Military arc

This is a story arc about the military visiting Clones 'R' Us.

Plot
It begins with a colonel named Sanders (yes, really) talking to Thaddeus Euphemism on the phone about his growth formula. It turns out, he's created a giant rat and wants the colonel's help.

In the next strip, Sanders asks Bob what Thaddeus's military projects are. When Bob asks why he does not ask Thaddeus directly, Sanders initially claims that he needs to be indirect for professional reasons, but then admits that Thaddeus wouldn't tell him because he's "hiding behind some litigious bear".

In the next strip, Sanders tries to get information out of Bob by "weaponising" his outer shell, so Bob makes a list of weapons he wants.

In the following strip, Thaddeus has found out that Sanders knows about his military projects and confronts Bob. Bob tries to blame iBall, but by then, he's already been weaponized and looks different.

The next strip sees Thaddeus telling Bob off and Bob laser-targeting Thaddeus's face because it "looks cool" to Bob.

The strip after that has Thaddeus lamenting what Sanders did to Bob, who reveals that his "heart" has turned into a self-destruct button.

In the next strip, iBall sees Bob's new weapons and asks him to open a can of soup. They then do "target practice" with Bob's weapons and use soup cans as targets but Bob accidentally shoots six holes in the wall and one hole in Thaddeus's mug.

The story concludes itself in the next strip with Thaddeus removing the weapons from Bob and getting rid of his red eye by hitting him.

Trivia

 * The fact that the colonel's last name is Sanders is probably a reference to Colonel Sanders, the man who invented KFC.
