Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for October 22, 2021

What, no politics? Great job, Ruben!

The Mote in Dog’s Eye.

(sings) “Daaaavey! Davey Crockett! Looked just like Daniel Boone!” oh god i am so old

I used to have a coonskin hat when I was a kid. Could never figure out how to split a tree with a single axe throw like on TV.

Pannichi: like Pagliacci, but his name fits more easily into speech bubbles.

Pannichi, should have made them gummies.

Charlie Brown used to be the Voice of Reason in Q-Nuts – what happened?

Not only did they all have the same haircut, but they were quite tall, with Clint Walker (of Cheyenne fame) probably being the tallest at 6’6", and they lived fairly long lives, too…

Ah, Sedgwick. Looks like this time “dog” in reverse really is “god”. If you’re a pantheist. Or panentheist.

Today’s “Bug” certainly puts everything into perspective. I mean, vis-a-vis, if you see what I mean. You know?

I don’t really have much to comment on today’s strip, so I’ll just go with the old tried and true standard: “capitalism sucks”.

Also, “dog” spelled backwards is “god”. Have I pleased you, Mighty Sedgwick?

The secret messages I get from this comic strip seem to be blurry or staticy today. (I suppose that the secret messages readers get from MY posts are even worse!)

Pannichi needs a taste of his own medicine.

It’s easy to tell them apart. Davy Crockett wore a coonskin cap. The real Daniel Boone wore an elegant beaver felt top hat, and the Hollywood Daniel Boone wore the skin of a dead beaver on his head.

Fun fact. Daniel Boone had a now-living descendant who was an awkward dancer. No kidding, search out her bio. https://www.quora.com/What-is-your-most-embarrassing-dance-memory/answer/Darva-Campbell

Last strip reminiscent of “40,000 years between the panels”.
