    “Ole, sucker.” Ahahahaha, love it.

    Actually, my grandparents used to have a big cactus near the foot of their stairs, and I almost went headfirst over the railing onto it once. Come to think of it, that was a terrible place to put a cactus.

    Now we just have a little potted one named Fluffy.

        That is also all I saw for a second. the pikachu-tail is the second scorpion. the to of the tail is the scorpion’s tail, curled over it’s head. the object sticking out at the bottom is it’s claw. The female scorpion has her claws out in front of her, with her tail also over her head so it looks like a block-ish shape. The thin lines on the bottom are their feet.

        Once you see them, it’s actually really well-drawn scorpion sex.

    The only plant that suffers being dressed up? Christmas tree? Those poinsettia get bows all the time.

    Normally i like to try to guess how you came up with an idea for a comic. So this time im guessing you tripped into a dressed up cactus?

    I like to imagine Bug has a lilt in his voice when he says “~Lil’ Marcas~”.

    ok, so the first panel i saw on this page was the last one, so I just figured the whole comic was about people “whooping” at cacti. I think it would have been funny lol

    Normally I contribute with my own bit of cleverness in comments or I just don’t comment. But I have nothing more than… the scorpions doing it was a stroke of genius. You sir are a scholar and a gentleman.

    I once gave my granddad a cactus as a gift and when it pricked him he caught a blood disease that was so rare he was apparently only the second case in the UK in ten years. It was reeeeally bad. My cactus almost killed my granddad!

    Sadly he has since died from an un-cactus-related condition.

    My mother had cacti all over the house when I was a lad. They had their revenge on me a few times.

    I need to confess to a cacticide (sort of). I moved to the high desert and put my aloe vera plants outside in the shade and gave them plenty of water. I figured they’re succulents so they can handle it. They pretty much slowly crystalized. Poor little guys.

    Who knew? (other than my neighbor and practically everyone else in the valley).

    My stepdad once rode a motorbike into a cactus. Apparently he also tried to use one as a chair when he was like 5, XD
