never picnic near the nuclear power plant!

It’s Them…again.

…and it’s that silly little bug again.. this time by the tree in the upper right corner.

They say don’t go, to Three mile island. If you’re looking, for a wife. Cos’ here a while back now, they had a meltdown. And it’s created, new forms of life. Apologies to P&B.

Bleeb & Dalcon both today !!

Hon, Did you at least bring the cholate sauce

Shades of “The Food of the Gods.”

Silly ants, picnickers are for Bears!

Honey, I shrunk the picnickers.

Remember “Them”? (a movie)

When humans are no more the insects will still be here.

It’s just Ant Em, Ant May, & Ant Jemima.

Careful of the Solenopsis invicta !

Wow. I wonder what those ants could carry?

what if they’re twice the size of a human… :{

Famous last words!!!

“Get the other antenna! Get the other antenna!”

They’re gi-ants.

get the 50 gallon drum of Raid and the Pink Panther- dead ant, dead ant…

“We’ve come for your wife, Chuck.”

Bleeb and Dalcon picked a bad time and place to renew their rivalry.

Interrupt? Why, no, we just want to join you! We brought our own food and — oh, no, not the people, we just thought they looked hungry, so we brought them along!

What… ah, what are the ants doing to that person in the background…? I thought this was a G-rated, or even PG-rated, comics page….

Watch out for Bleeps bad cousin! Looks like he’s aiding the ants.

The ants go marching one-by-one, hurrah, hurrah…

that’s what happens when ya live near a nuclear plant!

1950s

Aunt Bee! Aunt Bee! Are you an ant or a bee?

I think they are going to have their picnic ruined by some silly old ants.

What is that ant doing with Mildred?

some silly ants?

cockroaches would be far scarier!
