He was a nobody in the military and he actually despised the officers. He used his charisma after the war to eventually work his way up to chancellor by promising people he could fix Germany by killing 6 million people. He was very persuading, apparently.
Umm… he didn’t really promise to make Germany better by killing people, though. And he didn’t kill all his competition… in the beginning, at least, Hitler simply promised the Germans what they wanted.
(Yeahh, lame years-old reply is lame… still)
Adam…. do u sell ur originals? Cause i would love to buy this.out of all ur strips so far i want this one. Its crazy i was pondering some stuff like this i even was talking to my fam about darth vader and all he went through to get wer he got to.. can u read ur readers minds??? 😮
Actually, the concept of Good and Evil is not so black and white. Think of it as a color chart: every pixel is different shade/blend of each color. Everyone has a different blend of Good and Evil within them (depending on their personality, knowledge, and total life experience). Also, plenty of people who have done bad things in the past think that think what they’ve done is for the better for themselves and what they believe in. There is more to this concept and is very difficult to grasp at first. Its best to learn it on your own through experience.
People are inherently evil. Anybody is capable of heinous acts. It takes a moral and ethical upbringing to mold us into people who know the difference between right and wrong. Its the only thing that separates us from animals.
Depends on your concept of goodness. Humanity evolved with a pack society; early humans literally could not survive outside of this society. Purely evil humans could not have survived in this environment, as their selfish actions would get them killed by the other members of the pack. Therefore, humans aren’t completely evil. However, the natural forces of evolution favor the selfish overall, so, while humans had to evolve to survive in a pack society, they also evolved to be as selfish as they could while still conforming to the rules of this society. Therefore, humans aren’t completely good. Really, though, morality is relatively arbitrary.
It saddens me to think what Adam might have become had he been able to afford the back-of-the-comic-book art school test! (P1, bottom left.) Alas, I too was too indigent 🙁
as a kid i always wanted to be a mad scientist, so whenever people talked about how you really had to plan out your future i had to take being evil into account for my preferred career choice. i like to say that i made the right choice and my death ray is currently a work in progress
Oop. Too late. Turning evil has been a common reoccurring thought for me my whole life. I know I’ll never go for it, but it sure is fun to think about, especially when you imagine yourself going totally all-out supervillain (I think a lot of people secretly wish for such a life). = P
I think Hitler Bug got Tails.
Actually, Hitler Bug historically landed heads, twice. The school turned him away twice, resulting in him going to war during WWI and rising up the ranks so fast he eventually became Chancellor of Germany. See #5 here: http://www.cracked.com/article_17298_6-random-coincidences-that-created-modern-world.html

My source was Cracked.com, so you can probably tell I didn’t do loads of research on the subject. Sorry.
Oh, I wasn’t calling you out or anything, just though I’d help out a fellow fan.
Jake… Helping out a “fellow fan” of… uh… what, exactly?
Bug, of course, and Adam’s immense genius.
He wasn’t even that persuading. It’s just that people don’t argue with the guy who kills all his political competition … like Putin.

Hitler bug is awesome!
I would try a seahorse gordita crunch, if I wouldn’t be afraid of having mental images of happy seahorses the whole time I was eating it.
Just imagine they are Sea Monkeys.
seahorse… crunchy, nope dont see it.

Also i know this sounds messed up but the lord sweet jesus should hav just blessed dang hitler and let him become an artist :/
Yes. Click on “Purchase” underneath the comic.
Speaking of which, looks like the Purchase page has some extra text..
“Sentence one. Here is sentence two Here is a new paragraph.”
Yeah, that was me testing to see how stuff would look when I typed in that field. I really should fix that.
Don’t remove it, it fits the style of humor that this comic has, at least in my opinion. And we all know my opinion is all that matters.* 🙂
*Sentence not approved for all audiences, sentence probably an outright lie, or at best a serious exaggeration.
Hhaaha thanks sorry i wasnt sure wat that ment i thought it was for buying bug swag
Solzhenitsyn said that the dividing line between good and evil runs not between people but down the middle of every human heart. Illustrate that!

But if Adam still has his old submission lying around, it sure would be a hoot if he posted it 🙂
Seahorse Gordita Crunch is EXCELLENT with fire sauce! And a Mountain Dew, of course. BAJA mountain dew…
“I can’t tell. Does he smell evil to you” has got to be my favourite line now.
(:
The whole comic is golden AND you perfectly captured every single one of my visits to Taco Bell.
From now on, I shall approach all decisions a la Hitler Bug.
Heads – [option A], tails – evil.
No, Harvey! Don’t do it!
I can’t stop laughing at Bug. It is so totally awesome.
