Thereminimum

I’m going to have to order a few Theremin, just for the dark matter side effects.

Howard J.

Actually, I believe that either "Radio Electronics" or "Popular Electronics" published an article showing how to build one. Would have been in 1960s or early seventies.

Ironically, I then completely forgot to check again until the strip was up on the public Interweb.

Mark

Good to know, it’ll be up on the site in a few hours anyway

SheepFace2000

why are you talking like that??

Joe

we've already got COVID-19, murder hornets, and aggressive chickens threatening bank customers. we don't need to summon Cthulhu, too.

Joe

Thanks for the update!!

Shawn K. Younkin

Took a gander at Jeph’s twitter. Last tweet was half an hour ago. I think updating his patron just slipped his mind again. Which is a bit of a relief.

Watso

I see a jab at youtu.be/OnlsfeRNw1I coming up

onitake

Are you alright Jeff? You can take a break but just give us a heads up so we don't worry

Olivier Laroche

This is some straight up junkie behavior right here :-D

Tim Keating

Hey Jeph. Longtime lurker and usually don't comment but I wanted to reach out since no update. I hope everything is ok!

Hey Jeph, we're starting to worry about you here. Hope everything is ok.

Currently 12:15 EST on Thursday. Hope everything is alright.

Michael Boettger

Thank you!

Matt Grayson

Theremin. There castle.

i waswondering too

Daniel Burnett

No update yet?

Mark

Wheremin?

Matt Grayson

Somehow, Pintsize MUST be involved.....

Tom wilson

I see Emily building one, and accidentally creating either a small black hole or a temporal portal. Probably the black hole, since Raven already did the time warp thing with Faye's espresso machine.

This is why dark matter has recently been identified as the element thereminium.

Shaun

I'm afraid that there is no thereminimum on theremin puns. :P

Joseph Bonnar

there was a sale

Theraminimum, theramaximum and theraminflection point.

Stephen Wells

"Feeling trolled? Take two theremins for instant relief." (Side effects may include hearing weird sounds, hearing loss, hearing found and dry mouth.)

kaitou

You have to bring a gift, it's the bare thereminimum.

Jax

this is the kind of thing that seems like a fun joke, but gets out of hand really quickly.

Astrid

I feel like now we should all send theremins to Jeph's house. Like one day they could shoot an episode of Hoarders there.

Tim Keating

Is theremaximum to these jokes? I imagine not.

Tim Keating

Or a standing wave?

Maurice Kessler

is theraminimum theraminimum?

SpookyPenguin

Must have either been a hell of a sale, or somehow Amazon had that kit as the #1 gift for librarians....

I want a DIY theremin kit now...

Chris Crowther

Theramin Mind Control plot incoming...

Captain Button

Either a sale in the shop next door or a series of targeted ads for all of Claire's friends. Anyway, looks like a Melon/Pintsize collaboration.

Evgeniy Semyonov

If this is building up to Jeph selling QC branded build-your-own-thermin-kits I'm buying. Just putting it out there

Bagge

Include some AI and Thereminions.

Ye Olde Phart

Wow, just wow...

I -truly- like “new” Hanners! I’ll be very happy when she figures out what she’s up to now.

Bill Hall

MC Hanners: can't touch this! (Too late?)

Leak

Clinton I would believe could do a bit like that. Hannelore and Emily are just hooked up to the same cosmic wavelength or something

Bagge

I see a high Claire building her Theremin and playing around with it just making noise, but then we see Emily building one and mastering the instrument in less than 5 minutes, and I see Clinton trying to build the last one but frequency messes up his robo-hand causing the robo-hand to start to make "WeeEEEeeooohoOOO" noises on it's own wherein he pleads w/ Faye and Bubbles to fix his hand, but they instead refer to Dora's expertise and try to exorcise the demon that now possess Clinton's hand. Or, they all get really high, fart around w/ the Theremins while eating muffins. It could go either way really.

Shawn K. Younkin

we’re gonna need more thereminstrels

Magic Chopstick Games

Emily knows everything

Rich Holmes

What kinda concerns me is how Emily knew the answer to that question so quickly.

awgiedawgie

Actually, Emily had Theramin A in yesterday's strip.

awgiedawgie

Either that, or one of them ordered one kit, and accidentally received a dozen, so they handed them out to everyone outside.

awgiedawgie

Two more and they an put them at the points of a pentagram.

Jeff Hartley

Do a search on theremin and matroska. Multiple theremins is a thing.

Tudza

So… Hannerlore has Theramin A and Clinton has Theramin B. So a multi-Theramin?

Miyaa

Now just wait a cotton pickin theraminute!

Todd Perkins

Theramax?

Paracog Steadham

You have no idea how much this is making me smile. IDK, I’m a sucker for theramins.

You can have my theramin, I haven’t touched it in years. :D

Greg Matyola

Got another theramin.. One hell of a mess I'm in. No way to say no, Many more to go? Overall, it's still a win!

BobC

Please... We need Elliot and Brun to show up. With theramins.

Joseph Bonnar

it's a "Bass Theremin", not just a "big" theremin

LH

Shop next door is having a sale on theremin kits, isn’t it?

Thisguy

How??

Diptych

GD it, this made me LOL, and I never felt nerdier. And for me that's saying something.

Yohannon

What a fuckin nerd. Nice

Also, to no ones surprise, there is a Theramin message board. http://www.thereminworld.com/Forums/T/29025/2-theremins-next-to-eachother?Page=0

Jeremy Jorgensen

Well that was a rabbit hole. Here's a video of 273 Theramins being played together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnlsfeRNw1I

Jeremy Jorgensen

I follow a band called The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, and imagining them with theremins is breaking my brain.

Am Queue

If we knew how many people were attending, and how many brought gifts, we could figure out the theramean, the theramedian, and the theramode. I'll show myself out.

Ted Van Roekel

That's, as they say, the joke.

Kyle

Heremin, Theremin, Everywhereaminmin.

Andrew

Did I miss a thing? I feel like I missed a thing... (What's with all the therimin?)

RobertC

Evan Shlebber would be proud.... https://www.ebanschletter.com/theremin

Tom wilson

You summon Sheldon from Big Bang Theory. And you have to live with that shame.

Bailey Tighe

Thereminception

Hugh Eckert

More like theremaximum amiright? :) Also,if you put one inside the other is that thereminception?

Summer Sudbrink

These are the second and third theremins. Emily got her one too.

Theremins are the ukuleles of the 2020s

Rich Holmes

yes

Matt

You know Jeph, you should really mark sponsored content. Just because you are in the pocket of Big Thermin...

Jeremy

I'm waiting for a third theremin kit to be introduced

Nicholas Lopez

The question is-did she want a theremin- or are all her friends just nerds ❤

SingingTurtles

And a call out on the menu board!

Michael Boettger

Local hobby shop over ordered theremins again huh?

Now I want a matrix of theramins.

Wolfger

I wonder if it's an MC Hammer brand...

MiaKitty

Or is this how the tardis got started?

Michael Boettger

Like Is it a bit, though? It seems kinda like a bit.

EnterTheHero

Champagne Supernova?
