…Yeah, actually, I dunno where the ninja craze came from, but it can be a bit OTT. There’s even a kids cooking show that has a ninja, for reasons unknown to me.
But it’s ok when Adam does ninjas. Cause Adam is awesome.
Originally ninjutsu were just the art of avoiding combat. It was, among other things, used by peasants to get away from samurais. The well known throwing star, or shuriken, was used to make sounds and distract the samurai while the ninja escaped. Of course this was perfected into a martial art after a while. And you can’t really say that samurais exterminated ninjas or the other way round as Ninjutsu is a martial art and the samurais were more like a knighthood. Ninjutsu is just a way of fighting/avoiding combat.
Samurais DID exterminate ninjas. They surrounded them. A thousand Samurais against 1 ninja, so the poor ninja couldn’t escape and then, the samurais slashed the ninjas with katanas!
Sometimes, it seems like the comments section is a giant game of Bladerdash. Have any of you played that game? You are supposed to try and guess which snipet of information is real from among a whole passel of hooey…
I don’t know why, but with my family, doesn’t matter how old you are, but we find fart jokes to be really really REALLY funny, so it was REALLY hard to get past the second panel.
in frame #3 it kinda looks like someone drove a big dagger through the top of that old dude’s head (the beard being the blade). at least i thought so. =)
Hey, been reading this strip for a while and it remains hands down one of the funniest things Ive ever read.
Respect for your killer sense of humour from here in India man, Im recommending this site to everyone I know who can take it! Cheers!
Muscle control and a diet designed to minimize smell would be my bet. On a similar note, before going into battle samurai would eat a special diet designed to prevent them from crapping their pants if they died.
I just can’t get past the concept that
1. You have a Back to the Future soundtrack CASSETTE.
2. You care enough to fix said cassette.
3. The implication is that you have something to use said cassette IN.
I laughed through the entirety of this strip, and it too two minutes for me to read. I had to pause for breathing breaks and look away from the monitor to ensure I didn’t faint. I think you win.
I’m only 24 and I remember winding cassettes… both the audio and video brands. Sometimes if I was bored, I would pull the tape out of old crappy films to kill time rewinding it.
I actually prefer Pirates. :O But your Ninjas are the most awesome ninjas. I don’t usually laugh at fart jokes….ever, but this comic is just too hilarious! The third panel is so funny! XD
Ok… I’m gonna get crap for this, but… ninjas are SO DAMN OVERRATED
*le gasp!*
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! HOW COULD YOU SAY…
…Yeah, actually, I dunno where the ninja craze came from, but it can be a bit OTT. There’s even a kids cooking show that has a ninja, for reasons unknown to me.

Ye’r right. Ninjas ARE overrated. They went extint about two hundred years ago. Do you know who put the ninjas on exctinction? Samurais! Hell yeah!
Is that factually accurate? I thought it was the other way around.
Also, the alliteration in panel 3 is win.
It really was. Both of your points.
…yup.
Ninjas and Samurai were often the same people. Samurai by day, Ninja by night.
Heh heh “Drop ass”

*cough* Pirates *cough*
I agree. They’re just glorified assassins.
assassins are completely different.
Hahaha! This is just great!
Big laughs all the way through!
You just made my day Adam
If I had nickel for every time someone has asked, “Did those begonias just drop ass?” … well, I’d have a nickel.
And I too would have a nickel, and then we’d have 2 nickels. What’s that in GBP?
About 6p. (Ten cents US.)
Can I have it in €?
Another one that surely would have knocked me off my chair were I sitting on one. Surfing from a couch has it’s advantages
@Captain Scatchy
Thats a keepsake.
On the topic of back to the future, what would happen if you played it backwards?
Holy fart, that last panel had me in stitches!!
Funniest thing I’ve read in WEEKS.
The lil’ ninja bugs, and the “Master” bug…. classic, awesome, just wow lmao.
his little fu man chu and top knot!! roflz xD
I don’t know why, but with my family, doesn’t matter how old you are, but we find fart jokes to be really really REALLY funny, so it was REALLY hard to get past the second panel.
Panel 1 is fantastic – such a natural segue from one concept to another.
One of the best yet!!! I got my friends addicted to your comic, Adam!
Sweet! Thanks!
Nah! Bug’s irrepressible desire to discuss movies would STILL give him away:
http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/its-ninja-time/
Also… that is a dead-on Pai Mei bug. Nice job!
OK…I wanna be a ninja now just for that last panel.
Got me laughing out loud today Adam
Ha ha ha this is friggin brilliant. I wanna know what sick twisted mind came up with this?! Cos it’s absolute genius!
He said he did whilst fixing his Back to the Future cassette
I love every panel of this comic, but what I think I love most is that panel 1 doesn’t even need to be a joke.
Using a straw gently pushed up their backwards may help release the pressure, preventing sonorous blats.
in frame #3 it kinda looks like someone drove a big dagger through the top of that old dude’s head (the beard being the blade). at least i thought so. =)
My boyfriend knows how to do a silent fart…. he told me it was so he could fart in school. Perhaps he is a ninja!!
That explains why my plants kee… *thud*
Is this the beginning of a Ninja themed week?
4 panels of laughs. Owen is right. Each panel could stand on its own.
BOOK! I need Bug books to give this Christmas!
Workin’ on it.
Awesome!
Wooo! Book! XD
Yay, book!
Thanks again for a comic that has me in such convulsions that my husband looks at me very oddly
You always start with the most random things Adam haha “Repairing audio cassette of Back to The Future” anyway great comic as always keep it up!
Hey, been reading this strip for a while and it remains hands down one of the funniest things Ive ever read.
Respect for your killer sense of humour from here in India man, Im recommending this site to everyone I know who can take it! Cheers!
Thanks a lot, man!
I *love* Sensai Bug. Classic.
I don’t want to know what he did to his but to make it sound like a flute o_o
Spread the cheeks apart. No sound.
Hard to do while hanging from a ceiling corner.
Hey, he’s a ninja. Hard is part of the job.
Are there female ninjas? Do they have this problem?
yes but most have mastered the art of no sound… but smell might still be a problem.
Muscle control and a diet designed to minimize smell would be my bet. On a similar note, before going into battle samurai would eat a special diet designed to prevent them from crapping their pants if they died.
You have the strangest thoughts at the most absurd times.
I like this.
I just can’t get past the concept that
1. You have a Back to the Future soundtrack CASSETTE.
2. You care enough to fix said cassette.
3. The implication is that you have something to use said cassette IN.

hahahah Oh goodness
Gad. I am old enough to know exactly how a pencil would be used to help repair a cassette tape.
I’m only 24 and I remember winding cassettes… both the audio and video brands. Sometimes if I was bored, I would pull the tape out of old crappy films to kill time rewinding it.
I HAVE that soundtrack on tape!!!
I could say, “Hush their Hiney Hullabaloo” all day! It kind of reminds me of slang from country folk
Audio cassette WIN!
I actually prefer Pirates. :O But your Ninjas are the most awesome ninjas. I don’t usually laugh at fart jokes….ever, but this comic is just too hilarious! The third panel is so funny! XD
