      He’s not. Nor is he British. We don’t have it over here.

    Always liked the image of Elizabeth I shouting, “God’s death, I’ll have thy head!”

    Eliz II can’t get away with that now. Maybe she could sic the corgis on somebody.

    Sometimes Phillip looks like he’s already had the atomic wedgie.

    I read the king’s dialogue in a snooty British accent.

    Hilarious.

    Haha, that last panel took me by surprise. Milk everywhere!
    May I repost this on Reddit or Imgur?

      If you choose to repost this, link to it, don’t post it to Imgur, that robs the creator of site traffic.

    Aw you mentioned Denmark, I feel flattered (isn’t nationalism a weird thing, how we’re proud of something we have no reason to be proud of). Love your comic strip, your sense of humour is really great.

        I’m sure Queen Margarethe has seen a cockato in her time.

    I feel like the Geico Gecko took you an absurdly long time to draw.

      The head was surprisingly tricky to draw.

    For some reason I read the king’s voice as Patrick Stewart…

      Same here. I think it’s because King Bug reminds me of Picard Stewart as King Richard in Robin Hood: Men In Tights

    As a Brit, I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for my people. While the Royal family used to control our country and lead their troops into battle, they now just spend their time visiting foreign countries and waving at people. THey are rubbish, ans we are very sorry. m(__)m

      Mark Twain said that he didn’t know why the British had a royal family, when a troupe of chimpanzees would do the same job for less money. And that was when Victoria was in charge (nominally).

    Is this the first topical strip? In any case, that last panel had me ROFL.

      Sort of. When I thought of scandalous behavior, my first thought were those dirty phone calls between Prince Charles and whats-her-face. Then I thought, “Oh yeah – and Prince Harry recently whipped it out.”

        Whats-her-face! OMG! That was hilarious. So was the last panel…”royal scepter”. So was the whole comic. Knighting the Geiko Gecko. Aw, man, Friday’s always depress me because I know I have to wait two whole days before getting another Bug Comic.
        Well, that and I have to clean the house on Fridays…
        See you Monday!

    What do you mean, “used to be imposing?” If I was confronted in the manner of the last panel, I’d be stammering all over the place.

    “Jus…ju-just a little bit [ahem, cough].”

    That’s pretty much a line in the sand as far as I’m concerned. He’s really “standing firm,” doncha know?

    LOL at the Geico Gecko. The Kingly-looking guy can now at least save 15% on his chariot insurance. God Save the Queen.

    15 minutes can save you 15% or more on knighting insurance.

    I can imagine Phillip in the last panel SO MUCH.

    I’ll miss him when he goes…

    The Gecko looks really

    deflated, I guess, in the Bug art style.

    If I were Royalty, I’d be inclined to say “Royal Flush” after using the bathroom, and yes laughing every time. I’m pretty sure that type of behavior is exactly but not limited to what stands in the way of me ever becoming Royalty.

    laughing/snickering like a school girl or if you prefer text speak SLASG… I know it sounds weird but if it came from The Black Eyed Pea or that G Unit guy it’d catch like a wild fire.

    To be fair, I think this applies almost as well to ALL royalty, regardless of country.
