Thereminimum

Howard J.

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

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.

Mark

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

SheepFace2000

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

Joe

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.

Shawn K. Younkin

Thanks for the update!!

Watso

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.

onitake

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

Olivier Laroche

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

Tim Keating

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

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

Creepy Cat Lady

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

Matt Grayson

Thank you!

Theremin. There castle.

Daniel Burnett

i waswondering too

Mark

No update yet?

Matt Grayson

Wheremin?

Tom wilson

Somehow, Pintsize MUST be involved.....

awgiedawgie

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.

Shaun

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

Joseph Bonnar

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

there was a sale

Stephen Wells

Theraminimum, theramaximum and theraminflection point.

kaitou

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

Jax

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

Astrid

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

Tim Keating

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.

Maurice Kessler

Or a standing wave?

SpookyPenguin

is theraminimum theraminimum?

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

Chris Crowther

I want a DIY theremin kit now...

Captain Button

Theramin Mind Control plot incoming...

Evgeniy Semyonov

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.

Bagge

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

Ye Olde Phart

Include some AI and Thereminions.

Wow, just wow...

Bill Hall

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

Leak

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

Bagge

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

Shawn K. Younkin

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.

Magic Chopstick Games

we’re gonna need more thereminstrels

Rich Holmes

Emily knows everything

awgiedawgie

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.

Jeff Hartley

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

Tudza

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

Miyaa

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

Todd Perkins

Now just wait a cotton pickin theraminute!

Paracog Steadham

Theramax?

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

Greg Matyola

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

BobC

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!

Joseph Bonnar

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

LH

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

Thisguy

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

Diptych

How??

Yohannon

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

What a fuckin nerd. Nice

Jeremy Jorgensen

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

Am Queue

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

Ted Van Roekel

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.

Kyle

That's, as they say, the joke.

Andrew

Heremin, Theremin, Everywhereaminmin.

RobertC

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

Tom wilson

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

Bailey Tighe

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

Hugh Eckert

Thereminception

Summer Sudbrink

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

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

Rich Holmes

Theremins are the ukuleles of the 2020s

Matt

yes

Jeremy

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

Nicholas Lopez

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

SingingTurtles

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

Michael Boettger

And a call out on the menu board!

Local hobby shop over ordered theremins again huh?

Wolfger

Now I want a matrix of theramins.

MiaKitty

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

Michael Boettger

Or is this how the tardis got started?

EnterTheHero

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

Max D S

Champagne Supernova?

Michael Boettger
