      Unfortunately, they’re not serving martinis on this flight. And they don’t make bags of peanuts their size, either…

    I love how you conveyed the “butterflies” message, very well done!

      I always thought the image of butterflies in your stomach was so visual! I’ve finally been able to do something with it!

      Originally, bug was going to have the butterflies in his stomach, but then I figured a caterpillar with butterflies would be funnier. It’s interesting the stages gags go through sometimes, isn’t it?

      Call me crazy, but I’d love to ride in the seat of a gigantic butterfly ride, wouldn’t you?

    It is a good thing that they weren’t using a bird.

      Being served in-flight lunch is one thing, BEING in-flight lunch is another thing altogether!

    The caterpillar is practicing for when he sprouts wings. Great storytelling, Mark!

      Ha, I never thought of that, Joseph. I might have to do some strips with that theme… (if you don’t mind…)…

    Absolutely love the symbolism of the caterpillar having butterflies in his tummy XD.

    As always, very creative. Fantastic Job!

      I’m so glad you glommed onto that, Alexander. The joke started with a caterpillar having butterflies in his stomach, and it just flitted from there! I appreciate that you like it, thanks for reading and commenting!

      I never ate a butterfly, but I’ve had plenty in my stomach before!

    I wonder if butterflies get butterflies when they’re nervous.

      I think that warrants a thorough scientific investigation, Jack!

    I just hope that the butterfly doesn’t decide to migrate, otherwise they could be in for a very long flight!

    I’d be nervous too, butterflies can go berserk if they get too excited

        It’d be like riding in a jet fighter plane. Maybe I should send Bruce to see them for flying lessons

      When it comes down to it, if I’m going to make something, I want to have fun! Zombies, witches, devil dogs, boogers, bugs… I go with whatever makes me smile. Glad you like ’em, Rich, it truly means a lot!
