I had the exact same thought just the other day. As a mid-to-hardcore gamer holding a devout belief in Reading, there is less than no chance I will handle blindness in anything resembling grace.
Mauve is a pale purple color named after the mallow flower.
The first use of the word mauve as a color was in 1796–98 according to the Oxford English Dictionary, but its use seems to have been rare before 1859.
In the Wikipedia article on piñatas it’s claimed that “The participant is blindfolded, given a wooden stick, and then spun a number of times.” This means that the blind kid actually has the edge.
(I wouldn’t know since piñatas don’t figure in birthday parties here although bludgeoning other kids sometimes does).
DTIBA, you’ve become a meme. You’ll be brought up every other comic for a month and then everyone will forget about you. Trust me, I know from personal experience.
It has to be a girl. From “The Man’s Rules”: “1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.” http://www.ebaumsworld.com/jokes/the-mens-rules/80808237/
I just realized that the first panel is an entire Bug joke all by itself.
The doctor is handing the cane to a Bug who appears to already be completely blind. Which means that Bug didn’t realize he was going blind until the doctor examined him.
This seems like a follow on from the last comic, where the bug stares at the sun and his eyes melt. Was this intentional or a fun coincidence? Either way, it works.
One of my friends went blind as an adult. Her eyes went all fibrous and tumor-y, and they had to scoop them out. She has glass eyes now.
The thing is… she’s had people try to claim that she’s not REALLY blind. We’re not sure what they mean, because we’re not sure how you can be more blind than “my eyes were scooped out and replaced with glass ones.”
She can’t hear colors. But she CAN listen to audiobooks sped up to ten times regular speed.
This one is actually funnier after reading the comment thread. First time I read the strip, I giggled. Then I read the comments. Then I read the strip again and I’ve got tears running down my face and my throat hurts because I’m trying not to laugh to loudly and wake up my fiance…

What kind of color is “mauve” supposed to be??
Is that a little girly-girl hiding under the daredevil hood?
Could have been worse; could have been puce.

The Pinata casualty made me laugh more than I should have.
We are NOT naming our superhero “The Mauve Avenger”.
…I can’t believe we named our superhero “The Mauve Avenger.”
I second that!
Oh! DTIBA error: This should have been a reply to Enlong.
Ah, DTIBA, the Leroy Jenkins of webcomic comments.
ARE YOU F%*ING KIDDING ME?

Men see 16 colors, but this kid isn’t seeing ANY colors. The kid is HEARING them.

I like the way your mind works.
First time making a comment. I’ve been reading since late 2016 and just caught up. Daredevil KidBug is awesome.
