I have been watching (well, reading) your comic for some time now, and I find it hilarious how some people will be the first one's to comment on it for several days (sorta stalking the comic), and on top of that will also be trying to give you pointers about how to do your comic. I think you are doing a hell of a job coming up with enough material (that's actually really good) every day. Good job! Furthermore best wishes on your works.
From what I've seen, a couple will have at least one kid who will either puke, poop, or pee during their baptism. Half of those end up never being spoken of again and the other half end up on AFV.
the first panel is all the more hilarious to me because I was actually dropped the day of my baptism. My parents even have the video footage to prove it…
Panel 3 reminds me of when my nephew was baptized. He was as happy as he could be, except when the priest was near. Smiling, making cute baby noises, but the second the priest did the sign of the cross in front of him he started crying his lungs out. The priest turned and spoke to the audience, the kid went all smiley and happy again, the priest turned towards my nephew and my nephew started screaming and kicking, it was hilarious. If I was the one that had to answer for my nephew I would have told the priest that the kid had already given him his answer..
Turned out that the kid wanted to be held in a sitting position to see what was going on, but every time the priest had to do something, the godmother tilted my nephew into a lying position and he would have none of that – but to everyone in the church it looked like he hated the priests guts, hehe..
hahaha honestly man, you may only have started late 2009, but your comics are rivaling that of giants like xkcd and cyanide and happiness! Awesome comic you have here man. I can random here for hours =)
Such a great comic! I came across Bug through a mention on the Cyanide and Happiness guys' page on explosm.net, and man, am I glad I clicked that link! Nothing like a well written comic strip to spread a bit of fun.
i found out about this comic through C&H and i gotta say, its one of the best ive ever read! i went through the entire archive and each comic made me laugh out loud!
Actually, I got to watch a botched baptism. The priest informed the parents that baptism was a promise to raise and teach their child in Christianity. The kid's father said, in the middle of the baptism, "Wait, but I'm Jewish!"
So. Um. Panel #3 actually happened to me. During the baptism of one of my nephews, I accidentally renounced Christ in front of a Sunday congregation of Southern Baptists.
This reminds me of Rowan Atkinson’s priest in “Four Weddings and a Funeral” (it’s his first wedding).
“In the name of the father, the son, and the holy spigot. Spirit!”
“In the name of the father, the son and the holy goat. Eh… *ghost*.”
A worse thing would be of somebody replaced the Holy Water with vodka as a prank.
WORSE??
Holy Vodka would make that baby be AWESOME
Holy vodka, you've been too long in the fridge deep freeze
Oh, 'fore my arteries seize
Like the boozer you can see his weaves and you know he's drunk
Oh, don't want to see his junk
Gotta get away
Holy vodka
Yeah
(with sincere apologies to Dio.)
AAAAHHHHHHHHH! Vodka.
A russian baby i see
On one occasion, my friend's grandma intervened like this:
Priest: "Emma, I baptise you…"
Granny: "WHAT? No devil's Emma!!! Anne-Mary!!!"

They used to call Constantine V the “turd named”, Copronym, for that reason.
bahahahaha last panel is awesome
i love this comic, i've just gone through the entire archive over the last couple of days and i definitely had to wipe away some tears a few times!
thanks for the chuckles, great work!!!
Nerdbug is a priest!?
No. Priestbug is a nerd. Duh.
schooled
I always wonder if the babies who cry when the holy water touches them are little demons.
the first panel is all the more hilarious to me because I was actually dropped the day of my baptism. My parents even have the video footage to prove it…
of with it's head!
That's it. I'm converting to Burnt Toastism…
I'm glad I was never baptized, even when my parents tried 3 times over my life.
I guess I'm just too evil. Or perhaps they already knew that I would be a member of the Church of Buttered Saints later in life.
"Dear Toast, give us this day our daily bread…" It works, dammit.
DAILY TOAST.
found your comics 3 days ago and now im trough. loved and love it!

Third panel FTW – he does have a lot of cool stuff on the web
At least he didn't say "Holy Goatse", I wonder what God he'd have to pray o.o
Where do you come UP with this stuff? Brilliant! I want to start a webcomic but don't have any good ideas, and can't draw. Any suggestions? Ha ha!
P.S. You do know that "Holy Water" really IS just church sink water…but they boil the hell out of it first.
I can't tell if the pun was intentional or not, but kudos, good sir.
Agreed: Intentional or not, best pun ever.
Kilroy59, you do not undersand the process of sanctification, because you failed to do any research. But it does not involve boiling.
Fran, you do not understand the process of comedy, because you do not have a funny bone. But it does not involve constant criticism
Fran… you do not understand the process of puns and/humor as you did not get the joke. OFF WITH YER HEAD!
sorry make that and/or humor*
they just add salt right?
It could be worse…it could be a botched circumcision….
Great one Adam!
Awesome as usual, especially the last panel LOLZ!
What does the z in lolz stand for?
dude, I went through the whole archive in the past week and it's so funny, it's not even funny anymore – wait, it's funny, yeah, that's it.
Keep 'em coming!
hail the bread god xP
hahaha honestly man, you may only have started late 2009, but your comics are rivaling that of giants like xkcd and cyanide and happiness! Awesome comic you have here man. I can random here for hours =)
I think we already knew that toast was holy. Why else would the Virgin Mary and Jesus keep appearing on it?
not to mention a buisness that makes toasters that brand Jesus’s face on the bread
Such a great comic! I came across Bug through a mention on the Cyanide and Happiness guys' page on explosm.net, and man, am I glad I clicked that link! Nothing like a well written comic strip to spread a bit of fun.
I *LOVE* baby bug!!! <3
Dear Smitty,
You win teh internets.
I see a 'B' trend in your comic titles of the past three days
I noticed that too. Completely unintentional.
i found out about this comic through C&H and i gotta say, its one of the best ive ever read! i went through the entire archive and each comic made me laugh out loud!
HA! I especially like the last panel. I want to be baptized by the Holy Toast… I hear he's good with Jesus Jam.
Actually, there was a priest in Moldova who drowned a kid during a baptism.
Actually, I got to watch a botched baptism. The priest informed the parents that baptism was a promise to raise and teach their child in Christianity. The kid's father said, in the middle of the baptism, "Wait, but I'm Jewish!"
So. Um. Panel #3 actually happened to me. During the baptism of one of my nephews, I accidentally renounced Christ in front of a Sunday congregation of Southern Baptists.
I'm still shocked I survived.
This reminds me of Rowan Atkinson’s priest in “Four Weddings and a Funeral” (it’s his first wedding).
“In the name of the father, the son, and the holy spigot. Spirit!”
“In the name of the father, the son and the holy goat. Eh… *ghost*.”
toast is my god as well.
I love how baby bug suddenly spouts hair in the last panel. The magic of being baptized in the holy toast
Being baptized didn’t keep me a christian- now i’m a Bhudist, (Yes I spelt that wrong probably) an atheist, AAAND a cultist.
