So I was ambling by my parochial pumpkin patch (err, produce dept) when I came upon these beguiling butter squash begging to be bugified. I was totally tempted to do sexual deviant bug from bugcomic.com/comics/not-so-sexy, but I’m already on thin ice with the neighbors as it is. So enjoy my Halloween tribute to the *2nd* best bug strip of all time (change jpg to html if you want some tips for making your own):
Oh, I dunno. You can get away with giving away all sorts of random stuff in our area -a big basket of colored rubber bands, bizarre erasers, old trading cards, knick-knacks and bric-a-brac, a pair of tweezers one year by mistake, a Zombie die, bouncy balls, any old thing you throw together at the 11th hour when you realize -Oh, blast and bother, it’s not Halloween already?!
Shouldn’t someone dressing up as a turtle be considered a “scaly” rather than a furry?
And once we’re at it I’m also in favour of labeling people who dress up as bugs “exoskeletties”.
Furries walk among normal folks year round, actually. Just as bondage fetisihsts don’t walk around in bondage gear all the time, fursuiters don’t walk around in fursuits all the time. You should read the article “Hell Hath No Furries” sometime. It’s a reporter’s first-hand experience going to a furry convention and finding that the public perception of furries is more or less bollocks.
And before people start telling me “Lighten up, it’s just a joke.” remember this rule of thumb: if a joke requires you to remind people that it’s just a joke, IT ISN’T FUNNY.
Only furries? All kinds of geeks and perverts can go out in public on Halloween; Weregeek (another webcomic) even had the geek-hating antagonists declaring truce on Halloween because of the likelihood of collateral damage, and I imagine that you can get away with wearing almost anything in public if you say it’s a costume.
‘Course, props to picking Fursuit Bug, since she (he?) is likely lies on the intersection between geekery (furry fandom [i.e. fans of characters, e.g. Sonic, TMNT, etc.]) and perviness (furry fetishism).

I’m skipping your neighborhood…
Trying to imagine how bug would pull that off in panal three…
…Piggy-back pooping?
(Do excuse me, I need to go and scrub that terrible mental image off my brain…)
They probably just took the bird house down, pooped, and then put it back. Prank smart, not hard, right?
Awww so true! and awesome!!
I swear I’ve seen some with some resemblance to your avatar. But then again I was at an anime convention. But agreed great strip.
Someone*
I wonder why the furry has swords, or scimitars,….. Actually I don’t want to know.
That’s the Halloween costume.

I love Samhain!
It’s my favorite time of the year.
Hey, I gotta say I really enjoy your comics, I read daily. Keep up the awesome work.
Man..I havent even fulfilled my life goal of doing an upper decker before Bug launches a new goal for me…

RAAR RAAR HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY OBSCURE SUBCULTURE RAARGH
…says the guy in the comments section of a webcomic featuring anthropomorphic bugs…
Dude, I’m furry too and I just laughed. I don’t think anyone failed to realize it was a joke. So yeah, lighten up.
O.O
(:-:)
(/\)
By that definition, nothing is funny.
I love the old bugs!

Ugh, you made me remember Venus de Milo. Such an atrocity to Turtle-dom that even Eastman and Laird deny her canon. Fox Kids, you sucked so hard.
