It'd be better to hide under a car completely so you can break the person's ankles and then drag them under. You could slit their ankles but that would leave a messy drag stain of blood that'd be kinda hard to miss later on for people passing through, and it'd suck to have to clean it up. (No I'm not a serial killer.) lol
Yikes, know what you mean. I used to scoff at friends and family that told me to always walk to my car from the back so I could see if there was anyone lying in the backseat.. But now I do it.
isn't there an article missing in the first sentence? either 'a' or 'the'… (it even seems like there's already the double spaces to go around it) – or, since it says "part of", maybe "added" should be "made". or, maybe it should say "part to", given the article… man, it's such a mystery.
Ah yes, I started checking the backseat at one time, but quickly forgot. Thanks for reminding me! While I don't think I'm worth killing, there are some stupid murderers out there who might think I have money.
Absolutely great! Checking is part of my routine as well. I also make sure I leave a car length in front of me at intersections, in case I have to evade a motorcycle assassin.
Love the road runner trap in the third panel, I like to think nerd bug was in love with regular bug but he spurned he advances so nerd bug went to kill him. You could say nerd bug had a *sunglasses* crush on bug. YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!
It is not paranoia when you check the backseat. My window was open one night and the next morning there was a HUGE raccoon in my backseat eating leftover taco bell my step son left in the front seat.
I got in, started the truck, heard the trilling growl from back seat and ran like he!! back to the house. Left the truck on with the door wide open. I checked the back seat with a flashlight for two years after that morning.
it is unlikely that a serial killer would wait like that as most incredibly successful serial killers tend to be very normal looking and even charismatic to the point that people actually find them very friendly and nice seeming even likable that is until the obtain a weapon and go ballistic
as such i never trust overtly friendly people or even just friendly people
Love bugs pose in the last panel. You can clearly see how unsuspecting he is…
Nerd bug hates bug, doesn't he?
Maybe he's getting back at him for childhood bullying . . . or maybe he just hates everyone.
hah! I literally laughed out loud at the last panel, great stuff, keep it up!

Unless you are 5 inches thick, you are not going to fit under my car.LOL
That can be arranged. Hello, acme steamroller rental? I’ve got a rush job…

Is that because of an experience? Or just paranoia because you feel that you are a target.
I have to say it – that comment is in perfect harmony with your Hannelore avatar.
"You got it, Chief" I shall now go forth and quote bug XD
"Stick out your throat and close your eyes, and you will get a BIG surprise!"
Haha, good comic. Reminds me of one of my all time favourite bug comics (http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/have-you-ever/) with the killer in the shower.
But it's the dimwitted and docile lead the happiest lives.
I must be a bit dimwitted today; what's Nerdbug holding in the last panel?
I believe it's a Garrote. It's used to strangle someone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrote
I was wondering if folks would be able to tell what that is. It's a length of rope.
i recommend adding braid to ur rope. makes it easier to tell what it is =) …maybe XD
I loove bug, read it in my year twelve english class when the teacher gets boring :p
I just wanted to point out that it should be (and please excuse me for being extremely anally retentive here) "AS part of my routine"
Apart from that, you write the funniest and cleverest webcomic on the net
You're right. Thanks for catching that. Will fix.
isn't there an article missing in the first sentence? either 'a' or 'the'… (it even seems like there's already the double spaces to go around it) – or, since it says "part of", maybe "added" should be "made". or, maybe it should say "part to", given the article… man, it's such a mystery.
anyways, awesome comic and all that.
2nd panel made me laugh. Not worth assassinating, yep that's probably most of us!
What's the cost-benefit analysis on that? At what point do we cross the line and become "worth the money"?
It's not unheard of for robbers to hide in the back seat. They don't have to kill you, just take your money/car/etc…
My favorit is the first panel. Like the drawing and the check list.
But I wonder – if he already "checked" the seatbelt, doesn't that mean that he can't turn around backwards to check for killers?
And more important: who would add himself a handicap before he checks for killers? I guess that is already introducing to the "dimwitted" part?
I love girl bug's wit, bringing bug down to reality in the second panel. Like killing bug was either a mistake or a waste of time…
Serial killer AND zombies !
"You got it chief!"
Excellent.
Yo, you are not alone. And it's not about thinking you are important. It's about fearing the violence of ravenous psychopaths who just want blood.
Totally normal.

hahah this one is probably my favorite
Haha! I sometimes check the backseat :/
Hasn't Nerd Bug ever watched cartoons? That boulder trick always backfires on the person pushing the boulder!
Absolutely great! Checking is part of my routine as well. I also make sure I leave a car length in front of me at intersections, in case I have to evade a motorcycle assassin.

You should probably check for assassins first, then put on your seat belt. Otherwise you're pretty much tying yourself down for him
I always check in the back of my car, but before I get in becuase once your in its all over
this.is.awesome.
I do this every time I get in my car, too. Mainly because of zombieland. Still, awesome that others do that too.
Advantage of driving a truck with no room behind the seats to hide. I'm reminded of Columbus's check list in Zombie Land…
I'm pretty sure everyone does that, regardless of if they've seen Zombieland or not.
Gasp! Nerd Bug tried to kill Regular Bug not once, but TWICE!! This time he's gone too far!
It's kinda nice that having a baby gives me a way to thoroughly check the back seat without feeling like I'm being paranoid.
I also tend to check behind the shower curtain in case there's something nasty. Not sure if I'm more worried about an axe murderer or a corpse.
Spiders.
Okay next comic…why isn't it clicking? why are next and latest smaller than normal?
Aw crap, I caught up…
Bug seems just a little too trusting.
great comic,
first panel: 'check backseat of car for murderers"
shouldn't you use either ' or "… not both?
I just want bug to be perfect ^^

AH! LOVE this one. Last panel is genius! Keep up the super amazing work!
I do this, too!
Oh the joy, the utter joy!
check the backseat first!!!
