I am goign to have seriously think about suing my dentist for breach of privacy – how else could you have nailed my toothy story so perfectly??
😛 Well done mate!!
It’s a pun on the name Sisyphus (he was a king in Greek mythology who was punished by the gods to push a boulder up a hill…where it would roll back down & he’d roll it back up again… for eternity.) The 3rd panel makes an additional reference to him, but he’s given the nickname “Sissy”; both modernized and humiliating given the Bug/Nerd Bug relationship.
one word that made my dentist happy and savedmy gums – STIMUDENTS. A fancy toothpick that does the job almost as well as flossing, but way better than nothing at all. Only trick is to FIND the gol durn things
And from this point on the Bug will forever be know as Sissy Bug

| -.-| Why does this hill not plateau?! (Boulder rolls back down hill) NOT AGAIN!!!!!
Possible 3rd ocurrence of ‘brows on bug? Not sure they’re really necessary since bug’s eyes are already so expressive. This comment is also unnecessary so we’re even!
Hah, I can barely remember to brush and use mouth wash, flossing is out of the question. Sure, my teeth will probably fall out when Im 30, but thats a problem for Future Me. Haha, man, I dont envy THAT guy.

Good bacteria… Good plaque! …Right?
I…
wow, this is dead on.
except my name isn’t Sissy. it’s Seth, close, but no cigar
Hey me too! The Seth, not the sissy. lol
Wow. You really gotta hate flossing to rather learn the accordion than do it. For eternity. Guess I’ll go floss now (probably not, though).
Solution: floss picks.
Bug has a name! And his name is Sissy.
Was Spanky taken?
short for Sisyphus, right (though it took me three tries to not read it as syphilis)?
floss….I don’t know exactly what this is. Maybe if i remove my dentures, I’ll understand..
I don’t floss either. I like to keep the food between my teeth for when I’m hungry.
What Bug needs is Oral-B satin tape. It’s called ‘satin’ for a reason.
why is phus spelled that way is it some sort of teeth pun i don;t understand?

To add…
Sissy: wimp, pussy, weak cant fight or is scared to do something bad
thanks, that went over my head
oh, but this comic does represent man’s eternal dilemma, that everyone has to deal with. except dentists. but i am pretty sure they are not humans

A gentleman is one who knows how to play the accordion, but doesn’t!

I’d like to be 30 again…
Gah! It makes me so happy to see a dental-related strip! I’m in the dental world and I have been hoping to see one! Thanks 🙂
I find just BRUSHING my teeth is a momentous task of evil.
