Webcomic: Rob And Elliot

Rob And Elliot is a slightly surrealist Gag-A-Week Webcomic, starring Elliot an accomplished magician and ESL teacher, who is usually The Only Sane Man (but not always), and his roomate Rob, a total Cloudcuckoolander who is chronically unemployed. The strip does keep a kind of continuity, but most episodes have no real connection to each other, and there are few actual Story Arcs.

, with updates every Monday.

Tropes featured include:

Bond One-Liner: Discussed. ''It has to be the most depressing thing in the world for James Bond to just shoot a Guy.''
Jerkass: Clint, but with style.
Infant Immortality: Rob attempts to take this to it's logical extreme by making a bulletproof vest out of live babies.
Morality Dial / Second Law My Ass: In this strip.
Smoke Out: Attempted at the get-to-know-the-tenants party, with a subversion of the first type.
You Know I'm Black, Right?: Parodied. Elliot makes a joke about a "dumb guy," prompting Rob to blow up in his face: "My mother was dumb! I'm half dumb!"
