It could just be a ‘Like’ button. No room for negativity, and we would still get an idea of a strip’s popularity, based on likes relative to other strips
Unfortunately, past strips would appear to be unpopular, since they’d only get likes from archive readers.
Oppressive future would be nice, because at last you’d know for sure what the do with your life…
Btw. shouldn’t it be “I, for one, WOULD/WILL welcome” or something? I’m not English native speaker, but that sentence sound like it needs this. If not, ignore that 😉
It’s a play on the phrase “I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords”, which, if we assume the narrator is a bug like the rest of the characters, makes it funnier that a bug would be referencing this line.
Chok-full-O-WIN!
Hey, cheer up. 9 is still better than 0.
Unless it is 9 with a 0 directly after it! Then it is super-awesome! 🙂
“So you’re saying there’s a chance…YEAH!”
Could we get a rating system going, maybe vote for numbers of stars out of 5?
I often feel like giving kudos for great strips but I always end up writing something that sounds lame when put into words.
We would have to kill anyone putting in a vote under 5 stars. Such a waste. Let’s just agree Bug Martini is made of teh awesome.

By omitting “would” or “will” he is saying that this oppressive future is already on it’s way.

“You can stop with the ‘Body Snatcher’ scream…” – Priceless!
God yes, Donald Sutherland popped in my mind immediately.
I keep seeing people wearing “OBEY” shirts. I don’t know what to make of that.
This may help explain it. Maybe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_the_Giant_Has_a_Posse

THX 1138 FTW! Well played Adam… well played.
Lucas, Coppola, et al would be proud.
I thought we were already *in* the oppressive future.
9%? Not bad. Not bad at all…
First panel: “I, for one” reminds me of “I, for one, welcome our insect overlords.” Were you alluding to the Simpsons?
