Kudos to whoever can discern the bug’s body from the branches in panel 3. I drew it and even I have a hard time telling what’s what.

Indeed, this is something pointed out in my sky diving class.
Aside from, “Don’t land in a tree.”, the only other advice I remember is, “Try to hit it back first.”
Well, you could do a Venus flytrap Rube Goldberg meat grinder answer the iron strip, playing bug in a waffle for panel four.
I have no idea what you just said, but it could be the greatest Bug comic yet.
Oh good, I thought I was just me that couldn’t understand him.
Aside from being a humerus commentary on the complexity of tricks performed using simple toys, I believe the trick in question involves tossing a frisbee into the air and having it fall back down and ricochets off of a branch, so it bounces off (while spinning at moderate speed) and knocks the corpse out of the tree and onto the ground.
I can figure out all of bug’s body parts, except for where one of his arms has got to.
“Is that a branch or a bone?” “Branch” “OK, hand me the chainsaw” “BONE BONE BONE AAAHH!”
I don’t know where one of his hands is. The art is pretty awesome though.
And he’s poking out of a bush in the 2nd panel!
I’m sure you did one about someone hurling you into a tree, Adam, but I can’t recall if it was a method of burial or if you died while up there. Or maybe they were trying to trebuchet you over the tree and missed.
Definitely the Trebuchet one. Proof:

This level of random thought is not easy to forget.
this was purposeful, wasent it? to continue to tree-man spree..
XD
The bug in the tree apparently got his left arm torn off on the way up.
I am having no issue discerning tree from bug parts.
