Bug Down! on October 4, 2013 Chapter: Comic Special thanks to Peter Marinacci, creator of all the fuzzy fun at Wombania for inspiring this strip.
Whew! That was close! ;`)
By a gnat’s eyelash!
This is why flying brooms is simply NOT the way to go.
Broom riders always have to have a back-up plan!
Eat your heart out, Mary Poppins! 🙂
With a spoonful of sugar!
Love the Mary Poppins move at the end!
The Mary Poppins maneuver has saved many a umbrella/broomer!
Mary poppin got nothing on bug!
But he’s happy to give her full credit for the umbrella flight thing.
Double purpose! Wonderful!
I love the sputtering in the second panel, Mark! I can hear it! This is a great way to start a Friday! Thanks! :O)
Magic doesn’t last forever, you know! Glad he’s fast on his tarsus!
Great idea Peter. The Mary Poppins of the firefly world. I love his expression of total fear in panel 3 Mark.
Peter is an inventive thinker just like you, Tony! I’m honored to circulate amongst such comic genius! Thanks about panel three, you should see my face when I drew it, lol!
A nice way to say we’re crazier than most!
I wouldn’t have it any other way!
That brella ran out of bug juice for sure.
I think the warranty must have run out.
I laughed out loud at this. So the ol’ Marry Poppins trick came in handy after all.
In a most delightful way!
Panel three is what I look like on a plane! … I no likey the fly thing! [grin]
I guess they have to pry you out of your seat upon landing…?
Ha, ha! Better than a parachute! 😀
Time to hit the silk!
And so the vehicle becomes the parachute.
A paper and stick ATV!
In the event of a water landing, it can be used as a flotation device.
I’m going to show more respect the next time I order a tropical drink!
Is he going to land in one of those fruity drinks?
That will make someone extremely unhappy. I sure hope he does!
What is that thing? A mosquito?
That’s a firefly who can’t fly. You can see his first appearance here.
They just don’t make those magic broom/umbrellas like they used to.
That was a great rendering of the idea. And thanks for the plug, Mark!
I get by with a little help from my friends, Peter! You’re welcome and thanks!!
So, Thaaaats how these little umbrellas get into the drinks… I hope they at least rescue the bug before serving them to us.
Waiter, there’s a drunk fly in my drink!
