I disagree with panel 2; tall people catch the wind easer. Whereas, the vertically challenged has a wider costume selection when it comes to “dressing upâ€.
Panel #3 is precisely why women who constantly blabber about men being superficial are total hypocrites. All a tall guy needs to get laid is to show up & not say anything really stupid. A little guy needs to have an amazing personality to even be in the running.
Maybe not, but as a short guy I've been told on more than one occasion (a lot more) that the woman in which I was interested wanted someone taller than me. I bet that happens rarely, if ever, to a tall guy. I know lots of women with minimum height requirements but not a single one with a max limit.
haha, it's different for everyone. I didn't want to date a guy cause just trying to talk to him broke my neck. I was always looking UP! I'm 5'2" and prefer men well below 5'10".
Hey Adam, remember when you did the comic about the bug caught between being skinny and fat? You should do that for us ‘average hight’ people too. I’d love to see what you’d come up with.
This strip and the previous one almost mirror 'midget ninja' in a way. Another disadvantage (not very funny) is that tall guys can eat a lot without worrying about gaining weight; whereas short guys do have to worry.
It really has more to do with your metabolism than your height. Have several friends who are much taller, but also much wider than me, despite the fact that I eat twice as much as they do, simply because my metabolism is through the roof.
I dunno, I’ve dated several women shorter than my kid sister. Of course, my sis is exceptionally tall for a 12-year-old, at 5’9″, only an inch shorter than me! So I guess I don’t have much choice. xD
Flipping between the previous comic and this one, well, they look veeery similar. Almost as if all you did to make them different is slightly changing things…
Hey Adam, why did you put the characters in that order in the last panel? I read it left-to-right like normal and it didn't make sense. Hey, don't get me wrong, I love your comic, just wondering if there was a reason for the right-to-left speech balloons.
They're left-to-right. The bugs have apparently been discussing costume options. The bug on the right has suggested that the other dress up as a jawa, so the bug on the left says, "No, I'm not going as a jawa", . The one on the right asks then, "So… an ewok then?"
Remember that "Seinfeld" episode in which George (who is a shorty) mentiones that he would love to once date a really tall woman? No? Well, never mind.
(He nevertheless gets his wish granted in the end)
[You might be wondering though what is the point to this, and i can't tell you.]
I cannot hold off from commenting ’til I get to the end of this strip! I just found it late yesterday and have been slavishly going through day after day like a glutton, recklessly, uncaring for what the future will hold for me, still, certain that I will soon join the great unwashed who await every mornings’ new strip.
But bring it on, I say, this comic is just too good, I can’t stop. I laid down to sleep after reading for 3+ hours after midnight (including your readers comments, they’re priceless), left the browser open (I NEVER leave the machine on when I sleep) and got up a mere 2 hours later to continue.
Maybe I need to pace myself..? Naah.
So anyway, in answer to johnny-come-lately- Mike Fall, above, it’s all about ‘nestling’, or so I’ve observed. George’s payoff for the shrinkage episode is of particular satisfaction to him! The baser among us might refer to it as “motorboating.” Tacky…
However, speaking from my height of precisely 2 meters, or 6’7″, the real advantage to this lofty vantage point is the sheer number of daring décolletage that are available for viewing to someone of height. From up here, it’s a sea of shimmery sumptuousness, a veritable cornucopia of chalk white cleavage.
Tall guys FTW!
I was digging theough old comics. No one? No one at all? Well I guess I have to say it. He’s gotta be an Ewok because he’s too short for a storm trooper.

Exactly he forgot Yoda
OR R2D2!
(I am not short, but that would be an excellent way to save face if I was.)
Or Mini-Me
Or Grumpy, Dopey, Doc, etc.
Hehe… we're too good for the old "Must be this tall to ride" – joke, are we?
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought of that.
I noticed today Adam didn't want to draw hands. Adam keep up the good work. Your comics usually get me up and ready for the day.
So is tall bug breaking wind in the 2nd panel, that definitely could be a disadvantage of being short!!!! Great strips yesterday & today!
Hahaha… strong winds, indeed! Tall guy commenting on the breeziness sure would be callous, though. Also, he looks rather strained with that wink…
*snigger* breaking wind. I know that's not what you meant…
Panel #3 is precisely why women who constantly blabber about men being superficial are total hypocrites. All a tall guy needs to get laid is to show up & not say anything really stupid. A little guy needs to have an amazing personality to even be in the running.
…It's really not that easy.
Maybe not, but as a short guy I've been told on more than one occasion (a lot more) that the woman in which I was interested wanted someone taller than me. I bet that happens rarely, if ever, to a tall guy. I know lots of women with minimum height requirements but not a single one with a max limit.

Solution to panel 2: weights.
Or use the taller people as a wind breaker.
Yay! a follow-up to yesterdays comic!
Keep it up! series/follow-ups rule!
Hey Adam, remember when you did the comic about the bug caught between being skinny and fat? You should do that for us ‘average hight’ people too. I’d love to see what you’d come up with.
I think that girl bug is my favourite character only because, as Adam has said, she's a guy bug with a wig…

Of course panel three only applies to poor short-arse male bugs.
Us men aren't that heightist.
Very true, but in defence of us girls, it's kinda hard to date a guy shorter than your kid brother. Very. very. creepy.

I'm on to you. >:P
once again this is the first 15 years of my life.
You could always dress up as Tom Cruise…
Funny you should mention Tom Cruise. I came up with this strip (and the previous one) while watching Days of Thunder.

Ditto.
Oh boy, my dyslexia totally dropped the "not" out of the little bug's sentence all ten or so times I read it until just now. Thanks guys!
don't worry, you're not alone there!

I was mistaken by a Short-person as a 'taller' short person… she was 4'1… great for the ego… really…
This year I’m going as Mini-Vader.

Oh! Oh! I know! He’s going as a Shadow!
