I Saw Something Weird

Sometimes (most times, actually) I make stuff up for this strip. This is exactly what I saw this weekend. And the saw she was holding was huge! I really should’ve taken a photo.
Bug Martini
Random nonsense three days a week
That is fantastically surreal. I live in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area, so the thing I’m getting used to is the sudden profusion of billboards advertising pot. They seem to have decided that the professional, adult way to say it is “cannabis.”
They don’t want to get confused with a cookware shop.
As a fellow Wisconsinite, I can only imagine this took place in Menards? I never thought about how odd that section is, conveniently located between the pet supplies and the hardware.
You are correct!
I work at a Menards. I love the store but still think it’s kinda weird. Also I came here looking for this comment.
For a moment, in the second panel, I thought you’d drawn her topless????
I, too, stared at the female bug with the mono-boob, until I saw he hand touching her chin.
Whew! I thought it was just me. I was all, “Uh…she’s sorta busty today, ain’t she Adam?” and then I realized it was her arm, reaching up to scratch her chin with her hand.
I guess we’re both gutter-minds…or somethin’…
Nope… I “saw” it too!
You guys are expecting women to have breasts the size of their head which start right under their chins?
Oh this is a guy thing
There’s a woman further down in the comments that saw it too.
I don’t see it 🙁
Wow! I gotta watch what I draw. Didn’t see that when I drew it, but I totally see what you’re seeing. I MC Eschered myself.
I’m a guy, and had trouble seeing it even after I was told what to look for. Don’t worry so much.
I didn’t see it, either.
Still can’t.
But, but … That’s not a chain saw. 😉
Yeah, ’cause women never use non-cooking tools, amirite?
In all seriousness, though – if someplace has hardware and groceries, what’s so nonsensical about someone shopping for both?
Well, everyone starts somewhere. And learning how to use a saw is much easier on cheese puffs than trying it on steel right away.
A saw is a cooking tool if you know what you are doing, or not no what you are doing but think you do.
Thinking of a certain Tom “The Tool man” Taylor.
That’s Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor.
The cheetos symbolize Heteronormativity. (Thanks, word of the day toilet paper.)
Are there just words listed on your toilet paper or is there an explanation for each of them too?
Oh yes. There’s definitions. Mostly they’re fancy words for ordinary things. For instance I never knew man boobs was a condition called ‘gynecomastia’.
I used to go to Home Depot because it had the closest chain burger joint to my place.
It’s subway shops in my area, or is it MrSub? I get the two confused.
Sounds like you shop at a Menard’s lol
I was just going to say – let me guess, Menard’s?
The cheetos could either symbolize the ease of modern life in accessing pleasure OR the artificiality of modern life and it vacuousness. And the saw represents the vague threat of Brexit.
Vague threat?
I thought she had a nip slip in panel two. Then realized it’s her hand and wonderfully curvy arm.
Glad it wasn’t just me lol
Dunno why, but the panel with the lumberjack just casually leaning on his saw makes me smile.
She’s obviously a lumberJILL with the munchies, man.
Should I find it strange that I’m now realizing that the ladybug is completely flat chested?
I’m still wondering why the lumberjack needs a beard. Are there no lesbian lumberjacks? I mean, you know, since there are closet transvestite lumberjacks, and you know, they’re okay?
Since Conchita Wurst surfaced, women with beards seem to be a thing.
i went to prison once. what was my crime?
i ate a bowl of nails
without any milk.
(and also a tree)
