Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for March 20, 2020

For those of you who wish to read the source of “Kittens Reciting the Words of Satan,” go to John Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” Book IV.

Of course it’s not Jaws! He doesn’t have stainless steel teeth and he’s not being played by actor Richard Kiel.

Actually the bats are avenging their ancestors by making us sick.

Right, his name was Bruce.

I remember Topher from his earlier strip “Tales of F.W. Planarian”.

Is that an “odd” weather forecast for Chicago?

Jean Paul, the existentialist flatworm. Je pense, donc je suis!

I hate to break it to you, Bats, but that Robin you hang out with is (gasp) a descendant of the dinosaurs!

“All hail the flatworm god!”

kittens are hilarious

Actually, “Jaws” in France (and probably Quebec and other predominantly French jurisdictions) is “The Teeth of the Sea”.

The “Secret Origins” strip on the right is reminiscent of this:

This strip delivers. I got more than my money’s worth. Will read again.

I wish our cat would read to me, even if it’s Milton.

“I will go further and say all cats are wicked, though often useful. Who has not seen Satan in their sly faces? Some preachers will say, well that is superstitious ‘clap-trap.’ My answer is this: Preacher, go to your Bible and read Luke 8: 26-33.”

Schrodingers Cat mixed with the “when a butterfly flaps it’s wings in china” trope – brilliant!

Bats first appeared about 52 million years ago. That’s just 13 my after the extinction of the Dinosaurs. The first bats still had claws on their webbed fingers and no echolocation ability yet. Still they along with rodents are the most successful of mammals on this planet.

I didn’t know that COVID-19 caused hallucinations, but looking at this here toon, I have to wonder…….

I see a series on “How to Draw Gibbon the Ocelot” on the horizon!

It’s note every day you say a comic featuring jokes involving TWO different species of invertebrates! Well done. That takes… well, backbone! (More please)

Oh, and here’s one that doesn’t get enough attention, the great purple sock creature!https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35482467

Nice, Dante.
