Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for November 03, 2023

As usual, spot on. Which side is against killing innocent civilians? I’m all for them.

God’s kinda a dick.

This comic depicts the situation perfectly.

Much as I’m frustrated to death, pun intended, with killing in the name of some god or another (in this case the same god) I have to point out that a lot of “good” has been done through religion over the centuries. Of course, a lot of “evil” has as well. Religion is a tool, created to shape and control human behavior. Like any other tool, it can be used as intended, or not. A hammer can be used to create homes. It can also be used to tear them down.

Wait, whut? Are you saying the movie was a metaphor? Wow, I’ll need to rethink my interpretation.

Corporate America externalizing the costs of the Farolacton Juice™ factory.

Nothing truer. 100% accurate… Sadly.

If this is about what I think it’s about, King Kong isn’t quite as big as Godzilla. And Godzilla should probably be wearing a mix of paraphernalia from certain countries (america, UK, canada, etc).

At least they’re not eating toilets. (Deep reference to the 8 bit Nintendo game Rampage that my nephew and I used to play ad nauseum.) Ironically, my nephew now has a job in real estate.

Timely

A new classic strip from Ruben!

Good one! Timely. Freedom is just another word for that crunching sound your bones make when you’re being crushed by your savior!

Message on target today

There really are bad people on both sides. What’s worse is that they’re in charge.

No doubt that in 20 years, this could be run on a Thursday as a “Classic Tom the Dancing Bug”, and still be relevant to world affairs.

“When elephants fight, the grass gets trampled.

“When elephants make love, the grass also gets trampled.”

—- African proverb

A strange way to define “protect”. “It was necessary to destroy the village to protect it.”

There is no justice to be had here, except by inflicting greater injustice.
