    There is so much truth to this – I had a martial arts related black eye once and a few people at work were convinced it was my former wife that had done it to me – lolol

      Same thing happened to me in a nasty way (roundhouse to the face >_<), and being a minor it was always assumed it was my parents.

      My parents live 500 miles from me, we went to their place once and my mom had two black eyes. She had passed out while walking, did a total face plant, and *poof*. I feel sorry for my dad who was probably getting a lot of stares.

      My brother had a red eye once. He was out playing paintball and he got shot in the goggles at the lower limit where the plexi meets the frame. The plexiglass shattered and pushed back in to his lower eye socket orbit, causing some capillary rupture in his eye. As I recall, he said it didn’t interfere or color his vision. Took a month or two to clear.

      I’ve always intended to have that put on my tombstone.

    You are one of a handful of geniuses out there. Bug is consistently funny, consistently topical. I envy you. And also – well done.

    I don’t know if it’s the worst injury, I’ve seen someone flip his knee cap upside down…

    But seriously, great comic! Keep it up.

      I’m simply enjoying the fact that quadripalegia was not even considered here.

    I got lucky and mine was not too noticeable. Everyone would have thought my husband hit me. It was so stupid! I leaned in for a hug, he was moving his arm to wrap it around me, and I high-speed rammed my damned eye into his elbow!

    While I concede that a black eye is the worst LOOKING injury…the worst one to receive, speaking as a guy here, is a … zipper catching skin malfunction. I’ve yet to experience ANYthing even remotely like it for sheer PAIN! I s’pose that might be difficult to draw on Bug, though.
    Well done, as per usual, Adam!

    I know the feeling. I lost a fight with a wasp last summer and enjoyed being called Rocky Balboa for a week.

    Worst injury to receive = most fun to draw like a coffee bean.
    Black eye is not even close.
    Whatever you do, don’t EVER google transanal evisceration…

    Is dented crotch another name for Peyronie’s Disease?
    Also, I’ll bet the cartoonist recently acquired a black eye.

    My mother once got sick in the head on my father’s boat. She passed out, smacked her head on the doorknob on the way down. My father tried to extricate her, quite literally with the slapstick effect of repeatedly opening the door against her face. Took them a while to convince the hospital staff it wasn’t domestic violence. To this day, it’s one of those things they both laugh about.

    I had a bike accident where my tire popped into a street car track (westbound) as I tried to turn south. We compromised, I went over the handlebars southwest. I hit the ground with both hands but my left arm collapsed and I bounced my left side of my face off the pavement. Lucklily it was cold that morning and I had gone back to get my bike gloves before I had got very far. If I had not, I would have hamburgered both hands. Now that would have been VERY painful

    I got a combination black eye/glass burn in gym class once. Some ball just whipped me in the face and streaked my glasses over my eyelid. I was so thrilled, I showed it off to everybody who’d listen because I’d never gotten a black eye before, and it’s such a classic injury. Everyone was shocked because I think they were expecting me to cry and snivel over it or something (y’know how wussy us girls are). The boys’ teacher even gave me a special escort to the nurse’s office.
