    Don’t crosses only work on vampires?

    If so, try Holy Water.

      Or garlic… No, that’s vampires. Silver bullet? No, that’s werewolves. Fire? No, Frankenstein monster. Well, bullets and fire should work on almost anybody, really.

        If all else fails “Burn it with fire!” is a good one to fall back on … well except for fire elementals, red dragons, Pele and that guy.

    No Adam, that only works if you are a priest. You need to reroll as a priest while he rerolls as a warlock. Right now he is a wizard, so it is totally cool to kill him with either a wooden stake or a meaty steak.
    I mean, it’s not like he is an awesome sorcerer or anything. (sorcs>wizzies)

    Panel 3 is everything Gob Bluth wishes he could be.

      Gob instantly came to my mind. “For the same reason you should believe this hundred dollar bill is no more than a hundred pennies!”

    Don’t mind if the money flies. Just don’t want it to vanish.

    As an amateur magician, I must say I enjoyed today’s cartoon.

    Good work!

        1) I actually got here with “bugcomic.com”
        2) If you look at the title at bugmartini, it’s still “Bug”
        3) If you hoverover the word “Bug” up in the upper left corner of bugmartini, you’ll see that it goes to the site’s homepage …. bugcomic.com
        4) (and most important):
        What Adam Said (below) 🙂

        I was going to make a new logo and other things on Saturday, but had to help my folks clean out their garage.

        Don’t fret. It’ll be coming.

    I can’t find the fishing line in panel 2.

    Hm, you wouldn’t like my Dad then. He’s a magician, but also has a normal job, so he’s always pulling little stunts to liven things up.

    I think it’s spelled “kadabra.”

      Although if we are making subjective observations, I would put a comma between “see” and “it’s” in panel 4. Also, I have a coworker who has done magic at work in the past. It’s mostly probability-based math, though, so that doesn’t seem too satanic.

        You’re right. I penciled a comma, but forgot to ink it. Will fix.

    I do/did the “Disappearing Credit Card” thing a lot. A customer hands it over. I swipe it. Look at the screen and say, “This is no good.” Then, [flip, gone!]
    They freak for a sec. Then, I bring it back!

    …it has never scored me any ladies, though.

      I’d suggest trying it with something a little less potentially life-ruining. If I thought my credit card had vanished, I’d be ready to start punching everyone and thing within reach, and that kind of anxiety doesn’t just – *sunglasses* – disappear.

    I love Bug’s impotent little “tap”s. Of course if he really wants to do some damage, he needs to sharpen that sucker. I know a stake through the heart is supposed to be for vampires, but really, can you think of very many creatures that *wouldn’t* kill?
