What is it with spitting? Do guys produce so much saliva that they can’t swallow it all? Women do not have this problem, as far as I know. (We also don’t have to keep checking with our hands to make sure our breasts are still there, which seems to be a big time-saver.)
Anyway, I thought we got rid of spittoons when tobacco-chewing went out of fashion. And no, little Buddhas wouldn’t help.
I very often find myself wanting to spit phlegm and being split between going to the toilets or just drinking water but that last option only delays the inevitable…
This made me howl because it hit home. When I lived with my grandparents, grandpa used to go around and hork in in the potted plants. Also in the heat register ducts. In university first year our room was called “Horker’s Haven”. The good ole’ days …
You have probably heard this a lot, but your comics are amazing! Although I think the title should be “The Spitting Image”. Your comics make weekday mornings turn out so much more fun!
Ew no. I still agree with spittoon fell out of trend. We’re not chewing chud…. tobacco anymore and that thing is gross.

PHLEGM MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU SWALLOW IT?
Okay, you get one warning: No F-bombs.
Are you trying to argue that women are better at swallowing? I don’t think any man would argue against that.
Genius!
Pffft! Speak for yourself. I always make sure my boobs still exist.
Yeah… well put your ovaries in a little bag and hang them between your knees and we’ll see who keeps checking on them.
There is just no comfortable position for those damn things.
Advantage, wingspin. Nicely done!!!
I thought I’d heard that they were more or less phase out due to being grossly unsanitary. Like little TB pods.
It was after world war one, spanish flu was going around and the government got the idea that stopping public spitting would help out.
that….actually sounds like a good point….woah
good one

The third panel is genius! Do you ever sell prints, Adam?
I did for a while, but it wasn’t very cost-effective. I might again someday. Originals are available though.
How about Bug-themed spittoons?
I’ll send an email.
Sometimes I like to use big words I don’t understand in order to make myself seem more photosynthesis.
The first panel bug looks like he’s about to walk away while DRINKING from the spittoon. Eww…

“Low fat” doesn’t mean you have to spit the cookie out. It just means you have to eat at least twice as many.
Don’t even get me started on sunflower seeds.
For this strip, panel 2 was great. Bug’s stance and aiming had me there… and I cannnn spitt now!
Considering the general amout of proper aiming by men in the bathroom (from good (bowl) to bad (wall)) a spittoon would be a rather bad idea nowadays.

Thanks!
See, the answer is to keep a box of tissues nearby and then you can just carry the spitty/phlegmy tissue to the trashcan.
