Trugg Tails – Pterodactyls
This week I’m sending you down about 4000 miles (or 6437.376 km) towards the center of the Earth to spend some time with the Truggz. They are not the big, scary red demon monsters that you might think. Ok, maybe they are, but they have their funny moments, too!
I hate it when that happens…
Symbolically this could work for people, too, if every time they open their mouth, they something bad.
Is it a sign of bad breath?
He needs some pterodactyl floss.
That’s some serious bad breath !!
That’s primordially bad breath!
Someone needs a serious breath mint! [blinks]
Sure, if you’ve got a mint the size of a phone booth!
I hate when that happens!
Especially at a public event!
Easy fix – He can stop opening his mouth!*
*there may be side effects.
I wonder if they make a pterodactyl mouthwash?
Ok so where can I get this super power from? Need it now!
You have to yell: “Pterodactyl breath” and then yawn. I kind of does sound like a video game character…hmmm.
And I thought I was the only one with that problem 🙂
Haha, I certainly hope you’ve got a good otolaryngologist!
Wait! They’re gone now. None coming out while he’s talking. Maybe he should talk more often. (Beats moths!) :`D
I believe the pterodactyls paused for comedy effect, lol.
Ah well. That explains it then, *giggles*. <3
That’s what happens when you don’t brush three times a day!
And flossing, don’t forget the flossing!
That’s what he gets for eating pterodactyl eggs.
Always remember, young Truggz, to floss between your fangs to avoid Pterodactyl build-up, which results in severe hellatosis.
Wow… I guess his breath must smell pterrible. Great comic, Mark!
Haha, Ptouché, Justin! Thanks, I’m glad you liked it!
That’s some bad breath!
Well they do live in the bowels of the earth….
I wonder if flossing with snakes’d solve the problem. 8)
That might actually work. They’d have to be dinosaur-sized boa constrictors, but it just may be possible…
And I thought butterflies in your tummy was bad!
I bet he’d prefer that!
I’ve heard of butterflies in the stomach, frog in the throat… But pterodactyls in the mouth? I think someone likes drawing dinosaurs!
I guess I do kind of like drawing dinos, that’s true. But, I wouldn’t write jokes just so I’d have an excuse to draw them. No, seriously.
That’s what you get for eating raw eggs.
Raw eggs whole!
He should see a voodoo Dr. for that or possibly Jeff Golblum.
Or maybe both. Or a team of dentists/spelunkers.
His breath is really pterrible! Wocka wocka!
The ptruth be ptold, it really wasn’t that pterrible! Honka! Honka!
This is probably hell’s version of halitosis.
Yes, you’re absolutely right. It’s Hellatosis.
Good one. I bet it smells terrible too.
We won’t even mention the trilobites!
Perhaps he needs to chew his food a little more thoroughly… Just an idea.
That’s a good suggestion. It’s hard to get them out. I mean, once those flocks start nesting…
WOW! You get so many commenters!!
Testament to the quality of your strip, sir.
ROLFE
Thanks ROLFE. Really a testament to commenting on other people’s strips as well. It’s like comment pollination.
I freaking love those tiny pterodactyls! So freaking adorable. Also, ew, why is that Trugg full of pterodactyls?!
It’s a metaphor for someone who says something bad every time they open their mouth. Or it could be just that Truggz have abominable oral hygiene… I’m glad you liked it!
i guess pterodactyls use his mouth like a cave? or are they parasitic vermin? so many unanswered questions!
Until some expedition treks to the center of the Earth, we’ll probably never know…!
A little Pepto-bismol clears that right up!
We’re gonna need at least two tanker trucks full, of course.
Why are they walking around with a club? Are they gaurding something?
You never know what even bigger beasties are running around in the dark 4000 miles below the Earth’s surface! Best to always be prepared. Oh, and I think they look cooler with them, anyway.
Looks like someone has been eating too much fast food.
I’ll never complain about having stuff in my teeth again!
The same happens to me but it’s moths when I open my wallet
And why not? It has a leather interior, and it’s so spacious inside your wallet! Moths dream of living like that since they were caterpillars!
