3''Rob And Elliot'' is a slightly surrealist Gag-A-Week Webcomic, starring Elliot an accomplished magician and ESL teacher, who is usually The OnlySaneMan (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 [[StoryArc Story Arcs]].
