    Ah, where do I start? There is so much to love about today’s comic.
    The eyes! I’ve always loved how expressive bug’s eyes are, since he has no eyebrows. I believe someone has mentioned this before.
    Also the hand gestures and how you can say so much with just a few strokes of the pen (or the stylus, if you’re using a drawing pad). The one-armed “drat” just killed me!
    And how girl bug’s hair apparently can be shaved off in a shell-form that retains it’s shape. And of course, last but not least, the fact that Bugs can have ponies! It’s like a cockroach having a hippo!
    Awesome!

      Exoskeleton hair made of chitin instead of keratin? Strong, yet supple, and strangely sweet!

    Jeff is on the mark, the subtle yet brilliant hand gestures and eye shapes always make every character so expressive! On a side note, have a merry christmas Adam!

        Dunno, I’d say that it’ll radiate heat at least 50% faster, dunno if it’ll end up 20% cooler. We using Celsius or Kelvin?

    I have definitely been through times when 2 buttons and a gum wrapper was a perfect description of my bank account! Well done!

    And now I know where hair challenged ponies get their manes! Mystery solved!

    Rarity would be so proud of the 4th panel.

    Two buttons and a gum wrapper? I raise you one skittle and a mangled paperclip.

      I don’t get why it needs to sound like you’ve joined a sect just because you happen to enjoy a cartoon. :/ Is it wrong to just, you know, like the series, and nothing past that?

        I feel that any fandom would greet incoming members with an in-joke, if only there was something catchy like ‘welcome to the herd.’ I mean, ‘One of us! One of us!’ doesn’t really work with, say, Sherlock fans (since the character is, true to form, really cold and antisocial), and ‘So you wear a Fez now? Cool’ is clever, but not really catchy.
