    Wow. You really gotta hate flossing to rather learn the accordion than do it. For eternity. Guess I’ll go floss now (probably not, though).

    Solution: floss picks.

    I don’t floss either. I like to keep the food between my teeth for when I’m hungry.

    What Bug needs is Oral-B satin tape. It’s called ‘satin’ for a reason.

      It’s a pun on the name Sisyphus (he was a king in Greek mythology who was punished by the gods to push a boulder up a hill…where it would roll back down & he’d roll it back up again… for eternity.) The 3rd panel makes an additional reference to him, but he’s given the nickname “Sissy”; both modernized and humiliating given the Bug/Nerd Bug relationship.

    one word that made my dentist happy and savedmy gums – STIMUDENTS. A fancy toothpick that does the job almost as well as flossing, but way better than nothing at all. Only trick is to FIND the gol durn things

    Possible 3rd ocurrence of ‘brows on bug? Not sure they’re really necessary since bug’s eyes are already so expressive. This comment is also unnecessary so we’re even!

    Hah, I can barely remember to brush and use mouth wash, flossing is out of the question. Sure, my teeth will probably fall out when Im 30, but thats a problem for Future Me. Haha, man, I dont envy THAT guy.

    I find just BRUSHING my teeth is a momentous task of evil.
