    I think EVERYONE’s prayed for ol’ Beelz to napalm their school at one point or another. I personally also prayed to Jesus, Zeus, Thor, Gozer the Destructor, and Iggy Pop hoping for their divine help.

      Kudos for the Ghostbusters reference. I love that movie.

      Since until recently, I lived in my school, this wouldn’t be a good idea. I prefer the DIY approach anyway.

    “I accept your designation.”

    Laughed so hard that I nearly fell off my chair. Not a hyperbole – twas a serious and nearly life-threatening situation.

    Prayers to Beelzebub without a blood sacrifice are doomed to fail.

      Usually when Adam intends to introduce a new character, he’ll draw it twice within the same week while it’s fresh in everyone’s minds (eg backwards cap bug). But sometimes the reintroduction can be delayed by a few weeks though still be in the same month, such as for dad bug:

      http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/school-of-thought
      http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/phone-home

      However, in this case, mom bug happens to be standing next to what looks like the real dad bug, legitimizing this mom bug. That means the brunette mom bug from earlier this week was a one-off. Just “a” mom bug instead of “the” mom bug. It also means that “the” mom bug is drawn indistinct from a generic girl bug which makes me kind of sad. Even sadder, it doesn’t look like grandpa bug from back in July is going to be recurring either:

      but I hope I’m wrong.

        That wasn’t Grandpa Bug – that was Bug in the future as an old man.

      Interesting.. If the school was napalmed, and you were a boarder.. don’t you think such thoughts are a tad suicidal?

    As someone who was *terrible* at tag (and subsequently spent most of recess being “it”), the first panel made me laugh pretty hard.

      What did it for me was the extra planks which were apparently standing up of their own volition or pounded into the ground behind the unfinished castle-fort.

    Shouldn’t it have been “Beelzebug”?
    Also…I almost counted the nails, but resisted the urge. I’m sure to overcome my OCD now, right?
    ‘Scuse me while I go shut the front door a few more times…just to be sure.

    I know went Planet of the Apes on my praying and wished my high school would have been nuked. Ever go into a general science class with half the high school football team and the teacher uses your final exam score to grade the entire class on a curve? I learned where they stored the hazardous stuff for defense, not just the grade…..

    How many people actually counted the nails?
