I laughed SO hard when I read "whiny knob." That is truly excellent. As a side note, doctors are in fact known to say "walk it off" with surprising frequency-I know because I worked with one for two years.
You'd be surprised. Many years ago my mother was coughing up blood, a lot of it. The doctor actually told her to walk it off. Turns out you can't walk off lung cancer…
Okey dokey all done. Wow you have a lotta comics here Adam and I gotta say they are BLOODY BRILLIANT (you're probably sick of reading that bit oh well) keep up the good work. I should probably go to sleep now it's like 1 in the morning here in Australia.
It’s been ages since you commented this, but another Aussie fan! Adam’s work is brilliant and I have the same name as well, so it makes it that much better
I adore this. My mom's an ER nurse and the majority of people that come into the ER nowadays DO need to be told to just "walk it off." Sadly, the docs can't do that as much as they'd like to.
Panel 2 was me as a kid. Happened to fall out of trees A LOT.
Just started reading Bug this last week, I've enjoyed about97% of what I have read! My wife even likes Bug and she thinks 9/10 of the web comics I read are stupid. So props! You Rock!
once as a kid i was playing 'war' or somesuch on a farm, i was crawling around on my hands and knees among the tall grass hiding from the other kids. i somehow managed while crawling to place my hands on the other side of one of those low, single-wire electric fences (they're like a foot off the ground) and clotheslined my gut with that thing.
When someone tells you this, just say: "I think getting here to recieve actual help would have involved walking. Clearly, that didn't work. Perhaps you could be realistic?"
As a medical student, I can tell you we are absolutely taught how to do this, with tact and conviction. I will point you to this excellent teaching resource: http://goo.gl/lZalt

That seems to be the standard for medicine nowadays.
That would b seriously eff'ed up to tell a paraplegic to walk it off o__O
Nice icon
2nd panel had me in stitches!
I'm glad you make this comic. It makes me happy every time you post.

Only in Britain, my friend. Only in Britain.
In the US too.
You don’t have insurance?? Do you have $3000? No? Do you make less than $5000 a year? No?
Walk it off.
Hehe..
The storey of my life
"story"
So… both nerd bug and lady bug work for an HMO I guess.
Just utterly fantastic, you're a bloody genius Adam.
Ha! Using this comic for the next paramedic class I teach…
Also – "Farting sparks" is genius.
No wonder Bug’s balloon deflated, he’s a spark farter.

The third and fourth panels… there are no words to describe the sheer awesomeness of these.
If they arn't trained that way then I think they are trained to tell you to rub some dirt in it.
walk it off…. that be the perfect medicine for my obesety.. ohh why have i never thougth of that ^^

I REALLY need to stop opening this comic at work. I almost choked on a mint today! Bad Adam, bad! Keep 'em coming please.
Just walk it off
Great comic, the second and third panel must be this death panel everyone keeps talking about.
Panel 2 was me as a kid. Happened to fall out of trees A LOT.

The spark farts are instant classic
(this from someone who hates fart humor
You gotta eat lightning and crap thunder! Sorry but I just remembered that and how it applies to panel 3.
once as a kid i was playing 'war' or somesuch on a farm, i was crawling around on my hands and knees among the tall grass hiding from the other kids. i somehow managed while crawling to place my hands on the other side of one of those low, single-wire electric fences (they're like a foot off the ground) and clotheslined my gut with that thing.
OH MAN THAT HURT.

A doctor told me to just walk it off once in a hospital, after i had injured my ankle, which was black and twice its normal size at the time.
Turns out i had torn my Achilles tendon… i hate doctors xD
