    Being stepped on by a cartoonist sounds rather brutal. I don’t think Sister Teresa has it in her to kill anything.

    I’d rather be trapped with a beginner on the accordion than with someone (or somebug) who’s a beginner on a string instrument.

    …but, I personally ‘am’ a Buddy Holly fan…

    …stepped on by a cartoonist?…

    …some people would pay good money for that…

    …hello?…

    …it’s the Tidy Bowl…

    …not the Titanic…

    …every comic strip should have a troupe of never aging teenagers playing in a garage…

    …“sometimes you’re the windshield…

    ….sometimes you’re the bug”…

    …first Freddie Mercury…

    …now. Elizabeth…

    …thank Goodness Brian May is still around…

    I feel that way about cricket fiddling too, and I’m not even a cricket.

    I Wouldn’t want to speak for all cartoonists, but I also doubt Sister T would knowingly step on a bug.

    She gets an “E” for effort, but Spy vs. Cockroach just doesn’t have the same cachet as Spy vs. Spy.

    Guess she’s not playing the cello version of The Flight of the Bumble Bee … Maybe it’s La Cucaracha?

    Don’t his musical legs work? At closer inspection, I see that this fellow isn’t a cricket. Praying mantis type head and a roach’s body.

    I’d say ENOUGH, too, if he was playing “Turkey in the Straw.”

    Why choose? It’s possible to be poisoned, smashed on a windshield (fall in the road), where a cartoonist steps on it (leaving behind half from the cartoonist’s shoe). What’s left is eaten by a bird. Bon Appetit!

    Just seen on FACEPLANT :

    Mahatma Gandhi had callouses on his feet, a frail body, and an odd diet that plagued him with bad breath … that’s right …

    Bug plays cello! Companion stunned!

    The cellist can’t be any worse than Amos van Hoesen (9 Chickweed Lane) when he is distracted by Edda!

    May I never be stepped on by a cartoonist! —A fate worse than death, if not its cause….

    …punk roach isn’t to every bugs liking…

    …played at as close to 65,000 Hz as possible…

    …it drives the bug audience crazy…

    …the bug group…

    … Cuban American Embassy …

    …kills them every performance…

    …literally…

    …above is their album cover of their 4th album…

    …the title is so long…

    …most punk roach fans simply call it …

    …Teresa’s Frog Applause …

    …well known as the bugs running with the bulls…

    …or Pamplona’s kitchen…

    …two great punk roach concert gatherings…
