Wow. This is the only comic on my "list" that makes me laugh out loud at least once a week. I think it's the hands. I really wish I knew how you manage to convey so much with just hands and no facial expressions.
I always wonder why some of the syndicated comics actually are. Most of them seem about as funny as a corkscrew up the jacksie; laughs are the exception, almost like they messed up and made a joke by mistake. Maybe he's not syndicated because he actually is consistently funny…
rofl panel two is just wrong!!! you gave the guy a rape whistle?! lol there is seriously something wrong with you.
also, i almost gagged when i read this. it's 4am when i read these, and i had to bite a pillow to stop from laughing out loud and waking the whole damn house! needless to say, i choked on said pillow.
Another excellent comic! I agree the rape whistle was unexpected, funny, and the line, "I've seen the way you look at me," could not have been better. Thanks for the laugh!
I was wondering how this panel would come across. The joke is that pre-first aid is just him saying: "Damn man. You okay?"
I found this to be the funniest panel and actually chuckled quite a bit at it, but I wondered if anyone else would get the joke. I went back and forth, trying to figure out if it was funny, or just funny to me.
I actually got that the first time, I'm thinking "isn't that what EVERYONE does?" Maybe he's trained in a special art of it, like a certain fluctuation of vocal quality that doesn't really help anything XD
Yeah, I wasn't sure at first, so the punchline was a bit lost on me for that panel — I guess it depends on the reader. Trouble is, you can't see at first if the smashed-glasses bug had an accident or got beaten up; a culprit prop would've helped me out there, but everyone else seems to have gotten it, so maybe I'm just slow. :-/
Actually when we were learning first aid in school we were told that the first thing to do when you see an unconscious body is to say loudly "Are you okay?" in case you know they just randomly fell asleep or something…
Thanks Adam, you made my day every time, and i feel 🙁 weekends because there is no bug, but lucky it something to look forward too. You definitely must publish a book of all this.
Never leave without house keys, a couple of band aids, my Swiss knife, my umbrella, a pair of fingerless gloves to be able to use any object as a weapon without bruising my palms, a bottle of water, a bunch of tissues and wet tissues, a bunch of Har candies for sucking if I get bored, a bunch of mints for after a meal, headphones(wired and wireless), an external power pack, a charger cable for my phone, maybe even a couple of aa and aaa batteries sometimes. And of course never without my watch, phone and wallet

2nd panel FTW
protection is wize! 🙂
So is your protectionary Cyanide pill.
Huh, and they always told us in scouts the motto was 'A good boy doesn't squeal'
nah that is the church's motto

Why are you not syndicated?

Don't know about that, but I know panel 2 made me laugh out loud.
And then I got some weird looks from my coworkers, until I showed them what was up.
(Okay, no hands in this one, really, so I guess it's the twisted dialogue, too. But still, The hands are (usually) great!)
How does she know it's cyanide? Could just be an aspirin. I've been on dates where I could have used one.
Also, I spelled cyanide right without looking, but had to spellcheck aspirin. I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with that.
Re: Panel 2. How do you clean diet Pepsi off your screen?
Drink window cleaner tomorrow … plus … it might give you super powers also.
ROFL
I love this =)
Nicely done!
Personally, I prefer Drano.
OMG I almost spat my dinner out;P
4th panel definitely rocks adam 😀

Does "Pre-first aid" mean that he beat up that guy?
Ha ha. No.

What's funny for you, is funny for all of us! 🙂

Well, I didn't get it. I half-got it, because I suspected it to be one of those two options.
Maybe it would have worked better if bug had his hands in his pokets — less active
i got it and laughed hard at that panel!

yeah, panel 3 is my favorite. But the whole thing is hysterical.
i need me one of those Survival Kits!
Amazing comic, a good friend of mine got me hooked on these about a month ago, I haven't missed one yet. Keep up the great work, man!
Thanks Adam, you made my day every time, and i feel 🙁 weekends because there is no bug, but lucky it something to look forward too. You definitely must publish a book of all this.
I just completed First Aid and CPR training a few months back so I immediately got the third panel joke. I love that he's not even calling 911!
Hahah! Hey! Where'd Bug find my Survival Kit?!
Damn, are you okay?
Panel 2 is all kinds of wrong LOL. And believe it or not, panel three is actually what your supposed to do before diving in.
YES! Nerd bug finally gets payback for all the crappy stuff he's done to Normal Bug!
The last one reminds me of myself to much lol, love it!
Last frame…… AMAZING
