Uh…not even CLOSE to first (by 45 minutes), so…why bother putting that in there? What is the obsession with announcing “first” when commenting? I truly do not get this phenomenon.
It’s a surrogate for achievement in the slackernet generation. What makes it all the more pathetic here is that comments can be embargoed for Adam’s approval so that it’s impossible to declare first with any certainty.
I too have thought the same. Though now I wish my name was Joe or something. Could you just do a week of alternative names like Joe, Max Kill, Clancy or Percy. Just so we potential name changers would know what it’s like?
Ya gotta have clean li’l stumps, yessireeBob, you betcha!
Hankbug should be a regular character. If Bug characters wore shirts, Hankbug would wear a flannel one, like a lumberjack…IMHO, of course.
I often wonder how life would be different had I been named Mr. Pickles. All in all, it probably wouldn’t be too different for me. My name is Michael and that’s pretty much like pickles. It just hasn’t been pickled yet. Michael is the cucumber of names.
Adam, I love bug so much. Do you have any Bugcomic Tshirt or similar merchandise ? I would totally buy one. I searched topatco.com . Couldn’t find any there. Please consider selling some bug merchandise.
Ok, maybe it was the String Theory symposium setting, but my mind immediately jumped to Hank McCoy. You know, Beast from X-Men? Talk about one helluva brute… Betcha he could bale some hay.
I’ve done the same thing, but if I went by Vince. I’m curious if my hair would suddenly ooze hair gel or if I’d have an urge to surf. Or maybe an urge to play some football.
Whenever I hear Hank I think of King of the Hill…
well, he does look clean.
BRILLIANT (first btw)

Agreed.
Adam, if it were up to me, if any comment says “first” just leave it until like 11 in the morning or something. It can wait.
Firsties are not only pointless, but it hints at youtube comment stupidity… which we don’t want or need here.
Hmm… If I were named Hank…. I’d have to wonder about the sanity of my parents, naming a girl Hank.
If you were Hank, you’d be working for the DEA and not be able to walk right now.
best show on tv……ever!
Who the eff is Hank?
YOU certainly didn’t forget to be awesome.
And so begins the adventures of HankBug.
“Anyone want to bale some hay?” L.O.L.
And is “race car” one word or two? Not trying to be a Grammar Nazi; I’ve seen it written both ways.
The only Hank I know, is Hank Moody.
lava rock….I believe that’s pumice…..
As soon as I read the first panel, I thought of Grape Nuts.
Hank wears a t-shirt that says, “Montana – Big Cock Country” with a picture of a pheasant on it.
Salt of the earth bug.

Not yet, but I’m planning on contacting the fine folks at Topataco soon.
OMG… lava soap… reminds me of Dad!
If I were named Hank I’d create a simulation of an actress, develop cancer and die.

My name is Hank, and this comic is almost exactly opposite of my own self. It’s a damn shame, it is…
Hank just reminds me of Nerdfighters. DFTBA!
You would be blue and covered in fur. C’mon!
Lol, i love the randomness of the beginning, you clearly didnt learn much of physics there if you were so distracted.
To be fair, I’m always a little distracted.
I love your running gag (“I was doing something totally random and unrelated when I thought/wondered…”)
Hank…I’d expect Royal Pains or KOTH, but never Bug.
I assume if you were named Hank you would sell propane and propane accessories, I tell you what.
You’d be like Hank Green from the vlogbrothers, obviously.
hahahahha third panel for the win >_______<
I love BUG… but that first panel is just so brilliant!
I’ve done the same thing, but if I went by Vince. I’m curious if my hair would suddenly ooze hair gel or if I’d have an urge to surf. Or maybe an urge to play some football.
I also have a cap saying “Real men crap grenades.” I only bought it because it was on offer.
And you’ll sell propane and propane accessories.
