hours… Dangit, now you’ve made me hate it even more…

  41. Gazordenplatt

    If Wheeljack’s idea involves more machines that build machines that build catapults and/or microwave-safe ice cube trays, we quit.

  42. sonicownsmarioeverytime

    If I can just pose a question, what would happen if Sparkster(Rocket Knight games) and Nightmare(Soul Calibur series) discuss the finer points of swordsmanship?

  43. Michael

    Nice work.

  44. Metroplex

    Professor Snuggles!? If we were gonna go all Brit in here we could have at least gone with Penfold from Danger Mouse. But I still love it. Great work.

  45. HugeBadWolf

    @Metroplex - DM was the clever one, But I can see Baron Greenback being very interested in climate change :)

  46. trans2rotf

    WHEELJACK IS AT THE BACK!!! HOORAY FOR TRANSFORMERS IN A COMIC STRIP!!!!

  47. unicronsupreme

    Based only on what I can see of the uniform I’d guess that the guy behind the speech balloon is either Spock or Mr. Fantastic.

  48. Strykor

    Okay, I’ve compared two other comics, one with Spock, one with Reed Richards. Spock’s shirt is a slightly deeper blue than Reed’s, which matches the color of the shirt in the background, therefore, it’s Richards.

  49. Grimmjow Jeagerjaques

    Holy shit man!! I just watched Bumblebee’s Girl’s video, I remember that now. Man I haven’t thought of that show in years. Good shit man. Matt’s definitely geekier than I am to remember that. I’m pretty geeky but he takes the fucking cake man XD XD.

  50. Bumblebee's Girl

    @Grimmjow Jeagerjaques, - Glad i could jog someone’s mind!! lol!

  51. Blitzpulse

    Isn’t Turt-ellite spelled T-U-R-T-E-L-L-I-T-E ? with two Ls, not two Ts? maybe i’m wrong.

  52. Hotwire

    late AGAIN?????? dude, you are REALLY off the ball
    seiriously! i mean, i don’t want to be mean, but you haven’t delivered your usual monday in over a MONTH!

  53. jolly_old_saint

    Free funny, don’t complain. That said, silly Don. That plan’s bound to go wrong. Hasn’t he seen cloudy with a chance of meatballs?

  54. HugeBadWolf

    @Hotwire - Are you seriously complaining about free entertainment?
    Damn good free entertainment too :)

  55. Raymond T.

    @ Hotwire - GET A LIFE!!!
    Seriously, do you really think that bitching will make Matt feel any better to try and put out a new item every week? Be glad he does them at all… If he doesn’t make the deadline, he’ll prob. have a good reason for it, which isn’t any of our business.

  56. Jarkes

    @Raymond T.:
    I learned a similar lesson on fanfiction.net. Nice site, fanfiction.net. Check it out sometime, you won’t be sorry. My username there is the same as the one here (Jarkes).

  57. Jarkes

    I just sounded like the TFA version of Swindle… lol.

  58. Jarkes

    Let’s see… who else is missing? …OF COURSE! TAILS!

  59. Raymond T.

    Well, if anyone is missing, it’s prob. Handy Smurf… ;)

  60. CATR's Chris

    It’s a fact that cats and turtles never get along!

  61. Mike

    No new comic this week?

  62. Strykor

    @ Mike - He’ll get it, just give him time. He’s proably swamped, since he works as a managing editor as well as does freelance work. It’s like Jarkes said about FanFiction.net, don’t expect authors to update in a timely manner, especially when they’re braindead on what to write next. I am included in this, as I’m Maloran on there, and nothing wants to come, no matter how many times I open WordPerfect.

  63. Jarkes

    @Strykor:
    Yes, when you write a fanfiction, you should try to have as much planned out as possible. Otherwise, it’ll take you 6 1/2 years to finish a story.

  64. Jarkes

    Hey, Matt, could you clear up whether the guy behind the speech balloon is Reed Richards or Spock? People keep arguing about it, which I find a little ridiculous.

  65. chivalrous

    @Jarkes
    61/2 years is still quicker than GRRM, Robert Jordan or many other writers take to finish their stories.

  66. sonicownsmarioeverytime

    @Jarkes
    I could be wrong, but I think that’s Mr. Fantastic. If you look really close at his shirt, you’d see what looks a lot like the Fantastic Four’s symbol.

  67. DitzyMusicLover

    Jarkes - Now I don’t feel so bad for not posting the next chapter to Lost Feet (my story).

    Everyone - My brother confirmed that it was not Spock. (Likes Star Trek better than anything else, save Superman).

    Matt - We both like your comic. I got him hooked, and sometimes he reminds me of updates.

  68. DitzyMusicLover

    oh, and he said The Weather Wizard should be on there (whoever that is).

  69. Neon

    just want to say you have a new reader
    and a huge comic geek
    so keep those current comic related strips coming!

  70. Grimmjow Jeagerjaques

    The Weather Wizard is a Flash villain. Don’t know much more than that though.

  71. Jarkes

    @Grimmjow Jeagerjaques (Good Lord what a long name, XD):
    Weather Wizard appeared on an episode of Superman: the Animated Series, and then later made appearances on Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. That’s about all I know about him, too. I don’t read much actual comics, mostly just comic-related media.

  72. Jay Bell

    The Samurai Pizza Cats would be the perfect moderators here.
