Admittedly, this comic is a shameless attempt to win “Most Characters Pointing in a Single Comic Strip” at next year’s Eisner Awards.
Bug Martini
Random nonsense three days a week
Well, I honor the attempt, but I suggest you try again with an 8 panel strip. 😀
You just didn’t want to look too eager to win that prize, right?
Female bug in panel 3 could be pointing to nerd bug, would work from a comedy stand point too..
And police bug could be pointing at nerd bug, and kid bug could be pointing at his kid sister. Or the dog. Has Adam ever done a bug pet?
Yes – remember Mittens? The constantly-agitated warthog? https://www.bugmartini.com/comic/pet-grieves/
Yes:

this is one of your darker ones….especially with that last panel
😛
Best first frame ever: look at lil´bug 😉
Yeah, I’m not sure I like what that last panel infers…
Good mind to go to the warden about that. You know what hurts the most is the lack of respect. Except for the… except for the other thing. That hurts the most. The lack of respect hurts the second most.
Dunno if anyone else got that reference to Norm McDonald…but I DID!
Nicely done. I even read it in his voice.
He just needs a fourth for Canasta.
I love the way the third panel shows how that all you have to do to get away with murder is to point to someone else.
That last panel is dark but I like the call back to the first one with his posture.
Wondered if anyone would notice that.
Is it the same Bug as an adult? You’d think he would have learned his lesson the first time.
You’re missing a full stop at the end of the fourth panel’s narration, I think. Good comic, though. :p
Whoops! Good catch – will fix.
