when I was young my elderly white-haired grandmother (complete with apron and always a cake or scone in the oven for a growing young lad), would get riled up by my grandfather. She’d ball up her fists, shake them at grandad and say “THIS one’s hospital, and THIS one’s cemetery! Which one do you want?”. He would almost always give her a smooch and they’d both end up laughing. 🙂
Adam, I appreciate how Bug’s antennae droop progressively along with his fists as he loses confidence in panels 1-3.
Although I think the term Jerk comes from the people who’s sole job it was to pull the chains that provided water for the trains going cross country.
Actually, this is a good plan. Say “all aboard the pain train!” and punch them while they’re still laughing.
You shoulda said ouch-witz. What, too soon?
I see what you did there. Kudos.
*Standing ovation* This is one of your best strip yet.
This strip is good, particularly the Chattanooga Boo Hoo, but for me Bedside Manner November 19, 2009 is still my favorite.

Bedside Manner is good, but my favorite is still How to Know if You’re Causing a Scene:

Is your spouse the only person not looking at you? Now that is funny.
Almost, almost, I say, as funny as: A comically absurd amount of cancer.
Wow. Thanks!
Those are good, but my favorites are these:

Sounds like an awesome couple! With modern couples, punch would come first, then the talk -_-
Wrestler-Bug could gouge your eyes out with his elbow.
LOVE the hat on the Wrestler Bug!
Hey! You mentioned my town Chattanooga!
“All aboard the PAIN TRAIN!”
“More like the LAME TRAIN!”
“That comeback’s almost as lame as your legs’ll be.”
