    Adam, shouldn’t panel 3 say “threateningly”?

    Otherwise, the image of a uterus emitting a humming noise that attracts birds is ridiculously funny. “Please don’t do this in the breakroom” also made me laugh.

      Adam’s always inventing cool new words and phrases. So your correction is correct, but not threatenly so. Besides, the more serious error is drawing hair on a Bene Gesserit.

      Some say menstrual synchrony has been debunked, but I refuse to believe it until I see it on Mythbusters (though it’s hard to imagine how 2 guys armed with high explosive would set about doing that).

        Anyone who debunks menstrual synchronicity has no uterus. It exists.

        Read the book. Among other thing, Jessica used to brushes the hairs of the reverend mother in charge of her…

        Please don’t base your knowledge of this awesome saga on the movie… It was so painfully bad.

        I have a uterus and I debunk it!
        Seriously though, there’s 4 weeks in a month and you’re on for one of them, if there’s a few women together chances are a few will be synced.

    I think this one might cross the line between “this is just a joke” and “oh my god women are gross and scary” weirdness on your part.

      OK. It’s late enough in the day that I feel like I can get away with adding that it sure looks an awful lot like girl bug is queefing in panel 2, dont it?

      Coming from a woman… this is absolutely hilarious! Especially since My girlfriends and I have begun to cycle at the same time when we’ve been spending a lot of time together.

      Seriously, some people will complain about anything…

    I laugh because I know you mean well (2nd + 4th panels have their own jokes). But if I showed this to 2X on Reddit, they’d skin you alive (they hated the “women love jerks” one). Tread carefully.

      Because God knows we should all manage our behavior by what the wack jobs at 2X on Reddit think.

    I’m sorry but the head pand, pony tail tie, whatever it is in panel 3 makes it look as though she is wearing a mask. It’s happened to me before in this strip as well. Not that this detracts from the hilarity of the strip. I’m only sad that there was no book or books to give this Christmas. Next year?

      Yes, 2012 is gonna be the year I produce merchandise. I would’ve had stuff sooner but there were a few things that prevented that.

    Okay, I usually don’t find menstration jokes funny, but panel 2 just about killed me! (seriously, I should stop drinking coffee when I read your strips… laughing hysterically + drinking = choking hazard) Only you could have pulled this off! ^^

        Causing “spit-takes” or “shooters” as they’re known in my family, is my main goal in life! We are kindred souls, my friend. I know better than to eat or drink anything while reading this comic.

    Anyone who gets offended by this needs to get a life: “menstruation is not funny”, then you obviously have never done it.

    Yeah it really does happen. I had this job at a show once where we had a really small dressing room and that’s where all of us took our breaks. IT was 16 women and one man in this small room… After the first month of the show we would all sync up within a day or 2 of each other. It is NOT fun. So yes this makes me laugh hysterically and I will now be sending it to every girl from that show!

    So, my brother introduced me to Bug a couple days ago and I have to say, it’s an awesome comic and has caused me to laugh on numerous occasions. I have just finished the archives…I’m sad I now have to wait until tomorrow to get another one and then the WHOLE WEEKEND…

    I started a new job today, with MANY women co-workers, I am now terrified seeing as how mopping the floor is part of my job. I sincerely hope they can do their synching outside

    Once again, you are my brain twin. I used to joke with some of my girlfriends about our periods being dictated by the phases of the moon. Adam, I love you (don’t tell my boyfriend!).

    Also, panel 2 had me cracking up XD

    Thanks for letting my Laugh Out Loud with tears in my eyes in the office at my computer. What will my coworkers think…
    This is one of the best ever 😀

    I just got a great idea, how about letting us rate theese on a scale from: mwaah .. smirk .. Haha .. LOL .. ROFL, and make a Top 50.

    Also, you know to much.
